Partial Automation of Automobiles using Embedded Systems

Reducing the number of accidents is the need of the hour and this paper discusses the development of such a system. This system of Partial Automation of Automobiles using Embedded Systems consists of two modules master and the slave. Arduino Nano acts as a slave responsible for controlling the speed of the motor based on the command received from the master module consisting of Raspberry Pi 3b+ and all the sensors monitoring various factors such as slope, slippery road due to water, obstacles, and vibration due to potholes. Serial UART communication protocol is used for communication between Arduino Nano and Raspberry Pi 3B+. As soon as the sensor values reach an adjusted threshold value the Raspberry Pi sends a command to the Nano and Nano controls the speed of the motor using the PWM pins of the Nano and the PWM pulses are given to the L298N driver to control the speed of the motor.
