CAN : Protocol-Based Embedded System to Avoid Rear-End Collision of Vehicles

Driver and passenger safety is one of the prime concerns in modern day vehicle. Alarming statistics of accidents and increased number of vehicles on road demands for an intelligent safety mechanism that helps the driver in handling immediate precarious situations like sudden probability of a rear- end collision. CAN transport (Controller Area Network) which is broadly utilized as a part of various fields of industry and specific in the auto business, which permit the investigation of information going through the transport and era of messages.

 A dynamic shrewd demonstrative framework on the system that cautions and helps the driver in effective driving and the technical expert with finding among other accessible information is the need of great importance. The work proposes arduino based execution to caution around a crash and overcome it. The controller is employed with a built-in CAN protocol which plays the major role in communicating with all the devices and sensors. Ultrasonic sensor acts as an obstacle detector for front-end of the vehicle. Motor driver acts as an interface between controller and the motor it will represent vehicle. MEMS sensor is used to detect the accident whenever accident is occurred it will send location of the vehicle to the corresponding stack holders.
