Blind Spot Sensor - What Is It?

When driving, blind spots are the places you cannot see when using your side mirrors. They are so undetectable that some drivers don't even know they are there, which frequently results in accidents. The issue is that blind spots are more problematic than you might realize. They frequently induce worry in people and numerous auto accidents. Blind-spot monitoring decreases lane-changing incidents by 14%, according to a 2017 paper from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Additionally, it decreases injuries from lane-change collisions by 23%. It demonstrates that fewer car accidents would occur if more vehicles had blind spot sensors.Blind spots can be partially avoided, though, if you know where to look. Our blind spot sensors illuminate an internal warning light so that you can notice if a car is in your blind spot.Your driving confidence will be increased by our blind spot sensors.

Supplies

Arduino
Wires
Uultrasonic Sensor
3 Lights (green, yellow, red)
Box/container
bread board

Measure and Record Distance

Find the distance of the blind spot and the angles necessary to have the sensor in sight.

Code Arduino

it is necessary to code the arduino to the distance of the blind spot in a car. This is approximately between 1 and 2 meters for our car

Green is for safe distance
Yellow is close
Red is too close (do not merge lanes )

This link will show you the code I used on thinker cad:

Build Arduino

As seen in the image you test out in tinkercad until the necessary build is found. Then you take the device and build in real life.

Install Device

Second, stick the device on the back corner of the car. Keeping in mind to have the light showing in the mirror.

Testing

Make sure the light distance turns on at the places of your choosing. If not go back to the code and change to re-upload
