Collision Avoidance with Rear End Detection

Introduction

This project aims to utilize LiDAR technology to detect the position of vehicles trailing behind motorcycles, with the intention of alerting the motorcycle rider if there is a risk of collision from the rear. LiDAR technology offers high accuracy in detecting distances and position of objects, making it a suitable solution for this purpose. By implementing this system, we hope to enhance motorcycle safety and prevent accidents caused by rear-end collisions.

Testing

The mentioned process involves using a sensor that is promptly covered to notify the Arduino when a fast-moving object is detected. This triggers the oscillations that follow, which indicate the repetitive approach of the object. Upon a sharp spike in the position of the object, the Klaxon is activated. The mentioned system could be useful in various applications, including detecting fast-moving vehicles or objects in areas where visual detection is limited.

Small Desmos Animation

The animation shows the motorcycle slowing down in front of the vehicle behind while the vehicle slows down at a faster rate, thereby preventing a collision. The animation can also display the acceleration, velocity, and position data for both the motorcycle and the vehicle in real-time, allowing the user to monitor the system's performance.
