ABSTRACT

Our endeavour behind this project is to analyse present day condition of Indian automobile

industry and its standard and by keeping the current information in mind introduce a concept

vehicle that can not only enhance the present standard of safety and comfort in Indian

automobiles but also tackle the nightmare of pollution and shortage of fuel as well . The

Anti–Collision device is a detection device meant to be incorporated into vehicles for the

purpose of safety. As opposed to the anti–collision devices present in the market today, this

system is not designed to control the vehicle. Instead, it serves as an alert in the face of

imminent collision. The device is made up of an infrared transmitter and receiver . The

device works by sending out streams of infrared radiation and alerts when any obstacle is

present within specific range or safe distance , to take the necessary precaution to avert a

collision. The device would still alert once by an alarm even though it is not receiving

infrared beams from the oncoming vehicle. This is due to reflection of its own infrared

beams. At the end of the design and testing process, overall system was implemented with a

constructed work, tested working and perfectly functional. The anti collision and driver

awakening system is based on INFRA RED sensors . The entire system is developed by keep

in mind of Indian automobile industry and their customers. Our endeavour behind this project

is to develop and demonstrate a state of the art project that reduces the chance of collision by

providing early warning through sensing and inbuilt circuitry.

When any vehicle comes in the periphery of improvised vehicle then the sensors senses its

position with respect to the distance and activate the ciruit and inverter circuit for awakening

of the driver . Furthermore the automatic braking makes the vehicle to stop before collision.

In case collision occurs the a piezo crystal creates waves and forwards them to cell phone

through headphones which make a call to the last dialled number in that cell phone .

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Safety is a necessary part of man’s life. Due to the accident cases reported daily on the major

roads in all parts of the developed and developing countries, more attention is needed for

research in the designing an efficient car driving aiding system. It is expected that if such a

device is designed and incorporated into our cars as a road safety device, it will reduce the

incidence of accidents on our roads and various premises, with subsequent reduction in loss

of life and property. However, a major area of concern of an engineer should be safety, as it

concerns the use of his/her inventions and the accompanying dangers due to human

limitations. When it comes to the use of a motor vehicle, accidents that have occurred over

the years tell us that something needs to be done about them from an engineering point of

view. According to the 2007 edition of the Small-M report on the road accident statistic in

Malaysia, a total of 6,035 people were killed in 2000 and the fatality spring up to 6,287 in

2006 from accident cases reported in 250,429 and 341,252 cases of accident for 2000 and

2006 respectively. The obtained results show that, high rate of accident is reported each year.

Now it is suffice to say that the implementation of certain highway safety means such as

speed restrictions, among others, has done a lot in reducing the rates of these accidents. The

issue here is that policies of safe driving alone would not eradicate this, the engineer has a

role to play, after all the main issue is an engineering product (the motor vehicle). Many

motorists have had 2 to travel through areas with little light under much fatigue, yet

compelled to undertake the journey out of necessity. It is not always irresponsible to do this.

A lot of cases reported is as a result of drivers sleeping off while driving, and when he/she

eventually woke up, a head-on collision might have taken place. Not many have had the

fortune to quickly avert this. It is therefore imperative to consider the advantages of an early

warning system where the driver is alerted of a possible collision with some considerable

amount of time before it occurs.

The idea of incorporating radar systems into vehicles to improve road traffic safety dates

back to the 1970s. Such systems are now reaching the market as recent advances in

technology have allowed the signal processing requirements and the high angular resolution

requirements from physically small antennas to be realized. Automotive radar systems have

the potential for a number of different applications including adaptive cruise control (ACC)

and anti-collision devices. The problem with this brand of cars is that they are expensive.

This becomes an even bigger challenge when you consider a developing country like India.

The Infrared Anti-Collision Device are expected to be made of relatively inexpensive

components for easy purchase and incorporation. This research aims at the design of a

prototype showing how this could function. The main objective is to find a way to implement

a minimum spacing for cars in traffic in an affordable way, alongside to achieve safety for

passengers of a moving car. The anti-collision device, when wired into the circuitry of a

vehicle would help in the reduction of road mishaps. Though not every kind of collision can

be helped by this, and it must be stated here that no allusion is being made that technology is

the best line of action to take. It should be further noted that some already existing laws made

use of technologies like the street lights and traffic lights. This would be a supplementation

and not a replacement. Now we will study the main specifications of this project .

