Description:Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Sensor Based Truck Accident Avoidance System.
Background of the Invention
In recent years, the demand for more auto safety features and better crash-rating systems has increased, with the increasing number of crashes and the fatalities and injuries related to these crashes. According to the Insurance Institute for highway safety and the Highway loss data institute, safety detect and long hours contribute to large truck crashes. Sometimes a truck driver not performing their duty properly can cause accident.
US8766846B2 A vehicle with an accident prevention system is disclosed. The vehicle also has a foot brake for stopping the vehicle. The system includes a sensor arrangement for sensing an object behind a rear end of the vehicle that generates an object recognition signal when it senses an object within range behind the vehicle. The sensor arrangement includes passive IR sensors or reflected pulse sensors such as sonar or radar sensors on the rear end. A controller generates an accident prevention response signal on receiving an object recognition signal from the sensor arrangement. A brake applicator is operatively coupled to the brake to stop the vehicle when the controller generates a response signal. Conveniently the system includes an alarm for sounding an alarm signal. A method for preventing an accident where a vehicle which is reversing at low speed collides with a person is also disclosed.
RESEARCH GAP: The proposed system will be comprising of two proximity sensors on either side of the transport carrier.
Vision 3600 camera along with the GPS sensor will be installed on the truck.
US8766846B2 A safety back-up system for a vehicle automatically applies the brakes to stop the vehicle against reverse movement when the vehicle begins moving backward without an attendant at the rear of the vehicle. The system senses reverse motion of the vehicle, whether rolling backward down an incline or driven backward by the engine and automatically applies the brakes, unless the automatic braking is disabled by application of a manual input by an attendant positioned near the rear of the vehicle with a handheld signal transmitter. A manual override device is available to the vehicle's driver, enabling the driver to override the automatic braking device from inside the vehicle when necessary. A record may be kept in a computer memory of all uses of the manual override, to assure that the system is not defeated. A driver seat switch may also be included, independent of the driver's override switch, for also applying the brakes if the driver leaves the seat while the vehicle is stationary, moving backward or moving slowly forward.
RESEARCH GAP: The system will be embedded with a display unit to provide all the information about the nearby vehicles to the driver.
An alert will be generated on the display unit in case any other vehicle is in proximity of the truck.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. This invention relates to Sensor Based Truck Accident Avoidance System.
