    Anti-collision mechanism in cars
    (University of Management and Technology, 2012) Awais Murtaza, Muhammad; Umer Sadique, Muhammad
    This project focuses on the implementation of an anti-collision mechanism in vehicles that is readily implementable in the current scenario. During the course of study and fabrication of a small scale prototype, various related literature and statistics were consulted to provide relevant data on which to most effectively design our anti-collision mechanism. The proposed solution was based on the braking distance of a car, which varies with speed and road conditions. After accounting for variables that affect the braking distance, a relation was derived between braking distance and the speed of the car. It was realized that if there was sufficient distance for the car to brake, no collision would occur. Hence the mechanism was based on the fact that the car must maintain a minimum braking distance at all times, otherwise it must either slow down its speed Or come to halt.