1.1 ANTI COLLISION SYSTEM

The Anti–Collision device is a detection device meant to be incorporated into cars for the

purpose of safety. As opposed to the anti–collision devices present in the market today, this

system is not designed to control the vehicle. Instead, it serves as an alert in the face of

imminent collision. The device is intended to find a way to implement a minimum spacing

for cars in traffic in an affordable way. It would also achieve safety for the passengers of a

moving car. The device is made up of an infrared transmitter and receiver

Fig 1.: How IR sensor sense the things ? i.e. the grid formation by transmitted rays of IR sensor

Also incorporated into it is an audio visual alarm to work in with the receiver and effectively

alert the driver and/or the passengers.

The device works by sending out streams of infrared radiation and when these rays are seen

by the other equipped vehicle, both are meant to take the necessary precaution to avert a

collision. The device would still sound an alarm even though it is not receiving infrared

beams from the oncoming vehicle .

This is due to reflection of its own infrared beams. At the end of the design and testing

process, overall system was implemented with a constructed work, tested working and

perfectly functional.

This is due to reflection of its own infrared beams. At the end of the design and testing

process, overall system was implemented with a constructed work, tested working and

1.2 UNIQUE DESIGN

1.2.1 GROUND CLEARANCE

Whenever we buy cars we often discuss the fuel economy, style, features, colour, price and

all that. But unless widely publicized, people hardly care to look at the physical specs of the

car - in particular the ground clearance.

Ground clearance is a factor mostly discussed when someone is buying low level cars.

Indeed Luxury cars are known for their low stance and low ground clearance. Now, anyone

or any website will tell you that ground clearance is the "minimum distance between the

ground/road and the lowest part of the car". And then manufacturers publish the

ground clearance figures such as 160 mm or 170 mm or 180 mm.

Fig 3 : Demonstration of ground clearance of suspension car.

In our concept car the suspension of the car allow minimum of 600 mm ground clearance or

even beyond that becomes a major success factor of the model.

In the case of Indian roads the vehicles which have more than 200 mm of ground clearance is

appropriate for ride in urban as well as in rural areas. More than 60% of rural roads in India

are unpaved or what we say “ kacchi sadak ” which pose many challenges in front of low

ground clearance containing cars, take this fact into consideration the auto suspension car is

the best solution.

For armored fighting vehicles (AFV), ground clearance presents an additional factor in a

vehicle's overall performance: a lower ground clearance means that the vehicle minus

the chassis is lower to the ground and thus harder to spot and harder to hit. The final design of

any AFV reflects a compromise between being a smaller target on one hand, and having

greater battlefield mobility on the other. Very few AFVs have top speeds at which car-like

handling becomes an issue, though rollovers can and do occur. By contrast, an AFV is far

more likely to need high ground clearance than a road vehicle. Our concept car can tackle all

miss features and can produce a masterpiece in the field of AFV.

Fig 4 : An petrol based US ARMY multi taker small combat vehicle which can be applied to our chassis.

When our concept car comes to Indian roads, high ground clearance will provide desirable

efficiency and it does not take rocket science to figure that out. But what should be the ideal

ground clearance. Some people will tell you that 175 mm is the minimum that you should opt

for. But that is just half the truth. Consider this:

- The many luxury cars in India has a ground clearance of 170 mm.

- The small sedan cars also has a ground clearance of 170 mm.

- The Maruti-Suzuki Alto also has a ground clearance of 160 mm .

But the fact is that many of the cars which have this level of ground clearance proved to be

underachiever in the case of fulfilment of desired performance.

1.2.2. DIFFERENTIAL LESS WHEEL BASE

One of the most important car parts, yet very less known, is the rear differential. It plays a big

role in the functioning of the automobile. Understanding any car problem requires you to

know the working of a car and know about its basic mechanism. One of the most

fundamental function of the differential is the distribution of torque in all cars and SUVs and

due to this very function it face so many problems like Noise, Leakage of Differential

assembly oil, made you to go service centre again and again.

Fig 5 : Differencial less wheel base

So we adopt differential less rear wheel assembly by allowing suspension mounted

individual power units along with each rear wheel that make each wheel individual in

torque generation and movement.

This type of arrangement in rear wheel made this vehicle automatically effeicient as

compared to four wheel drive SUVs .

As we all know the Wheelbase, that is measured as the distance between two wheels at the

centre of each wheel. Because most of the existing cars and even SUVs have a much lesser

wheelbase as compared to our concept car, the former cars are able to coast over the high

speed breakers / rumbles with no issues but in case of multitasking vehicle these above

vehicle seems to be ineffective if compared to our concept car.

Fig 6: Demonstration of differential less wheel base concept.

The Auto suspension E- car is totally differential less that enhance its capacity to roam

around any surface and even in desert or hilly areas. Differential less wheel base is the

exclusively new concept and specially developed for combat vehicles.

