    GPS based anti-collision system
    (University of Management and Technology, 2011) Zahid Karamat; Hassan Shabir; Usman Khan
    The GPS Based Anti-Collision System is basically a vehicle collision preventing system which could be used as Anti-Collision and navigation system in cars while traveling on motorway. Anti-Collision System fitted in the vehicle act as a watchdog in the dark as they constantly remain in lookout for other vehicle bound Anti-Collision System, within the braking distance required for the vehicle to stop. They take inputs from GPS satellite system for position updates and network among themselves for exchanging information using Radio Frequency transceiver. By getting the information through transceiver and GPS, microcontroller suggests the safety distance, and the system alarms the driver after crossing the safety distance. After alarming of the system they communicate through their radios and identify each other. If they happen to find themselves on the same track and coming closer to each other, they could be slowdown and stopped their vehicle respectively, thereby preventing dangerous head-on and rear-end collisions. The overall delay we countered in this system is 1-2 seconds which is bearable for the system.
