our daily life i.e. automobile. Considering the fact that most of the mishaps on roads tend to
occur due to driver’s fault, automobile manufacturers are equipping the systems with safety
systems to avoid any collision or direct crash by incorporating light or radio wave based sensors.
The safety devices installed inside automobiles use photoelectric sensors for distance
measurement, lighting control, speed control and collision avoidance. Aside from using Laser,
Infrared and Visible Light, safety devices make use of RADARS also for ranging nearby objects.
