Smart Semi-Truck Health Monitoring & Safety System

Abstract

It's estimated that there are around 500,000 fatal accidents every year in the US. Most of these accidents are due to the lack of the sefety system that is built in the trucks. Also the driver health is important as he travels for many hours and any health issue can cause a fatal death. We are are desiging a system to enhance the saftey system in the truck and a health monitoring system to check the driver health periodically and send a report if there is any danger will affect the driver.we are implementing a blind spot system and LIDAR system to detect the obstacles and alert the driver. We also are installing a system that can detect the sudden braking of the vehicle in front of the truck and warn the driver a few seconds before the accident. We are designing a medical monitoring system inside the truck to give readings of the driver health conditions to prevent accidents as heart attacks or the driver falling in sleep.
