Abstract
The demand for advanced features in cars is ever increasing day by day. A significant portion of people around the world own cars or are daily drivers. Among these drivers, it is not entirely untrue to assume that parallel parking or rearward parking is one of the most cumbersome parts of their driving experience. It takes years of driving experience and rigorous practice to avoid a fender bender or an ugly scratch across the bumper. Most of us like to take advantage of advanced car electronics and technologies to make our lives a little easier and to avoid common accidents during parking. Hence, we decided to design and build an ultrasonic distance-based measurement system that helps the driver sense how far their car is from a wall or an object and provides visual and audible warnings using LEDs and a speaker, respectively.