1.3 ECO FRIENDLY CONCEPT

Developing electric vehicles is important in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

American vehicles are responsible for almost half of the GHGs emitted by vehicles globally,

but make up 30 percent of cars in use, according to a 2006 report by Environmental Defence.

Transportation accounts for 30 percent of U.S. GHG emissions and five percent of global

emissions, according to a 2010 report by the U.S.

According to the estimated records maintained by department of transportation, In 2006,

GHG emissions from on-road vehicles accounted for 79 percent of transportation emissions,

and 59 percent were from light-duty vehicles, which include passenger cars and pick-up

trucks. Increasing fuel economy is suggested in the report as one way to reduce GHG

emissions from transportation. Completely electric vehicles such as the Electric Car go one

step further: they eliminate the need for fossil fuels.

1.3.1 AUTOMOBILE SECTOR : TRIPLING PRODUCTION

The World’s Motor Companies are tripling production of electric vehicles in world through

2013. They will build 100,000,000 electric vehicles by 2013, 145,000 more than it currently

manufactures.

One of the electric vehicles is the folding E car concept. According to the title it is describes

as fuel-free, rechargeable multi terrain car for multipurpose use. It is an advanced power train

which deliver significant energy efficiency advantages and zero CO2 emissions without

compromising driving enjoyment. And its suite of every surface area

“Customers have come to expect fuel efficiency with every new vehicle Ford delivers today,

and now we are further differentiating our electrified vehicle line-up with something else

people truly value – choice,” said Jim Farley, Ford’s group vice president of Marketing, Sales

and Service.

Our car is based on electronic gear motors and can be operated via electrical powered engine

if developed and would be most reliable as well as zero carbon emitting.

1.4 CHESSES DESIGN:

The chasses is designed according to Indian automobile standard. The main demand occurred

from the side of rural car buyers due to worst conditions of roads their side. The Indian car

market is flourished by foreign SUVs because of this demand. Indian buyers’ needs a car that

can go anywhere and can also cat as a multi terrain car to tackle Indian customer’s demands.

That is why we introduced our concept with a chasses designed according to the needs of

Indian customer’s desire. The chasses of our car is heavy duty and can also be built by carbon

fibre when developed for industrial production.

1.4.1. THE ADVANTAGE OF CARBON FIBRE PARTS:

For more than forty years since its introduction, carbon fiber composites have remained an

elusive material in the automotive industry. Proven in jet fighters and high-end race cars for

over 20 years, there is little doubt about its ability to build lighter, more durable vehicles.

Offering a weight savings of 75 percent over steel, carbon fiber gives sports cars a real

advantage in acceleration and top speed, and enables all automobiles to achieve improved

fuel economy.

Commercialization continues to be hindered by high material and processing costs and slow

production rates. In spite of these obstacles, more than 25 series production vehicles will

feature carbon fiber composites in 2004, fueled by advances in manufacturing technology,

new material forms and steadily declining material costs. This paper presents the current state

of carbon fiber use in automobiles in Europe, North America and Japan, ranging from the

exotic “supercars” to niche producers and the major automobile manufacturers. Carbon fiber

application include body panels, structure and functional components. Advances in

processing techniques will be reviewed, with a focus on what is being done today and what

still needs to occur to economically move beyond volumes of a few thousand parts per year

and into more mainstream vehicles.

The chasses is designed according to the Indian standard as there is a demand of all terrain

heavy loading chasses that capable to deliver tasks in rural India as well.

Fig 7 : Heavy duty chesses design for rough and tough use

This is due to reflection of its own infrared beams. At the end of the design and testing

process, overall system was implemented with a constructed work, tested working and

perfectly functional.

1.5 Automatic Call Alert System

In case the accident occurs then the piezocrystal switch is activated i.e. it creates electric

waves with the help of trigger inside it . After that , the wave is passed through the

headphones connected to an Android Operating System based cell phone . There , in cell

phone , an application programme is made run which has only one specific function i.e. to

make a call on receiving signal through the headphones . Hence when here the signal through

crystal is sent to the cell phone , the cell phone makes call to the LAST DIALLED no. in

the dialled list . Hence afterwards the call alert , the position of the accidented vehicle can

easily be traced with the help of Global Positioning System i.e. GPS . An alternate for

detecting position is to trace the signals passing sent by the cell phone during call . Hence in

this way , the system here is much efficient for life saving , emergency purpose also .

CHAPTER 2

CONCEPT AND THEORY OF PROJECT

The idea of using infrared signals to establish routes in communication networks between

receivers and transmitters for the purpose of convenience, safety and guarantee of service is

not new, but the application, cost, design method and reliability of the system varies. Besides,

much were treated in papers by Zungeru et al. In their papers, the use of infrared rays was

studied and utilized to count the number of passengers in a car and also remotely control

home appliances via short message services. Generally, the anti–collision device prototype

designed here is a detection device, sensitive to solid objects in its pathway.

