Experimental Study on Steering Wheel Pulse Measurement-Based Active Safety Systems for Collision Prevention

Abstract

Active safety system plays a vital role in automobile to enhance the safety to prevent the accidents and fatalities. Therefore, accidents are increased day by day and rider safety is striving hard to improve in an automobile. Researchers reported that more than 20 percentage of accidents occurs due to fault of the driver during driving like inattention and health related issues are the predominate one in accidents. The above issues are reduced by using the preferred system and analyze the driver condition while driving. The system shows the health condition in dashboard and displays the heart rate and warns the driver whenever the pulse range is varied more than the normal range. The measuring device mounted in driving wheel and pulse is measured using throb measuring device. The driver positioning his hand on driving wheel and considered as clock position “10 and 12”. The system warns not only to the driver and it warns to the co passengers for indicates the driver is in health issues. The research is carried out especially to prevent the fatality, severe injury and damage to the vehicle in the event of collision.
