[0019] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0020] The present invention relates to a driving assistive device that is capable of assisting a user in driving a two wheeler vehicle with proper guidance in maintaining an appropriate distance from other vehicle in addition with notify concerned person about location of the two wheeler vehicle in order to take necessary actions.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a driving assistive device is illustrated, comprising a triangular shaped platform 101 having a motorized clamp 102, an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 103 installed over the platform 101, a pair of laser lights 104 installed over lateral sides of the platform 101, an air compressor 105 arranged with the platform 101, an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) 106 integrated with the platform 101, a pair of LED panel 107 installed over lateral sides of the platform 101, and an air blower 108 installed with the platform 101.

[0022] The proposed device comprises of a triangular shaped platform 101 encased with various components associated with the device arrange in sequential manner that aids in assisting a user in driving. Herein, the platform 101 is attached with seat post of a two wheeler by means of a motorized clamp 102 attached beneath the seat. Further, the platform 101 is configured with an inflatable cushion that provides comfort to a user during sitting over the platform 101. During affixing the platform 101 with the seat post, the user requires to activate the device manually by pressing a button integrated with the platform 101. The button is type of a switch that is internally connected with the device via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conduction of electricity that tends to activate the device and vice versa.

[0023] After activating of the device by the user, a microcontroller associated with the device generates a commands to operate the device accordingly. Upon activating the device, the microcontroller actuates the motorized clamp 102 to grip the seat post of the two-wheeler vehicle. The motorized clamp 102 linked with a hinge that is activated by the microcontroller to provide back and forth movement to the clamp 102 to grip the seat post. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates an air compressor 105 is arranged with the platform 101 that is actuated by the microcontroller to inflate the inflatable cushion to provide comfort to the user upon sitting.

[0024] The air compressor 105 comprises of a motor, an inlet and outlet valve, a pump, and a storage tank. The air of surroundings of the platform 101 enters from the inlet valve to compressed and pumped into the tank. The volume of air then reduced by a mechanical equipment powered by the motor. When the pressure reaches a certain level, then the compressor 105 shut off automatically. Further, the collected pressurized air in the storage tank is passed through the outlet valve to exit out accordingly within the inflatable cushion to inflate the inflatable cushion to provide comfort to the user. Herein, weight sensor is integrated in the platform 101 to detect weight of the user while sitting over the platform 101. The weight sensor comprises a weight transducer that convert weight of the user into an electrical signal that exert a downward force on the weight sensor. Within load cell of the sensor, there are strain gauges that deform slightly due to weight. The deformation causes changes in electrical resistance within the strain gauges. The sensor then calibrates the resistance to detect weight of the user on the platform 101.

[0025] Upon detecting the weight of the user, the microcontroller accordingly regulates actuation of the air compressor 105 to inflate the inflatable cushion appropriately to ride the vehicle in appropriate manner. Herein, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 integrated in the platform 101 to detect presence and distance of an approaching two-wheeler from rear side of the two wheeler. The imaging unit 103, disclosed herein comprises of a camera and processor that works in collaboration to capture and process the images rear side of the two-wheeler. The camera firstly captures multiple images of the rear side of the two-wheeler, wherein the camera comprises of a frame, electronic shutter, lens, lens aperture, image sensor, and imaging processor that works in sequential manner to capture images of the rear side of the two-wheeler.

[0026] After capturing of the images by the camera, the shutter is automatically open due to which the reflected beam of light coming from the surrounding due to light is directed towards the lens aperture. After then the reflected light beam passes through the image sensor. The sensor now analyzes the beam to retrieve signal from the beams which is further calibrate by the sensor to capture images of the vicinity of the body in electronic signal. Upon capturing images, the imaging processor processes the electronic signal into digital image. When the capturing is done, the processor associated with the imaging unit 103 processes the captured images by using a protocol of artificial intelligence to retrieve data from the captured image in the form of digital signal. The detected data is now transmitted to the microcontroller based on which the microcontroller acquires the data to detect the presence and distance of an approaching two-wheeler from rear side of the two wheeler.

[0027] Upon detecting the presence and distance of an approaching two-wheeler from rear side of the two wheeler, if the detected distance finds to be exceeding threshold a threshold value, then the microcontroller generates commands to actuate a pair of laser lights 104 assembled over lateral sides of the platform 101 to project markings over road to create a boundary around the two wheeler to guide driver of the two-wheeler to maintain appropriate distance from the two wheeler while driving. The laser light operates by emitting focused beams of light from the laser diodes mounted on the lateral sides of the platform 101. When activated by commands from the microcontroller, these laser beams project visible lines or patterns onto the road surface. These projected markings form a visual boundary around the two-wheeler, guiding other drivers to maintain a safe distance to maintain appropriate distance from the two wheeler while driving.

