Abstract Now a days, number of road accidents is increased tremendously. The ratio of deaths will show that there are maximum deaths due to road accidents only. The main cause of this accidents is due human errors in judgment and hence thousands of lives are lost. We have to find some remedies to reduce this accidents. These accidents can be avoided if only there was a mechanism to alert the driver of approaching danger. This can be done by using our well known Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth Technology can monitor the distance between two nearby vehicles and alerting the driver whenever the distance become too short. The precise aim of this paper is to highlight such a use oh Bluetooth Technology. In this paper we state the use of Bluetooth Technology to check the speed of one vehicle whenever it comes closer to any other vehicle. Which will in turn saves many lives. This technique will make the use of the fact that at a time eight Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other. Keywords

communicate using the Bluetooth standard. With the help of this technology we can send data to the eight devices. The group of eight devices is known as piconet. Here we have a piconet and a scatternet, in the piconet M is the master and S1 to S7 are the slaves.

I. INTRODUCTION At a time eight Bluetooth Devices can communicate with each other simultaneously. This technique we can use to prevent accidents. When there are two Bluetooth devices enabled in two different vehicles, when this two vehicles come in the range of upto 100 meters, that two devices start to communicate with each other automatically. This range is depend s on the power class of the product. Power transmission rates vary in many Bluetooth devices depending on the power saving features available in a particular unit, bandwidth requirements, transmission distance. The statistics of road is tremendous and will highlight the need of such a system. The following is the road statistics on the number of road accidents occurring in each year. When two or more vehicles come within the distance of 10 km at high speed there is a possibility of having accidents. The Bluetooth radio is a short distance , low power radio operating in the unlicensed spectrum of 2.4 GHz and using a nominal antenna power of 20 dBm. At the 20 dB the range is 100 meters, meaning equipment must be within 100 meters to each other (about 328 feet) to

The fig. 1 shows us the statistic of road accidents per year per hundred people. Also table 1 will give us the figures of road accidents and number of lives lost in accidents within years 1970 to 1997.

Fig. 4 Bluetooth Device and a Car

When any car comes close together bluetooth device sends warning signal to the car. Based on the type of warning signal received the computer sends signal to the brake control system to slow down the speed of the car. There are two types of control signals. First type of signal control the speed of the car and the second type of signal is to overtake the car which is moving forward.

Fig. 3 Radio Communication

Radio communication is subjected to noise and interference, as the 2.4 GHz frequencies are shared between the all device in piconet. So the Bluetooth secification has solved this problem by employing what is called as spectrum spreading, in which the Bluetooth radio hops among different frequencies very quickly. There are 79 hops starting at 2.402 GHz and stopping at 2.480 GHz, each of which is displaced by 1 MHz. The Bluetooth avoids interference by hoping around these 79 frequencies 1600 times per second. So in order to avoid it we use bluetooth equipped car, in which each car have bluetooth transmitter and receiver. And the every car should have mini computer to monitor the relative position of the car with the other car.

Fig. 5 Brake System Component

A. AUTOMTIC BRAKE SYSTEM: The automatic brake system is the next generation braking system for controlling the speed of the car. On receiving the control signal from the traveling car the computer inside the car manipulates the signal and gives control signal to the braking system. There are four main components to an automatic braking system:

speed sensors pump valves controller

sends a warning signal to the other car and it processes the signal and gives it to the automatic braking system.

Fig 6. Automatic breaking pump and valves

The computer constantly monitors the distance between each of these cars and when it senses that the car is getting too lose it moves the hydraulic valves to increase the pressure on the braking circuit, effectively increasing the braking force on the wheels. If the distance between two vehicle is within the 100m the Bluetooth devices get enabled and if the distance come closer within 10m the automatic braking system takes the control. After the speed of the car is reduced and distance increased the hydraulic valves decreases the pressure on the braking circuit, thus effectively decrease the braking force on the wheels. The following steps show the various functions of the hydraulic valves:

III. CONCLUSIONS The Bluetooth technology is being widely adopted by the Industry leaders. The possibility for new applications is very exciting with this Versatile technology. It provides a simple, logical answer to all the Problems-which is built a single common radio into every mobile computer, then neither do companies have to worry about WAN, nor do communication companies need to worry about building external cables. The Bluetooth communication device will thus be a small, low powered radio in a chip that will talk to other Bluetooth enabled products. Bluetooth has been designed to solve a number of connectivity problems experienced by the mobile workers & consumers. Thus, this technology helps make the electronic devices more user friendly and helps address various other problems like accidents.

in position one, the valve is open; pressure from the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake. in position two, the valve blocks the line, isolating that brake from the master cylinder. This prevents the pressure from rising further should the driver push the brake pedal harder. in position three, the valve releases some of the pressure from the