2.1 Theoretical Background

A basic makeup of the device is an infrared transmitter/receiver and an audio alarm ,

shocking circuit . Each was duplicated for better demonstration. The system was designed

around these below basic modules:-

(1) Transistor as a switch and as an amplifier

(2) An Infra Red obstacle detection Circuit

(3) D.C. Battery power supply.

(4) Shocking Circuit i.e. Inverter circuit

(5) Trigger based Piezocrystal Electric switch

These different modules are discussed below in detail in the subsequent sub-sections.

2.1.1 TRANSISTOR AS A SWITCH AND AS AN AMPLIFIER

Hence here we can see that how a transistor acts as a switch and as an amplifier .

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals

and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals

for connection to an external circuit.

Fig 8 : transistor symbol drawn in University of Aveiro

A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current

through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than

the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal.

2.1.1.1. TRANSISTOR AS A SWITCH

Transistors are commonly used as electronic switches, both for high-power applications such

as switched-mode power supplies and for low-power applications such as logic gates.

In a grounded-emitter transistor circuit, such as the light-switch circuit shown, as the base

voltage rises, the emitter and collector currents rise exponentially. The collector voltage drops

because of reduced resistance from collector to emitter. If the voltage difference between the

collector and emitter were zero (or near zero), the collector current would be limited only by

the load resistance (light bulb) and the supply voltage. This is called saturation because

current is flowing from collector to emitter freely. When saturated, the switch is said to be on.

Fig 9 : Transistor as a switch in grounded emitter configuration

Providing sufficient base drive current is a key problem in the use of bipolar transistors as

switches. The transistor provides current gain, allowing a relatively large current in the

collector to be switched by a much smaller current into the base terminal. The ratio of these

currents varies depending on the type of transistor, and even for a particular type, varies

depending on the collector current. In the example light-switch circuit shown, the resistor is

chosen to provide enough base current to ensure the transistor will be saturated.

In any switching circuit, values of input voltage would be chosen such that the output is

either completely off, or completely on. The transistor is acting as a switch, and this type of

operation is common in digital circuits where only "on" and "off" values are relevant.

2.1.1.2. TRANSISTOR AS AN AMPLIFIER

The common-emitter amplifier is designed so that a small change in voltage (Vin) changes the

small current through the base of the transistor; the transistor's current amplification

combined with the properties of the circuit mean that small swings in Vin produce large

changes in Vout.

Fig10 : Transistor as an amplifier in common emitter configuration

Various configurations of single transistor amplifier are possible, with some providing

current gain, some voltage gain, and some both.

From mobile phones to televisions, vast numbers of products include amplifiers for sound

reproduction, radio transmission, and signal processing. The first discrete-transistor audio

amplifiers barely supplied a few hundred milliwatts, but power and audio fidelity gradually

increased as better transistors became available and amplifier architecture evolved.

Modern transistor audio amplifiers of up to a few hundred watts are common and relatively

inexpensive.

2.1.2 INFRA RED OBSTACLE DETECTION CIRCUIT

In the system we are using 5mm IR SENSORS as a early warning system that also made it

economic in design and simple in implementation. Infrared radiation is the portion of

electromagnetic spectrum having wavelengths longer than visible light wavelengths, but

smaller than microwaves, i.e., the region 

Fig11 . An IR sensor

roughly from 0.75µm to 1000 µm is the infrared region. Infrared waves are invisible to

human eyes. The wavelength region of 0.75µm to 3 µm is called near infrared, the region

from 3 µm to 6 µm is called mid infrared and the region higher than 6 µm is called far

infrared. (The demarcations are not rigid; regions are defined differently by many). 

Fig 12 : Detailed diagram showing wavelengths and frequencies of all type of waves

There are different types of IR sensors working in various regions of the IR spectrum but the

physics behind "IR sensors" is governed by three laws:

2.1.2.1. PLANCK’S RADIATION LAW

Every object at a temperature T not equal to 0 K emits radiation. Infrared radiant energy is

determined by the temperature and surface condition of an object. Human eyes cannot detect

differences in infrared energy because they are primarily sensitive to visible light energy

from 400 to 700 nm. Our eyes are not sensitive to the infrared energy.

2.1.2.2. STEPHAN BOLTZMANN LAW

The total energy emitted at all wavelengths by a black body is related to the absolute

temperature as

Equation 1. Abovw here the equation showing relation between total energy emitted and absolute temp.

