I. Introduction

The project aims provide driver assistance to the car

using Raspberry Pi as a processing chip. An HD
camera along with an infrared sensor is used to
provide necessary data from the real world to the
car. The car is capable to identify objects and
prevent itself from collision. Many algorithms like
face detection, obstacle detection are combined
together to provide the necessary control to the car.
Basic architecture of robot is as follows –
Raspberry pi is main processing unit. A base
structure with two wheels mounted with motors are
assisted by battery. Due to incompatibility there is
need of amplification. This is done with the help of
motor driver IC . this IC is capable to drive higher
volts motors using lower power supply. Along with
this a camera and a IR sensors are mounted on the
robot. Camera plays an important role by
continuously providing live video stream from real
world. Infrared Sensors assist the robot to stop from
collision as an when obstacle is detected. Power to
raspberry pi can be given from any power source.
Object Detection
This project uses a trained model with certain
number of images. Model can identify human face at
greater precision. On identification of face a
rectangular box is plotted on image frame.
Continues real world video is captured using camera
and provided as input to face detection module.
Once face is detected , rectangle gets plot and based
on this further signal are provided to motors
System consist of the 2 Infrared sensor it is used for
detecting the obstacles in front & rear direction with
distance in meter in range. camera used for taking
the front video. with it having Raspbian Linux
operating system with having Linux kernel.
Finally it conclude that it is very difficult to avoid
accidents but some how that accident ratio or
percentage can be reduced to some less number by
using these type of new technologies, by using this
method accurate test results will get and driver get
some alert while driving regarding rear end collision
as well as drowsiness.
The distance measurement accuracy using
monocular vision approach could be influenced by
the following factors: (1) errors in actual values
measurement, (2) object bounding box variations in
detecting process, (3) errors in camera calibration
process, (4) nonlinear relationship between distance
and camera coordinate: the further the distance, the
more rapid change of camera coordinate, thus the
greater the error.The work could be enhanced by
improving the algorithm by adding machine learning
to it. The present algorithm performs the operations
on all the frames. It is accurate but its efficiency
could be further enhanced if it starts learning by
itself and avoid unnecessary calculations of the
regions which are already known or familiar.
III. Conclusion
The objective of the Driver Assistance Car using
Raspberry pi project is to Develop a hardware
device integrated with sensor, motors and camera
which will be the guide for drivers in case the user
demands help or driver malfunctions. Some
modifications and improvements can be done in
order to satisfy the meet of adapting the changing
requirements and specifications.
Often on the highway when an accident occurs it
results in multiple collisions of the cars. The Driver
Assistance car can help you avoid human death ratio
and car collision ratio.
