Brain Controlled Car for Physically Challenged using Artificial Intelligence
The document describes a proposed brain-controlled car for disabled drivers using artificial intelligence. The system would use an electroencephalogram (EEG) helmet to monitor the driver's brain waves and recognize patterns to control the car. It would integrate brain-computer interface signals with automatic security and navigation systems. The security system would ensure the driver is in a stable state before allowing automatic control of steering, acceleration, and braking. If developed affordably, this type of brain-controlled car could help the disabled gain independent transportation.

INTRODUCTION
•Brain-computer interface :Directcommunication pathway between a
human or animal brain and an external device.
• The driver (disabled) nears the car.
•The security system of the car is activated.
• Images as well as thermo graphic results of the driver are previously
fed into the database of the computer.
• If the video images match with the database entries
security system advances to the next stage.
then
the
• The EEG (electroencephalogram) helmet is lowered and suitably
placed on the driver’s head.

BIOCONTROL SYSTEM
The bio-controlsystem integrates signals from
various other systems and compares them with
originals in the database.
It comprises of the following systems:
1.Brain-computer interface
2.Automatic security system
3.Automatic navigation system
5.
BRAIN – COMPUTERINTERFACE
The Low- Frequency Asynchronous Switch
Design (LF-ASD).
The EEG signals are used to recognize the patterns of the brain
wave.
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and filtering techniques available
in Matlab are used to analyze the EEG signals.
The data can then be piped into MIDI compatible music
programs.

IMPORTANT FEATURES OFEEG BAND
•Data can be analyzed with any standard or user.
•Customized color palettes; color cycling available in 8 bit
mode with Quick Draw mode.
•User configurable.
•Full
image
capture.
•As the eyemoves, the cursor on the screen also moves and
is also brightened when the driver concentrates on one
particular point in his environment.
•The sensors, which are placed at the front and rear ends of
the car, send a live feedback of the environment to
the computer.
•The steering wheel is turned through a specific angle by
electromechanical actuators.
•The angle of turn is calibrated from the distance moved
by the dot on the screen.

AUTOMATIC SECURITY SYSTEM
TheEEG of the driver is monitored continually.
When it drops less than 4 Hz then the driver is in
an unstable state.
A message is given to the driver for confirmation
and waits for sometime, to continue the drive.
A confirmed reply activates the program for
automatic drive.

CONCLUSION
When the aboverequirements are satisfied and if this car
becomes cost effective then we shall witness a
revolutionary change in the society where the
demarcation between the abled and the disabled vanishes.
Thus the integration of bioelectronics with automotive
systems is essential to develop efficient and futuristic
vehicles, which shall be witnessed soon helping the
disabled in every manner in the field of transportation.
