Abstract:
Tailgating poses a significant safety hazard, increasing the risk of collisions
between vehicles. This project implements an ultrasonic sensor system combined with
audio alerts and visual feedback to prevent tailgating behavior. The sensor, mounted
on the front of the vehicle, continuously detects the distance to the vehicle in front and
will display it on the LCD. When the distance falls below a predetermined threshold,
indicating tailgating, an audible alert is sounded. This approach aims to raise
awareness among tailgating drivers and encourage them to maintain a safe distance.
