Abstract: The annual accidental deaths and suicides in India (ADSI) reports published by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) provide data on the recorded incidences of accidents in the country. Recently, the NCRB released the 55th edition of this report, ADSI 2021. As per the 2021 report, there were 3.97 lakh accidental deaths in 2021. In this context, it has been seen that some of them were due to accidents at crossroads (roads that are connected with main roads). Road safety is emerging as a major social concern for every country, and in this regard, various measures have been taken by different governments. The Indian government has been attempting to tackle this crucial issue for several years. It has been observed that at crossroads, the vehicles are unaware of the coming vehicle from another road (specifically on the main road) and often meet an accident. Thus, this device will help people avoid road crashes and could save many lives. Once the supply gets on, the Arduino NANO sends a signal to activate the ultrasonic sensor, which detects the presence of the vehicle by measuring the distance of the vehicle available on the road by ultrasonic technique. This information is sent to the microcontroller. If a vehicle is available, then a red LED will blink continuously, and a buzzer will produce a beep sound to indicate the presence of a vehicle at the crossroads (T-point). If no vehicle is available on the road, then the green LED will blink continuously without any alarming sound, indicating that the road is clear.
Description:Currently, there is no such device that can warn the vehicles that are coming from the collector road/local street and stop the collision. Due to this, many road accidents occur at such crossroads or T-points. The invention lets the drivers (on the collector road or Local Street, etc.) warn about the vehicles passing through crossroads on the highways and can save many lives.Once the supply gets on, the Arduino NANO (decision making device (2)) sends a signal to activate the ultrasonic sensor (Distance measuring device (1)) which detects the presence of the vehicle by measuring the distance of the vehicle available on the road by ultrasonic technique. This information is sent to the decision-making device (1). If a vehicle is available, then a red light-emitting diode (LED) (Indicating device (3)) will blink continuously, and a buzzer (Alarming device (4)) produces a beep sound to indicate the presence of the vehicle at the crossroads (T-point). If no vehicle is available on the road, then the green LED (Indicating device (3)) will blink continuously without any alarming sound, indicating that the road is clear. , C , Claims:1. A road safety device comprising a distance measuring device (1), decision making device (2), indicating device (3) and an alarming device (4).
2. The decision making device (2) as claimed in claim 1 is a microcontroller utilised as a decision-making and controlling device. It takes the distance from the distance measuring device (1) and generates an appropriate signal for indicating device (3) and alarming device (4).
3. The distance measuring device (1) as claimed in claim 1 is an ultrasonic sensor that estimates the distance of the vehicle available on the road and sends a signal to the decision making device (2) for further processing.
4. The Indicating device (3) as claimed in claim 1 comprises three LED’s RED, YELLOW, and GREEN. If a vehicle is available, then the RED LED (Indicating device (3)) will blink continuously, and the buzzer (Alarming device (4)) will produce a beep sound to indicate the presence of a vehicle at the crossroads (T-point). If no vehicle is available on the road, then the GREEN LED (Indicating device (3)) will blink continuously without any alarming sound indicating that road is clear.
5. Device as claimed in claim 1 is low-cost.
6. Device as claimed in claim 1 is maintenance free.
