Vehicle movement control and accident avoidance in hilly track

Negotiating a hairpin bend in a hilly track is not an easy task but demands a lot of skill, actually it is an art to come out successfully. The drivers have to be agile at all times. His sensory organs had to work overtime for a quick response. This paper brings out a technical solution by placing an interface between the man and the machine to lessen the burden on the drivers. In the proposed system sensors, communication and GPS converge to form a synergic solution to this peril. GPS technology takes care of the location of the vehicles with respect to the hairpin bend to decide the priority in which vehicles have to move. Information exchange between vehicles regarding speed, distance, direction and vehicle type is captured by the system and the decision based on algorithms is passed on to the vehicle by voice and visual display. Speed of the vehicle is automatically controlled using GPS information regarding the nature of curve. In case of a vehicle breakdown in the control zone, the information is sent to other vehicle for suitable action.
