Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science in Engineering, Youngstown State University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The Driver’s Safety Analyzer was designed after deeply researching over the subject and realizing the need of it in the world. The car safety system, in a whole, is developed to protect the driver from having a car accident. Breaking the safety system in different parts, first, there will be the controlling system that prevents the car from leaving its lane if there is another car in its blind spot. Second, the system which automatically stops the car when approaching a vehicle. Third the system is developed to protect the driver from the car accident, such as the airbags, etc. However, it is known that many car accidents are caused by the driver’s irresponsibility. According to psychologists, the human beings are, by average, overconfident of themselves. They will always assume they are above average (more capable than an ordinary human). This behavior is what pushes the person to commit wrong decisions such as, driving after drinking alcoholic beverages, driving without sleeping, texting while driving, and driving for long periods of hours without resting. The Driver’s Safety Analyzer is developed to possibly solve the overconfidence behavior problem. Using microprocessor, microcomputer, and coding the system can monitor the driver’s behavior and control the environment preventing the driver to commit wrong decisions.
