Compact and Innovative Footboard Accident Prevention System in Automobiles

The world's rising death toll from traffic accidents can be considerably decreased if contemporary technology is integrated into cars to monitor the driver's condition at regular intervals while the vehicle is in motion and take automatic preventative measures. Under peculiar circumstances, creating and implementing an intelligent safety system for a vehicle is the aim of this project. In India, majority of the accidents are happening due to foot board travel in buses. Footboard accidents are more common among office workers, college students and school children. Travelling in unsafe condition in bus foot board can lead to such a worst condition. An innovative vehicle module equipped with sensors and an alarm system is designed to address the challenges. An autonomous accident prevention device called the “Smart Footboard Accident Prevention” device helps to prevent accidents caused by passengers misusing the footboard on buses. This study aims at saving human life by detecting the presence of a person on the stairs of the bus using piezoelectric sensors. The current technology prevents the bus from accelerating when a passenger is on the footboard while the vehicle is stationary, ensuring the safety of the passengers during the boarding and arrival process. The proposed system's hardware uses less electricity and takes up a smaller space. Many people lose their lives in bus accidents each year as a result of footboard travel. Tragedies might occur due to the carelessness of the driver or the passenger. Therefore, the development of intelligent bussystems ensures the safety of its passengers.
