III. EXPERIMENTAL RESULT

Figure 1 gives the brief result about the minimum safety
distance and the distance covered by vehicle when system
applies the brakes. This result is taken considering friction
factor μ=0.5.
From figure 1, the result observed is that the vehicle
stopped before collision can occur.
IV. CONCLUSION
The main focus of future is safety and automation of
vehicle. Though the vehicles of today are not equipped with
this system, through this project we have detected distance
between two vehicle and calculated the safety distance, by
which warning is given to the driver and taken actions
depending upon driver’s reaction by which collision
avoidance is achieved successfully using the system.
Although this project is done using a simple prototype,
it can be implemented on actual cars also, as the basic
concepts remain the same.
