Development of system to control speed and door unlocking of vehicle in fire hazard Hardik D. Marathe Prof. Dr. Matsagar Vilas Karbhari, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, K. K. Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research, Nashik, Maharashtra, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------1.2 Problem Statement Abstract - The safety of driver and passenger is very important in a vehicle. more than 2,000 vehicles are damaged by fires every day, On a global scale. Main factor is the lack of fire safety system in automobiles. Due to unexpected fire driver and passenger get panic and they unable to rescue their self. If fire burn electronic and electrical system of door, then driver and passenger unable to unlock the door and driver loose control over the car that causes major injury to driver and passenger. So, we have designed the vehicle control system in case of fire hazard to turn on buzzer, control the speed of vehicle and unlock the doors to escape the driver and passenger. The project aim is to control the vehicle for saving the life or avoid major injury of driver and passenger by using various fire/smoke sensors at high-risk zone and by designing secondary control system for door lock and car speed. Developed system result in safety of driver and passenger.
The safety of vehicle occupants is paramount, as over 2,000 vehicles are damaged by fires globally each day due to the lack of adequate fire safety systems. Fires can lead to panic and immobilize occupants, particularly if electronic systems fail, posing grave risks. Incidents like a bus accident in Nashik and a taxi fire in Ghana underscore the urgency of addressing this issue. Prompt response is crucial, as fire incidents on moving vehicles can escalate rapidly, especially at night or in remote areas. Implementing early fire detection systems alongside fire extinguishers can mitigate risks and aid emergency responders, ensuring timely assistance to passengers and protection of property.
1.3 Objective
Key Words: Fire sensor, Smoke sensor, Door lock
The main objective of the project is to develop a fire detection technique in real time. The main points of the project objectives are given below: • To reduce the panic attacks of driver and passengers. • To detect fire while they are still small and have not grown too large. • To develop a low-cost fire detection system in real time. • To develop a system that detects fire earlier than conventional fire detectors and more accurate. • To reduce the panic attacks of driver and passengers. • To make safer vehicle. • To unlock doors of vehicle faster in case of fire hazard. • To reduce speed of vehicle in case of fire hazard. • To offer security to people inside the vehicle.
1.INTRODUCTION The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) in recent years has highlighted safety concerns, with EV fires becoming a significant issue. Charging safety is crucial due to potential hazards like overloads and poor heat dissipation. These safety challenges pose obstacles to the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles. Recognizing the importance of standards and testing facilities, the Government of India established the Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) to develop and approve safety standards for vehicles. Additionally, international efforts, such as the FFI-program in Sweden, aim to enhance fire detection systems in heavy vehicles to mitigate fire risks in engine compartments.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
1.1 Background
Fire detection systems employ various types of detectors, including heat detectors, smoke detectors, flame detectors, and fire-gas detectors, each with distinct working principles. Heat detectors, categorized into fixed temperature and rateof-rise types, activate upon detecting significant temperature increases, making them reliable and cost-effective. Smoke detectors, utilizing photoelectric or ionization technology, detect smoke particles, with photoelectric detectors being effective for smouldering fires. Ionization detectors, although efficient for sudden flare-ups, pose safety risks due to radioactive elements and are discouraged in some regions. Flame detectors, such as infrared and ultraviolet types, detect
In the past, fire alarms relied on community members to spot fires and alert others using whistles or bells, but as towns grew, this method became impractical. In the 1850s, an improved system with wooden rattles for waking people during fires was introduced in Australia. Moses Farmer and William F. Channing further advanced fire alarm technology by creating telegraphic key fire alarm boxes in 1852, enabling swift transmission of fire locations to central alarm stations for faster fire department response.
