Smart Vehicle Automation Using Proximity Sensors

Academic Prototype | IoT + Automation | Final Year Project

 Project Overview 

This project focuses on improving vehicle safety and efficiency through automation and wireless technology. The system uses proximity sensors to detect obstacles and adjust the vehicle’s movement automatically, reducing collision risks. Additionally, a wireless charging mechanism is integrated to improve user convenience and reduce dependency on manual charging systems.

Objective  

• To design a prototype-based automated vehicle that can:

• Detect obstacles using sensors

• Adjust speed or stop automatically

• Provide adaptive visibility through LED indicators

• Enable wireless charging functionality

How It Works

The prototype uses ultrasonic proximity sensors connected to a microcontroller. When an obstacle is detected, the controller sends commands to the motor system, adjusting the vehicle’s movement. The wireless charging coil enables short-distance power transfer to the vehicle without a physical connection.

Key Features

• 🚗 Obstacle Detection & Auto-Braking

• ⚡ Wireless Charging Module

• 🔄 Adaptive LED and LCD Display Feedback

• 🧭 Microcontroller-Based Automation Logic

Results & Outcomes

• Successfully detected objects within short range and triggered automatic response

• Prototype wirelessly charged at a controlled short distance

• Reduced manual intervention, demonstrating improved safety automation

• Validated concept of integrating EV charging + obstacle detection in one system