2.1.2.3. WEIN’S DISPLACEMENT LAW

Wein’s Law tells that objects of different temperature emit spectra that peak at different

wavelengths. It provides the wavelength for maximum spectral radiant emittance for a given

temperature.

The relationship between the true temperature of the black body and its peak spectral exitance

or dominant wavelength is described by this law :-

Equation 2 : Relationship between true temperature and speak spectral wavelength

The world is not full of black bodies; rather it comprises of selectively radiating bodies like

rocks, water, etc. and the relationship between the two is given by emissivity (E).

Equation 3 : Emmessivity of any object

Emissivity depends on object color, surface roughness, moisture content, degree of

compaction , field of view, viewing angle & wavelength.

2.1.3 D.C. BATTERY POWER SUPPLY

An AC powered unregulated power supply usually uses a transformer to convert the voltage

from the wall outlet (mains) to a different, nowadays usually lower, voltage. If it is used to

produce DC, a rectifier is used to convert alternating voltage to a pulsating direct voltage,

followed by a filter, comprising one or more capacitors, resistors, and sometimes inductors,

to filter out (smooth) most of the pulsation. A small remaining unwanted alternating voltage

component at mains or twice mains power frequency (depending upon whether half- or full-

wave rectification is used)—ripple—is unavoidably superimposed on the direct output

voltage.

Fig 13 : A Linera D.C. power supply

For purposes such as charging batteries the ripple is not a problem, and the simplest

unregulated mains-powered DC power supply circuit consists of a transformer driving a

single diode in series with a resistor.

Before the introduction of solid-state electronics, equipment used valves (vacuum tubes)

which required high voltages; power supplies used step-up transformers, rectifiers, and filters

to generate one or more direct voltages of some hundreds of volts, and a low alternating

voltage for filaments. Only the most advanced equipment used expensive and bulky regulated

power supplies.

2.1.4. SHOCKING CIRUIT OR INVERTER CIRCUIT

The inverter circuit which act as a current inducer is explained in detail as follows . A power

inverter, or inverter, is an electrical power converter that changes direct current (DC)

to alternating current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency

with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits.

Solid-state inverters have no moving parts and are used in a wide range of applications, from

small switching power supplies in computers, to large electric utility high-voltage direct

current applications that transport bulk power. Inverters are commonly used to supply AC

power from DC sources such as solar panels or batteries.

The inverter performs the opposite function of a rectifier. The electrical inverter is a high-

power electronic oscillator. It is so named because early mechanical AC to DC

converters were made to work in reverse, and thus were "inverted", to convert DC to AC

Fig 14 : Circuit diagram for Shocking circuit

2.1.4.1. BASIC DESIGNS

In one simple inverter circuit, DC power is connected to a transformer through the centre tap

of the primary winding. A switch is rapidly switched back and forth to allow current to flow

back to the DC source following two alternate paths through one end of the primary winding

and then the other. The alternation of the direction of current in the primary winding of the

transformer produces alternating current (AC) in the secondary circuit.

The electromechanical version of the switching device includes two stationary contacts and a

spring supported moving contact. The spring holds the movable contact against one of the

stationary contacts and an electromagnet pulls the movable contact to the opposite stationary

contact. The current in the electromagnet is interrupted by the action of the switch so that the

switch continually switches rapidly back and forth. This type of electromechanical inverter

switch, called a vibrator or buzzer, was once used in vacuum tube automobile radios. A

similar mechanism has been used in door bells, buzzers and tattoo guns.

As they became available with adequate power ratings, transistors and various other types

of semiconductor switches have been incorporated into inverter circuit designs. Certain

ratings, especially for large systems (many kilowatts) use thyristors (SCR). SCRs provide

large power handling capability in a semiconductor device, and can readily be controlled over

a variable firing range.

2.1.4.2. OUTPUT WAVEFORMS

The switch in the simple inverter described above, when not coupled to an output

transformer, produces a square voltage waveform due to its simple off and on nature as

opposed to the sinusoidal waveform that is the usual waveform of an AC power supply.

Using Fourier analysis,periodic waveforms are represented as the sum of an infinite series of

sine waves. The sine wave that has the same frequency as the original waveform is called the

fundamental component. The other sine waves, called harmonics, that are included in the

series have frequencies that are integral multiples of the fundamental frequency.

The quality of the inverter output waveform can be expressed by using the Fourier analysis

data to calculate the total harmonic distortion (THD). The total harmonic distortion (THD) is

the square root of the sum of the squares of the harmonic voltages divided by the fundamental

voltage:

Equation 4 : Total dynamic harmotion

The quality of output waveform that is needed from an inverter depends on the characteristics

of the connected load. Some loads need a nearly perfect sine wave voltage supply to work

properly. Other loads may work quite well with a square wave voltage.

