Avoidance of Tractor Rollover and Reports In Emergencies

Sujay Ballal, Muthulakshmi S.

Abstract :

 Tractors are the backbone for farmers in terms of both agricultural aspects and transportation. It is the largely  used vehicle for transporting heavy loads like water, soil, waste etc. in villages and also in cities. The main problem  faced by tractors while transporting these is the rollover which causes injuries and loss to the farmer. The tractors centre of gravity is high thus  reducing its balance and stability. So to avoid this, have introduced a microcontroller based system which contains monitoring device that  indicates the happening of the rollover to the driver. LCD, LED and buzzers are also included to indicate the rollover and helping the driver to  avoid it. A mercury tilt switch senses the rollover of the tractor and sends a message through GSM Module to the emergency contact number  that is interfaced to the microcontroller. The main advantages of this mechanism over the previous ones are that, this is more economical  and more reliable.
