Prototype of an Integrated Electronic System for Increased Safety and Comfort in a Car

This paper presents a simulation study and development of a prototype of an integrated electronic system, specifically designed to enhance both the safety and the comfort of passengers and drivers in modern vehicles.The proposed system provides intelligent assistance during parking maneuvers by alerting the driver to nearby obstacles, and it also actively monitors the internal environment of the car cabin to detect the presence of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, thereby improving occupant safety.In order to accomplish these objectives, a detailed functional algorithm was created and a corresponding structural scheme was designed.Simulation studies were carried out using the Tinkercad platform to validate the theoretical model and to test the behavior of the system components under realistic conditions.After a successful simulation, the physical prototype of the system was assembled and tested in a laboratory environment.The core of the system is based on the Arduino UNO microcontroller, which offers flexibility, ease of programming, and integration capabilities with various sensors and actuators.The study demonstrates the potential of low-cost microcontroller-based solutions for intelligent automotive systems focused on active safety and enhanced user experience.
