Blind-spot monitoring system using Lidar

Abstract

Background: Most of the mishaps withs vehicles takes place because driver is unable to see objects around a vehicle in the blind spot zone. Any vehicle travelling in the blind spot is under serious threat as its presence is completely unknown to the driver. Objective: This research paper proposes a blind-spot monitoring and alert system that is devised to provide an early warning with regard to the proximity of surrounding vehicles to the driver. Methods: First, the significance of blind-spot monitoring is described. Then, the different blind-spot detection technologies compiled during research are presented. Electronics system along with software in the form of mobile Conclusion: Our contributions in this paper are (1) A detailed study for blind spot detection using Lidar. (2) Design and development of a retrofittable wireless blind-spot detection system with high accuracy. Additionally, alarm system that alerts the driver avoiding mishap has been successfully tested.
