Development of a Smart Night-Time Navigation With Automatic Upper-Dipper and Signboard Detection

Night-time travelling experiences are much more hazardous as compared to that at daytime while driving around night since the incoming bright lights form vehicles in opposite lane quite often blindfolds the driver's eyes particularly when it's kept under “upper” mode. This momentary blindfoldedness may sometimes be sufficient enough to trigger series of mishappenings often accounting into a bigger accident. There are various solutions to this problem like use of night vision spectacles, anti-collision system using RADAR, Li-DER, UV, etc available in the market, but they are mostly very expensive. Likewise, the utilization of these systems shows no critical change in the proportion of mishaps. Present project aims at decreasing the amount of night accidents through use of an innovative automated “upper-dipper” system. Also, the assembling cost of this venture is less than other products which exist in the market. In addition to the above issue, during night time most of the users face difficulties seeing the signboards and following the instructions. Present work also aims to tackle this issue using smart IoT signboards with embedded RFID tags. In this framework, signboards are identified by vehicles, and automatic action takes place as per instruction which is coded inside smart signboards e.g. speed limit, no horn, and so forth. Thus, this article presents strategies utilized for safe driving at the night to diminish the proportion of on-road mishaps. This study will also help the policymakers to plan a safer framework for users.
