ABSTRACT

Automobiles have become an integrated part of our daily life. The development of technology has improved the automobile industry in both cost & efficiency. Still, accidents prove as challenge to technology. Highway accident news are frequently found in the newspapers. The automobile speed has increased with development in technology through years and the complexity of the accidents has also increased. Higher speeds the accidents prove to be more fatal. Man is intelligent with reasoning power and can respond to any critical situation. But under stress and tension he falls as a prey to accidents. The manual control of speed & braking of a car fails during anxiety. Thus automated speed control & braking system is required to prevent accidents. This automation is possible only with the help of Artificial Intelligence (Fuzzy Logic).

In this paper, Fuzzy Logic control system is used to control the speed of the car based on the obstacle sensed. The obstacle sensor unit senses the presence of the obstacle. The sensing distance depends upon the speed of the car. Within this distance, the angle of the obstacle is sensed and the speed is controlled according to the angle subtended by the obstacle. If the obstacle cannot be crossed by the car, then the brakes are applied and the car comes to rest before colliding with the obstacle. Thus, this automated fuzzy control unit can provide an accident free journey.
