DESIGN OF AUTOMATIC COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BY USING ULTRASONIC FOR FISHING VESSEL

Abstract

An obstacle detection is the most useful and inspiring task in actual time scenario. Improvement of evolving embedded technologies in automotive field, the life of people becomes more comfortable and provides safety against accidents. Nowadays, most vessel are equipped with safety system to warns the pilot or driver to be more alert in avoiding accidents from occur. In this proposed work, a collision avoidance system for marine vessel is introduced which detects the presence or incoming obstacle from three directions, bow, port, and starboard and alert the driver accordingly. This prototype of the system uses an ultrasonic sensor for the detection of the range of incoming obstacle.
