2. INTRODUCTION
• A BLIND SPOT IN A VEHICLE IS AN AREA
AROUND THE VEHICLE THAT CANNOT
BE DIRECTLY OBSERVED BY THE
DRIVER WHILE AT THE CONTROLS,
UNDER EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES.
• BLIND SPOTS EXIST IN A WIDE RANGE
OF VEHICLES: CARS, TRUCKS,
MOTORBOATS, SAILBOATS. AND
AIRCRAFT.
• BLIND SPOTS CAN BE CAUSED BY THE
WINDOW PILLARS, HEADRESTS,
PASSENGERS, AND OTHER OBJECTS.

3. CONSEQUENCES OF BLIND SPOT
• VEHICULAR BLIND SPOT EXISTS IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DRIVER’S
PERIPHERAL VISION AND THE AREA REFLECTED BY THE REAR-VIEW
MIRRORS.
• THIS TYPE OF BLIND SPOT CAN SWALLOW UP ENTIRE VEHICLES, WHICH IS
WHY IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO CHANGE LANES WITHOUT LOOKING TO THE
LEFT OR RIGHT.

5. HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY HELP REMOVE BLIND SPOTS?
• MIRRORS CAN HELP REMOVE
BLIND SPOTS BEHIND A DRIVER,
BUT THEY TYPICALLY LEAVE
LARGE DEAD AREAS TO BOTH
SIDES OF A VEHICLE.
• THE ADDITION OF A CONVEX
BLIND SPOT MIRROR CAN ALLOW
A DRIVER TO SEE OBJECTS THAT
FALL INTO THAT TYPE OF BLIND
SPOT, BUT THOSE IMAGES ARE
DISTORTED AND CAN MAKE IT
DIFFICULT TO JUDGE DISTANCES.
• IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL TO EVEN
INSTALL A BLIND SPOT MIRROR IN
SOME JURISDICTIONS.

6. BLIND SPOT DETECTION
• BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEMS WARN A DRIVER THAT A VEHICLE IS IN
HIS OR HER BLIND SPOT –AREAS TO THE SIDE AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE
OUTSIDE THE DRIVER’S VIEW.
• SO THAT ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED
• AND DUE TO IT CHANGING OF LANE WILL BE EASIER AND SAFETLY.
• SENSORS (CAMERA, ULTRASONIC, OR RADAR) MONITOR THE SIDES AND
REAR OF THE VEHICLE FOR VEHICLES (INCLUDING MOTORCYCLES)
APPROACHING FROM BEHIND AND ALERT THE DRIVER WITH LIGHTS
MOUNTED IN EITHER THE SIDE-VIEW OR REAR-VIEW MIRRORS, OR THE
DOOR.

8. WORKING OF SENSORS
• THESE SENSORS CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR THE VELOCITY AND DIRECTION
OF THE VEHICLE TO OBTAIN A DIGITAL PICTURE OF THE VEHICLE'S
ENVIRONMENT. THE WARNING INDICATOR IS SWITCHED ON WHEN THE
VEHICLE APPROACHES THE BLIND SPOT. THE SYSTEM ALSO EMITS AN
AUDIO ALARM TO GIVE AN ADDITIONAL WARNING.

9. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
• THESE SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED TO AID IN THE DRIVING TASK. THEY ARE
NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER’S ATTENTION AND JUDGEMENT.
• DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE SYSTEM. ALWAYS BE VIGILANT WHEN
DRIVING.
• DRIVERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL TO BECOME
FAMILIAR WITH THE SYSTEM AND THE CONDITIONS WHEN SYSTEM
OPERATION IS DIFFERENT OR IS NOT GUARANTEED.

10. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
• THE BLIND-SPOT DETECTION DEVICE DEVELOPED BY ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, EMPLOYS A PATENTED
PASSIVE INFRARED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN SENSE THERMAL
ENERGY RELEASED FROM THE TIRES OF THE VEHICLE WHILE MOVING.
• THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE IS USED FOR TURNING ON THE RED LIGHT
TO WARN THE DRIVER. MOST OF THE AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS
CONSIDER EMPLOYING RADAR-BASED SENSORS AS THESE RADARS COVER
A WIDE AREA FROM THE VEHICLE'S SIDE TO THE REAR AND HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO DIFFERENTIATE MOBILE AND STATIONARY OBJECTS

11. CONCLUSION
• BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM IS THE TECHNOLOGY TO AVOID THE
ACCIDENT AND SAVE LIFE OF LIVING BEING WHICH IS PROVIDED IN NEW
GENERATION VEHICLES. AS THE HUMAN LIFE IS THE KEY PRIORITY OF ANY
COUNTRY SO THIS TECHNOLOGY IN VEHICLE IS BECOME HARD NEED.
