SAFETY ENHANCEMENT THROUGH VEHICLE DECELERATION & BRAKING INDICATORS

Sahil Varpe , Head of Mechanical Engg Dept, Agnel Polytechnic, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, India

Abstract

In recent years, advancements in vehicle safety technologies have focused on enhancing driver awareness and response capabilities. This paper explores the development and implementation of a deceleration and braking indicator system aimed at improving road safety. The system integrates real-time vehicle deceleration data with visual and/or auditory indicators to alert drivers of imminent braking events. By leveraging onboard sensors and computing capabilities, the system provides timely and accurate feedback to drivers, facilitating quicker reaction times and potentially reducing the risk of collisions. This review discusses the design principles, operational framework, and potential benefits of such indicators in various driving conditions. Furthermore, it examines the impact of these technologies on overall road safety, emphasizing their role in mitigating accidents and promoting safer driving practices. The insights presented underscore the significance of integrating proactive safety measures into vehicle design and operation, paving the way for safer road environments globally.
