Wireless Blind Spot Detection and Embedded Microcontroller
Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a blind spot detection system for installation on semitrucks to mitigate safety risks the vehicle poses due to low visibility of the surrounding area. The system is designed for easy attachment as well as operation at highway speeds. The system will have seven transmitters and a receiver with LCD display. The seven sensors attached to the vehicle will detect traffic in the vehicle’s blind spots and transmit a signal to the receiver. The receiver LCD display will alert the driver by lighting the cab image and the obstructed sensor. All eight components of the system are powered by rechargeable batteries, which are charged via a wireless charging tray connected to the 12 V power source of the vehicle. This paper describes the design, implementation, and results of each of these objectives.
