Solar-Assisted Smart Driving System for Sustainable Transportation

Objective: The is an innovative solution constructed to upgrade technology and provide a safety procedure in the world of transportation. The operation addresses the common fault of driver fatigue and incapability in certain unfortunate situations, providing a safe aid to the man behind the wheel. The system enables the usage of multi-powered source to reduce environmental harm combined with its Intelligent Machine learning algorithms which are utilising high advanced sensors to provide safe directional driving and assistance to our fellow people.  Novelty: This incentivizing solution to the current predicament in our country aims to reduce accident by huge percent. The goal isn't merely to present an answer to our helpless drivers but to produce a better alternative to “conventional vehicles”. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology and intelligent algorithms imbued inside an advanced version of EV, this system aims to redefine futuristic transportation and contribute to a more secure and efficient public transportation environmentally. In short, This Project represents a potential advancement in transportation, security of lives, technology, and offering proactive measures to prevent catastrophes.  Methodology: In this project, a Control kit is employed which is responsible for monitoring the driver's behaviour in real-time. Our Driver Alert System (Control kit) uses Arduino Mega, a 16 Channel Relay, a 12V Batteries, 22V Solar Panel, sensors like Ultrasonic along with Laptop and its camera. All together combined and assembled using several jumper wires and program code run in software to perform intended operation. The Project involves combining the python and C++ run code in master-slave fashion for smooth and lag free operation. The application in the real world would be replacing laptop with Raspberry Pi and suitable code and assembling it all with PCB Board. When potential risks are identified by camera which are constantly monitoring the user behind the wheel, the system promptly alerts the driver through feedback by engaging modes. In case of absence of response from driver, Auto-Pilot mode enters action and takes control of steering, driving the vehicle safely. While this operation is active the user cannot tap out system out of the mode unless special command keys that are designed to operate our Solar Bus. The vehicles use powerful Motor systems for robust pickup and performance. Also, it uses renewable energy technology for environ concerns and prepares drive efficient V2G system which allows for charging for vehicle batteries and also for power supply. The Vehicle-to-Grid aids other EV’s in reducing time consumption of charging.  Findings: Solar Based EV, Auto Pilot Assist, Driver Monitoring, Efficient Energy Usage, Vehicle-Grid application.
