Introduction

Road safety has become a major area of innovation with rising levels of vehicle collision and human error. In this project, the design of a smart pneumatic bumper car using an Arduino microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, and air-powered actuator is explained to minimize the impacts of collision. The system has two phases: preventive control and emergency response. In the preventive phase, the ultrasonic sensor continues to monitor the distance between the vehicle and the approaching obstacle. When the object is at a threshold of safety, the Arduino slows down the vehicle to avoid danger. In the emergency phase, when the time to collision is growing increasingly short—implying the accident is imminent—the system activates a pneumatic bumper system. Compressed air is released through a solenoid valve, which rapidly deploys the bumper to absorb impact and minimize damage. This prototype demonstrates a cost-effective and efficient way of implementing active collision avoidance and passive impact absorption systems in vehicles. It combines embedded electronics, pneumatic control, and sensor-based automation to enhance vehicle safety and reduce front-end impact effect.

🎯 Objectives:

1. To design a working prototype of a pneumatic bumper car that can detect obstacles in real-time.

2. To integrate an ultrasonic sensor with Arduino for dynamic collision detection.

3. To implement automatic speed reduction when an object is within a caution range.

4. To activate a pneumatic bumper system when collision is unavoidable (very short distance/time).

5. To demonstrate a cost-effective and scalable model for intelligent accident prevention systems.
