ABSTRACT


One of the famous quotation goes like this “Safety is a cheap and effective insurance policy”.
Safety in automotives is one of the important considerations under limelight. So many efforts are also taken in this regard. Dozens of processors control every performance aspect of today’s automobiles. While most currently available safety features utilize a wide array of sensors—principally involving microwaves, infrared light, lasers, accelerometers, or position detection—for safety applications such as front and rear warning, lane detection warning, automatic emergency breaking etc.

In this paper a novel attempt has been taken to revolutionize the safety in automotive systems with the help of image processing, which aids the driver in efficient driving.

The safety feature considered is x. A high speed camera scans the image of the road scene ahead at regular instants. These images are moved to memory for further processing. Later these images go through EDGE DETECTION TECHNIQUES. This edge detection technique consists of our new algorithm which detects the lanes on the road. Then after using HOUGH TRANSFORM these lines are detected and compared with the current car position. This helps the system in placing a constant vigil on the car over its position in the lane. This concept also aids in future revolution of automatic driving in highways. Moreover the use of high speed processors like Blackfinn processors makes it very simple to implement this system in real time.

oyota, which has recalled more than 10 million vehicles globally, is trying to restore public confidence in its brand after a series of safety scares over its cars.

The latest problem with what Toyota calls the models’ engine control module may result in a crack in solder points or on some electronic componentry.

If a crack appears, the engine may not start or, “in limited instances, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven”, the carmaker says.

“This recall is an example of our commitment to standing by our products and being responsive to our customers,” says Steve St Angelo, Toyota’s chief quality officer for North America. “Our goal is to help ensure that Toyota drivers are completely confident in the safety and reliability of their vehicles.”

In July, Toyota began rolling out its “Your Toyota is My Toyota” advertising campaign, which features real employees championing the marque following its global recall crisis.

The campaign includes a TV ad and full-page press ads fronted by staff from Toyota Manufacturing UK, promising to “pick up imperfections that are smaller than a human hair.”