2.1.4.3. ADVANCED DESIGNS

H bridge inverter circuit with transistor switches and antiparallel diodes

There are many different power circuit topologies and control strategies used in inverter

designs. Different design approaches address various issues that may be more or less

important depending on the way that the inverter is intended to be used.

The issue of waveform quality can be addressed in many ways. Capacitors and inductors can

be used to filter the waveform. If the design includes a transformer, filtering can be applied to

the primary or the secondary side of the transformer or to both sides. Low-pass filters are

applied to allow the fundamental component of the waveform to pass to the output while

limiting the passage of the harmonic components. If the inverter is designed to provide power

at a fixed frequency, a resonant filter can be used. For an adjustable frequency inverter, the

filter must be tuned to a frequency that is above the maximum fundamental frequency.

Since most loads contain inductance, feedback rectifiers or antiparallel diodes are often

connected across each semiconductor switch to provide a path for the peak inductive load

current when the switch is turned off. The antiparallel diodes are somewhat similar to

the freewheeling diodes used in AC/DC converter circuits.

Fourier analysis reveals that a waveform, like a square wave, that is anti-symmetrical about

the 180 degree point contains only odd harmonics, the 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc. Waveforms that have

steps of certain widths and heights can attenuate certain lower harmonics at the expense of

amplifying higher harmonics. For example, by inserting a zero-voltage step between the

positive and negative sections of the square-wave, all of the harmonics that are divisible by

three (3rd and 9th, etc.) can be eliminated. That leaves only the 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th etc. The

required width of the steps is one third of the period for each of the positive and negative

steps and one sixth of the period for each of the zero-voltage steps.

Changing the square wave as described above is an example of pulse-width

modulation (PWM).. When voltage control is not required, a fixed pulse width can be

selected to reduce or eliminate selected harmonics. Harmonic elimination techniques are

generally applied to the lowest harmonics because filtering is much more practical at high

frequencies, where the filter components can be much smaller and less expensive. 

Multilevel inverters provide another approach to harmonic cancellation. Multilevel inverters

provide an output waveform that exhibits multiple steps at several voltage levels. For

example, it is possible to produce a more sinusoidal wave by having split-rail direct

current inputs at two voltages, or positive and negative inputs with a central ground. By

connecting the inverter output terminals in sequence between the positive rail and ground, the

positive rail and the negative rail, the ground rail and the negative rail, then both to the

ground rail, a stepped waveform is generated at the inverter output. This is an example of a

three level inverter: the two voltages and ground.

2.1.5. TRIGGER BASED PIEZOCRYSTAL ELECTRIC SWITCH

A Piezo switch is a solid-state switching technology based on the functional

principle of the piezoelectric crystal that utilizes the direct piezoelectric effect.

Piezo switch elements typically have a piezoelectric component physically mounted

on the back of a thin metal surface, the size of which is based on desired force

requirements of the user. The characteristics behind this component are such that

when an action force is applied to the piezoelectric element there is a small

displacement and subsequent strain on the dielectric material. This strain causes a

build up of an electric field that causes a voltage to be induced due to a charge

transfer. The voltage generated is converted by the electronic connection into a

polarity-neutral, electronic switch contact.

One of the main advantages of the Piezo switch is that there are no moving parts

such as contacts, springs or actuator systems, resulting in fewer failures, reduced

wear, and extending the life cycle. The flat actuation surface is completely sealed,

preventing the intrusion of liquids or other contaminants.

CHAPTER 3

PROJECT WORK DETAILS : IR BASED VEHICLE WITH ABS AND DRIVER

AWAKENING SYSTEM

Here in this project basically as we have declared that our main motive is to protect the driver

and the vehicle from collision and to alert him before the collision occurs . Hence for

fulfilling all these requirements a combination on circuits is used so that all the required

objectives could be completed . Hence below is the list of circuits used in our project :

1. IR detection system/circuit

2. Shocking Circuit and Alarm Alert system

3. Main and Secondary power supply

4. Joystick for controlling the vehicle

5. Piezocrystal Circuit For Automatic Call Alert

3.1 INFRARED DETECTION SYSTEM

Here we can see that whenever any obstacle comes ahead of the IR sensors then the IR

circuit is activated and hence the further actions are performed . Here in below diagrams we

will see the components of the IR circuit .We have mounted following components in this

circuit

- Transmitter and Receiver IR sensors

- LED and secondary power supply (for whole of the ckt. )

- Two 22 ohm and two 1 kilo ohm resistors

- Two BC548 n-p-n transistors

- Relay

Here as we can see that the figure consists of two sensors i.e. one is of white colour and other

is of black colour . The sensor looking white , in left hand side is transmitter . The other one ,

of black colour , is the receiver for the I.R. circuit .

