Analysis of a Hybrid Model of Automated Vehicle Safety System Consists of Rain Sensor-Controlled Wiper and Ultrasonic Sensor-Based Auto-Braking System

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of a novel hybrid model integrating two crucial safety features in modern vehicles: a Rain Sensor-Controlled Wiper (RSCW) and an Ultrasonic Sensor-Based Auto-Braking System (US-ABS) using Arduino UNO micro-controller. The integration of these systems aims to enhance vehicle safety by addressing two critical aspects: visibility during adverse weather conditions and collision avoidance through automated braking mechanisms. The Rain Sensor-Controlled Wiper (RSCW) component utilizes advanced sensor technology to detect precipitation on the vehicle's windshield accurately. Upon detection, the system automatically activates the wiper mechanism, tuning the wiper speed and frequency according to the amount of rainfall. By ensuring optimal visibility, the RSCW system significantly reduces the possibility of mishaps brought on by vision impairment due to rain, snow, or other weather phenomena. Complementing the RSCW, the Ultrasonic Sensor-Based Auto-Braking System (US-ABS) serves as a proactive safety measure to prevent collisions. Employing ultrasonic sensors strategically positioned around the vehicle, the US-ABS continuously monitors the surrounding environment for obstacles, vehicles, or pedestrians. When an imminent collision risk is detected, the system triggers automatic braking interventions to mitigate or entirely prevent potential accidents. In this analysis, we evaluate the effectiveness of the hybrid model by considering various factors, including accuracy, response time, and real-world performance. We have explored potential synergies between the RSCW and US-ABS components, assessing how their integration can further improve overall safety and reliability.
