Road Accident Prevention Unit: An prototyping approach towards mitigating an omnipresent threat

An intelligent multisensor front end based on the ARM Cortex M3. It deduces a driver's configuration, ascertains his ability to drive safely and contacts near ones with location data for urgent disaster mitigation. Prevention measures are undertaken through external display modules and provision for being vehicle-powered through external voltage regulated supplies. The proof of concept for this paper is an ALL INDIA THIRD PRIZE WINNER at the Texas Instruments Analog Design Contest 2012-13 National Finals and this paper is due for digital publication in IEEE Xplore.
