Design of multifunctional autonomous car using ultrasonic and infrared sensors

Abstract

The daily routine problems that common man faces on roads while commuting are becoming a serious problem with each passing day. People get late and meet accidents. The model of autonomous car presented in this research paper aims to solve these issues by taking humans off the wheels, so that they do not have to drive anymore and the risk of accidents, getting late and traffic congestions can be reduced to a minimum. This car is able to follow the track, overtake other cars, detect obstacles, take sharp bends and turns, follow traffic signals and turn on its lights under low light conditions. Circuit diagrams for performing all these functions have been presented and the mechanical model of the car has also been shown in the paper, which is practically implemented and successfully run by the authors.