[0028] During maintaining of the distance with the other two-wheeler, if the two-wheeler gets collide with other two-wheeler, then an impact sensor integrated in the platform 101 detects impact experienced by the platform 101 due to collision of the two wheeler with the two-wheeler. The impact sensor operates by detecting sudden changes in force or acceleration experienced by the platform 101 during the collision. The sensor typically uses accelerometers or pressure-sensitive components to measure the magnitude and direction of the impact. When the two-wheeler collides with another two-wheeler, the sensor registers the sudden impact and sends a signal to the microcontroller. This data is then processed to determine the impact experienced by the platform 101 due to collision of the two wheeler with the two-wheeler.

[0029] Simultaneously, a GPS (Global Positioning System) module integrated with the microcontroller detects real time location of the platform 101 during impact of the platform 101. The GPS sends the signals of the detected location of the platform 101 to the satellite and after then a controller process that signal to analyze the location coordinates of the body. Further, that data of coordinates are sent back to the GPS module where the microcontroller analyze that coordinates data and based on the fetched location coordinates, the microcontroller sends the location coordinates to a computing unit of a concerned authority to enable sad authority to take actions accordingly.

[0030] The computing unit herein includes but not limited to a mobile and laptop that comprises a processor where the alert received from the microcontroller is stored to process and retrieve the output data in order to display in the computing unit. The microcontroller is wirelessly linked with the computing unit via a communication module which includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module. GSM (Global System for Mobile communication). The communication module acts as a medium between various electronic unit for establishing communication between the device and the computing unit to display the detected location of the platform 101 during impact experienced by the platform 101.

[0031] Additionally, a temperature sensor integrated in the platform 101 detects temperature of the platform 101. The temperature sensor operates based on the principle of detecting infrared radiation emitted by the platform 101. The temperature sensor comprises crucial components such as an infrared sensor, an optical arrangement, and a detector. It functions on the principle of detecting infrared radiation emitted by the platform 101. When the platform’s temperature exceeds absolute zero, it emits infrared radiation. The sensor captures this radiation using its optical arrangement, directing it onto a detector. Common detectors, like thermopiles or pyroelectric sensors, then convert the received infrared energy into an electrical signal. This signal undergoes processing by electronic components, translating it into a temperature reading of the platform 101.

[0032] Based on detecting the temperature of the platform 101, if the detected temperature exceeds or recedes a threshold range, then the microcontroller actuates multiple Peltier units integrated with the platform 101 to regulate temperature of the seat. The Peltier unit comprises of junctions and a thermoelectric generator (TEG) that is a solid unit which converts the heat into electric energy by the phenomena of see beck effect that is also known as form of thermoelectric effect. Further when the current flows through the junctions, the heat is removed from one junction to regulate the temperature within the platform 101 to regulate temperature of the seat for comforting the user in driving.

[0033] A moisture sensor, herein discloses integrated with the platform 101 to monitor presence of moisture over the platform 101. The moisture sensor works on the principle of measuring electrical conductivity or capacitance by using probes or electrodes that come in contact with the platform 101, and the level of moisture affects the electrical properties of the moisture. By analyzing these changes, moisture sensor accurately determine the moisture level in the platform 101. Based on detection, the microcontroller actuates an air blower 108 installed with the platform 101 to direct air towards the moisture to remove the moisture. The blower 108 comprises of a fan that is linked with a motor activated by the microcontroller to rotate the fan with specified speed to blow air over the platform 101 to dry the platform 101.

[0034] Moreover, an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) 106 installed with the platform 101 to detect light intensity in surroundings of platform 101. The LDR 106 works on a principle based on photoconductivity. When the light of the surrounding falls on the LDR 106, then the electrons in the valence band of the materials within the surrounding are desired to the conduction band. The jumping of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band detect the intensity of the light. If less electrons are desired to jump in conduction band, then the detected intensity is less. After then the LDR 106 sends the detected intensity data to the microcontroller to analyze to detect the light intensity of the surroundings.

[0035] Upon detecting intensity of light in the surroundings of the platform 101 the microcontroller matches the detected intensity with a threshold value pre-fed in database of the microcontroller. If the detected intensity recedes the threshold value, the microcontroller activates a pair of Light Emitting Diode (LED) panel 107 installed on the platform 101 for illuminating light to increase light intensity in surroundings. The working principle of LED panel 107 is based on electroluminescence activated by the microcontroller leads to generate photons in the form of energy by recombined holes and electrons. The recombination process includes jumping of the electrons from conduction bands to valance bands that aids to release energy in the form of thermal lattice vibrations known as photons that aids to glow the light in the surroundings to maintain appropriate visibility in the surrounding.

[0036] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so the user effectively carry out their appropriate functions.

[0037] The present invention works best in following manner that includes the triangular shaped platform 101 attached with seat post of a two wheeler by means of a motorized clamp 102 attached beneath the seat and the platform 101 is configured with an inflatable cushion that provides comfort to a user while sitting over the platform 101;.
