for accident avoidence / for energy generation / for better driver assitence
Smart rumble strips are the strips which are useful for various purposes like cooperative driving to avoid accident around blind corners, to avoid the overturning of trucks and lorries, energy harvesting and many more. We developed a system for different types of problem for that we need to use different sensors as per the requirement. Like in cooperative assistance system highly precise pressure sensors used, for energy harvesting system piezoelectric harvesting tech. is used. And open-source Arduino Uno is used as a microcontroller. Bluetooth module for communication within the system.
And other application which could be possible. Demonstration of the project is also carried out to test field performance and found very successful.
Potential Application of this project
Rollovers occur when a truck’s wheels lose contact with the road, causing the truck to end up on its side, or even upside-down. But unfortunately, no technology or system yet develop to prevent the overturning or help to avoid it.
Blind corners are main reasons behind most of accident along Hilly corners.
With the help of a smart rumble strip, driver gets to know that is any vehicle approaching him or not from the opposite direction. Especially in the curved road where vision is not clear and looming vehicle are not able to see. If the driver comes to know that the road next to him/her is empty then it will be easy to take overtake along the corners.
Natural desasters like landslid, cause fatel accident. So smart rumble strips helps to monitor the road conditions in such prone areas. If the strips found and such emergiencies then it can easily detect and inform so local authorities to clear the road.
Traffic surveys are used for a variety of purposes including helping to resolve national, regional and local traffic issues.
A Number of vehicle passes through the particular road.
We can differentiate vehicles like lightweight vehicles, medium weight vehicles and big trucks or lorries. Go get
This record will be helpful to measure vehicle traffic flow , vehicle density
Data could be beneficial for advanced traffic management for the improvement in traffic signals.
Green roads and energy generation from the road, comes under energy harvesting.
The open-circuit voltage generated from the PEH under the actual road traffic conditions was higher than 250 V. And that much energy is sufficient for to glow the LED lamps in hilly areas or traffic lights.
Overtaking is hazardous because it may bring you into the path of other vehicles. It is a very complex manoeuver and the driver needs to take a risk each time while overtaking.
