Numerous car accidents occur every day that could easily be avoided. The purpose of our project is to develop a prototype system that will minimize these accidents and could eventually be expanded for commercial applications.

Description: Modified RC car that can sense oncoming accidents and take corrective action.

Objectives:

  • Develop sensor array that
    • Senses objects from multiple directions
    • Detects relative speed of approaching objects
  • Provide warning feedback to user when accidents are imminent
  • Develop a system that overrides manual control from the user in order to prevent accidents that include
    • Head on collision
    • Merging into blind spots
    • Backing into stationary objects

Extended features:

  • Detecting surface road conditions and taking corrective action
