IR Sensor: The IR sensor is used to detect the presence of a vehicle. When a vehicle enters the range of the sensor, it detects its presence. Relay Module: The relay module is used to control the system. Once the IR sensor detects a vehicle, it sends a signal to the relay module, which in turn activates the LED bulb and alarm. LED Bulb: The LED bulb is used to indicate the presence of a vehicle coming from the opposite side. When a vehicle is detected by the IR sensor, the LED bulb on the other side turns on, alerting drivers. Alarm: The alarm sounds to provide a warning of the vehicle’s approach, ensuring further attention and safety. Wiring and Connections:
Working Principle: When a vehicle enters the range of the IR sensor, the sensor detects its presence. The IR sensor sends a signal to the relay module. The relay module then activates the LED bulb and alarm on the opposite side. The alarm and LED bulb warn the drivers that a vehicle is approaching.
Objectives: Enhance road safety by alerting drivers about vehicles approaching from the opposite side. Prevent traffic accidents, especially in areas with limited visibility. Create a simple and cost-effective vehicle detection system for traffic monitoring.
Expected Outcomes: Early warning system for approaching vehicles, giving drivers more time to react. Improved awareness and timely responses from drivers to avoid accidents. Efficient use of sensors and alarms to ensure smooth traffic flow and safety.
Applications: Safety alert system on narrow roads or blind spots. Traffic control at signal points or crossing areas. Monitoring vehicles in industrial areas or warehouses where safety is critical.
Future Improvements: Use of advanced sensors (e.g., ultrasonic) for better accuracy. Integration with traffic signal systems for automated control. Solar-powered systems for cost-effective outdoor applications.
