Vehicle to Vehicle Communication Using RF and IR Technology

In the urban areas, most of the sound pollution are caused because of noisy environment which is created by industrial machineries and vehicle horn. Among all the reasons the vehicle horn is assumed most vital for making the noisy environment which has a hazardous impact on the human health. Therefore, it is become graver to need a system that is able to make the environment safe and sound. To confront this challenge, this study proposes a V2V or Vehicle to Vehicle Communication System. In this study, the V2V Communication has been accomplished using both Infrared and radio frequency communication without using horn. IR transmitter which is used to transmit the signal to front side vehicles and RF transmitter which is used to transmit the signal to both left and right side vehicles are placed in front of the driver. Moreover, IR and RF receivers are inserted behind the car to receive the corresponding transmitted signal from the other vehicles. A speaker is used to alert the driver and a LCD is used to show from where the transmitted signal has been come and the driver will decide where the car should be moved. The whole functions of the system are processed by PIC Microcontroller. The goal of this work is to mitigate the vehicle noise to some extent and to reduce unnecessary vehicle horn. This system can be used as a substitution of horn system in the populated, emergency and busy places.
