In the current scenario one of the major causes of road accidents in the world is the fact that after driving hundreds of kilometers at a stretch, the driver feels drowsy and eventually dozes off while driving or they are not aware of the environment they might just be entering. They might also be unaware of any defect in their cars.

Growth in population has led to growth in technology. People use car on large number and number of accidents taking place, is increasing day-by-day. Road accidents are undoubtedly the most frequent happening cases and overall, the cause of the most damage. There are many dangerous roads in the world like mountain roads, narrow curve roads, T roads. Some mountain roads are very narrow and they have many curves. The problems in these curve roads is that the drivers are not able to see the vehicle or obstacles coming from another end of the curve. If the vehicle is in great speed then it is difficult to control and there are chances of falling off a cliff. Hence there is a need of many road safety systems. To avoid these problems in curve roads of mountain areas, Nevon projects has proposed this vehicle accident prevention system. This accident prevention system using sensors is powered by Arduino board, it consists of IR sensors, LED lights, and buzzer. When two cars pass from the opposite side of a mountain curve the IR sensor senses the car and LED colour changes to red and raises the buzzer giving signal of danger and then it changes one LED colour into green to allow the one car to pass and then the other LED colour turns green. In this way we can prevent the accidents of curved road.
The number of fatal road accidents are increasing day by day and has been a great challenge put in front of public health and concerned agencies. Every day in newspapers the main news in the front page is a road accident. The most prominent deaths of today’s population are because of road accidents. Over 1,37,000 people were killed in road accidents in 2013 alone. This count is more than the number of soldiers who sacrificed their lives on battlefields. There are many reasons for road accident happenings like improper construction and maintenance of the roads, overcrowding and increasing count of vehicles. Apart from this, the lack of road sense by the drivers and other users of the road have further complicated the matters. Mostly the youngsters are losing their lives on roads because of rash driving, drunken driving and other reasons, which is a great loss for our nation. According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.25 million deaths worldwide in the year 2010 i.e. one person is killed every 25 seconds. There were 464,000 road accidents in 2015 in India. The states Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra reported (3,668) and (3,146) i.e. the largest number of people killed in two-wheeler accidents, while Uttar Pradesh reported largest number of lives lost due to (5,720) truck accidents and (2,135) car accidents. A Report on Road Accidents in India 2016, published by Transport Research wing under Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India, has revealed that the country recorded at least 4,80,652 accidentsin 2016, leading to 1,50,785 deaths. The number suggests that at least 413 people died every day in 1,317 road accidents. At present India accounts for 10 percent of global road accidents with more than 1.46 lakh fatalities annually.