Fig 15 : White colour is for transmitter and Black for

receiver

There are two main situations i.e. in one there is no any obstacle and in other one , there is

an obstacle . Hence both are depicted below :-

(i)When any obstacle is NOT present , then in this case LED is lightened and it indicates that

the way is clear , no obstacle present .

Fig 16 : LED is on i.e. no any obstacle is present .

(ii) When an obstacle is present in the way of vehicle then in this case the Receiver receives

the signal and sends it to the circuit mounted on vehicle , which makes the LED OFF on the

detection of the obstacle which can be seen below as :-

Fig 17 : LED is OFF i.e the obstacle is present before the vehicle or sensor , can say.

3.1.1. Block Diagram of IR circuit

A typical system for detecting infrared radiation is given in the following block diagram :

3.1.1.1 INFRARED SOURCE

All objects above 0 K radiate infrared energy and hence are infrared sources. Infrared sources

also include blackbody radiators, tungsten lamps, silicon carbide, and various others. For

active IR sensors, infrared Lasers and LEDs of specific IR wavelengths are used as IR

sources.

3.1.1.2 TRANSMISSION MEDIUM

Three main types of transmission medium used for Infrared transmission are vacuum, the

atmosphere, and optical fibers. The transmission of IR – radiation is affected by presence of

CO2, water vapour and other elements in the atmosphere. Due to absorption by molecules of

water carbon dioxide, ozone, etc. the atmosphere highly attenuates most IR wavelengths

leaving some important IR windows in the electromagnetic spectrum; these are primarily

utilized by thermal imaging/ remote sensing applications.

•           Medium wave IR (MWIR:3-5 µm)

•           Long wave IR (LWIR:8-14 µm)

Choice of IR band or a specific wavelength is dictated by the technical requirements of a

specific application.

3.1.1.3 OPTICAL COMPONENTS

Often optical components are required to converge or focus infrared radiations, to limit

spectral response, etc. To converge/focus radiations, optical lenses made of quartz, CaF2, Ge

and Si, polyethylene Fresnel lenses, and mirrors made of Al, Au or a similar material are

used. For limiting spectral responses, band pass filters are used. Choppers are used to pass/

interrupt the IR beams.

 3.1.1.4 INFRARED DETECTORS

Various types of detectors are used in IR sensors. Important specifications of detectors are

• Photosensitivity or Responsivity

Responsivity is the Output Voltage/Current per watt of incident energy. Higher the better.

• Noise Equivalent Power (NEP)

NEP represents detection ability of a detector and is the amount of incident light equal to

intrinsic noise level of a detector.

• Detectivity(D*: D-star)

D* is the photosensitivity per unit area of a detector. It is a measure of S/N ratio of a detector.

D* is inversely proportional to NEP. Larger D* indicates better sensing element.

In addition, wavelength region or temperature to be measured, response time, cooling

mechanism, active area, no of elements, package, linearity, stability, temperature

characteristics, etc. are important parameters which need attention while selecting IR

detectors. 

3.1.1.5  SIGNAL PROCESSING

Since detector outputs are typically very small, preamplifiers with associated circuitry are

used to further process the received signals. We used these sensors as a detector which

provides early detection .

3.2 SHOCKING CIRCUIT AND ALARM ALERT SYSTEM

Shocking system or circuit in this vehicle is initiated whenever it gets a positive signal from

the IR circuit i.e. the IR circuit on receiving the signal from the receiver processes it with the

help of transistors and the signal coming outside activates the relay and then relay works as a

switch and activates the invertor circuit . shocking circuit . For providing a shock to the driver

to awaken him is based upon a high watt inverter circuit that provide ten time enhanced

current as compared to the input provides to it. In our project we are providing 40 watt

current wave that specifically awaken the driver when it is on the confluence of neap. This is

a simple 120 V 24 V , centre - tapped (CT) control transformer and four additional

components can do the operation. This circuit outputs a clean about 120 volt - 200 volt at 60

Hz and can supply up to 20 Watt. The circuit is self starting andfree running. See this

simple inverter circuit below :

Transistor Q1 and Q2 use 2N5877 or similarity .If Q1 is faster and higher gain than Q2 , it

will turn on first when aplly the input power and will hold Q2. Load current and the

transformer magnetizing current the flows in the upper half of primary coil, and auto

transformer supplies the base drive (two transistor) until the transformer saturates. The

transformer can use the 3A CT transformer an use the secondary coil for input and primary

coil use to output, And input use the 12 volt secondary coil. Use 12 battery to power input ,

such as 12 V accurate.

