Implementation of Embedded Automobile Black Box Using PIC Microcontroller

Abstract

Automobile black box stores vital information about the date, time, speed of the vehicle, distance between the vehicles and engine temperature for every 0.5 sec. This information in the black box is useful to analyze the cause of an accident. This project was developed with two PIC microcontrollers. One microcontroller is used for capturing of the data from different sensors placed at different locations in the vehicle and second microcontroller is used for controlling of the motors. It compares the captured data with the standard data and it alerts the driver by giving the warnings whenever it finds dangerous driving levels and also if the temperature conditions of the engine exceeds the safe value. It stops the vehicle safely whenever the distance between the vehicle below the minimum range or it detects the alcohol consumed by the driver. It prevents the traffic accidents. Thus the project work ensures safety of the vehicle and the occupants.
