A.Kula Sekhar, Nishad Nazar

Abstract: Present days, the automotive industry is mainly focusing on the road safety measures. The automobiles have been constantly updating with new sensing technologies to detect blind spots, which can prevent road accidents. Almost 1.32 million people die in road accidents each year. Blind spot of an automobile is the region of the vehicle which cannot be observed properly while looking either through side or rear mirror view. To meet the above requirements, this paper describes detecting blind spot by using ultrasonic sensor and controlling the direction of car by automatic steering. The technology embedded in the system is capable of automatically steer the vehicle away from an obstacle if the system determines that a collision is impending or if the vehicle is in the vicinity of our car.