In this circuit we have mounted :

- Electrolytic Capacitor

- Primary MOSFET

- Secondary MOSFET

- Ceramic Capacitor

- Heat Sink Coil

- Step Up transformer

- IN4007 Diode

- 33 ohm Resistance

- Shocking current wires mounted on the steering

It all can be seen with the help of below diagrams :

Fig 18 : Inverter or shocking circuit

The other alarm alert circuit consists of

- An alarm

- A relay

The diagram for above ckt.is as :

Fig 19 : Alarm alert Circuit

3.3 MAIN AND SECONDARY POWER SUPPLY

Main power supply is for complete circuit and the secondary power supply is only for the Led and Ir ciruit activation . Specification of both the supplies are –

- Main power supply – 2 Batteries i.e. 8 V and 1.5 ampere

Fig 20 : Main Power Supply Batteries

- Secondary Power Supply – 9V battery

Fig : 21 Secondary Power Supply

3.4 JOYSTICK FOR CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE

vehicle .

Fig 23 : Joysticko working i.e. pairs of tyres , the tyres in right hand side and in left hand side are controlled by the joystick’s two

sticks .

3.5 PIEZOCRYSTAL CIRCUIT FOR AUTOMATIC CALL

ALERT

- A Piezocrystal switch

- A headphone connected to the switch

- An Android operating system based cell phone equipped with an special headphone

button controller application

This all is depicted in the below diagram :

Fig 24 : piezocrystal switch and headphones

CHAPTER 4

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

4.1 SYSTEM TESTING, RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

Tests were carried out on the prototype device to see its effectiveness as to what degree it

meets its expected performance. The construction of the system is in 2 stages, the soldering

of the components and the coupling of the entire system to the casing. The outlet was wires

intended to be connected to sensors mounted on each car, though a prototype of it was used

instead. The power supply stage was first soldered, and then the transmitter and receiver stage

and all the other stages were soldered. The circuit was soldered in a number of patterns that

is, stage by stage. Each stage was tested using the multi-meter to make sure it is working

properly before the next stage is done. This helps to detect mistakes and faults easily. The

soldering of the circuit was done on a 10cm by 24cm Vero-board. The second stage of the

system construction is the casing of the soldered circuit. This system was cased in a

transparent plastic glass, this makes the system look attractive, and it helps in marketing the

system because the circuit has to be attractive before someone would want to know what it

does. The casing has special perforation and vent to ensure the system is not overheating, and

this will aid in the life span of the circuit.

At first both devices are made to face each other to see if they would respond to the

closeness. Then the distance between them was further increased to see the minimum within

which it would still be effective as an anti–collision device. The physical realization of the

system is very vital. After carrying out all the paper design and analysis, the system was

implemented and tested to ensure its working ability, and was finally constructed to meet

desired specifications. The process of testing and implementation involved the use of some

equipment such as digital Multi meter, signal generators and Oscilloscope and finally the

physical testing for the device facing themselves to the transmitting and receiving ability.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

The hybrid car concept designed and developed by us is a state of the art concept and behind

this our endeavour is to project a fully indigenous hybrid car concept in Indian car market so

that the entire India in general and economic and rural community in India in particular can

be benefited.

This concept is a single lined solutions of so many existing socio economic problems like

pollution, energy shortage and parking shortage. The concepts which are presented in this car

like wind energy device, solar energy device, active suspension device and folding car

concept are made this car concept unique and also sate of the art in particular.

The system which is the design and construction of an anti-collision system for vehicles was

designed considering some factors such as economy, availability of components and research

materials, efficiency, compatibility, portability and also durability. The performance of the

system after test met design specifications. The general operation of the system and

performance is dependent on the presence of two moving cars as they get closer to each

other.

However, it should be stated here that the system was aimed at fabricating prototype, a

replica of the actual thing. It is economically viable to undertake certain system this way

since testing would not cost so much. Any desire to implement this design into a vehicle

would require a laser detector. The problem of power supply would not arise due to the

amount of battery power from the car battery. Also the operation of the system is dependent

on how well the soldering is done, and the positioning of the components on the Vero board.

The IC’s were soldered away from the power supply stage to prevent heat radiation which,

might occur and affect the performance of the entire system.

The construction was done in such a way that it makes maintenance and repairs an easy task

and affordable for the user should there be any system breakdown. All components were

soldered on one Vero-board which makes troubleshooting easier. In general, the system was

designed, and the real time implementation done with a photo-type of the model.
