Design And Implementation Of Accident Protection Technology Of Launch

Abstract

Bangladesh is a riverine country and Inland water transport plays a vital role in the national life. In places inaccessible by land transport like roads and railways, water transport acts as a gateway to communication with the rest of the country. Every year thousands of people die in the waterway accidents. The major focus of this project is to build a prototype system which can prevent accidents for overcrowded, overloaded, underwater obstacle and forward collision problems in waterways. Here ultrasonic sensor is used to prevent forward collisions. Load cell has been added which will provide overload Protection. Obstacle sensors have also been installed for man counting purpose, so that no extra man can travel in the system beyond systems capacity. Another assistive feature here added that is a waterproof ultrasonic sensor has been added. With this feature the system can detect obstacles under the water too.
