CAR'S OBJECT DETECTION AND AVOIDANCE SIMULATION USING VERILOG

The advancement of automotive industry in the last century has produced
better and faster car. However, all that comes with worrying trend of increasing
accident on the road. A key challenge today is to develop electronics gadgets or
equipment that can help to reduce the statistic significantly. Advanced safety systems
that sense impending danger —such as a collision or a potential rollover —and alert
the driver can be introduced on the vehicle to achieve the target ofreducing accidents.
Multiple high-end sensors can be used to diagnose the car conditions or to detect
nearby objects and irregularities. Gn-board processing will then be performed to
determine the appropriate actions to be taken. The processor will then communicate
with one of the actuators in view of alerting the driver or avoiding the danger. This
project aims to simulate the necessary action to be taken when the car is within the
danger range. For this project, the scope of the accident causality is only focus on
crushing the object/vehicle in front and the necessary action taken are to be the driver
alert system and engaging Anti-lock Brake System (ABS).
