The main focus of Accident Prevention System is to reduce number of road accidents. The foremost scope of
the system includes regions with fog and roads with blind turns. The system fulfills its aim by calculating distance
between two nearby vehicles. For this purpose GPS, beacons, ultrasonic sensor, magnetometer and microcontroller is
used. The APS works in a peculiar radius. The GPS module finds the location which is traded with other vehicles through
beacons. A plausible threat is realized by this. Then the ultrasonic sensors are used to get better affirmation of threat.
After confirmation of threat the driver is notified about it using LEDs, buzzers and display. A small screen is installed on
which the surrounding region is exhibited. Along with this appropriate instructions are provided for better assistance.
The system starts on ignition and works in a continuous loop till ignition is on.
