Design of Driver Helping System Using Raspberry Pi

In this paper, a design of driver helping system using Raspberry Pi has been proposed. The main concept of this paper is to do both automation and manual process to reduce road accidents and traffic jam. This system robustly detects important road signs placed on the road with high accuracy and efficiency. Detection of road signs is done with the help of SURF algorithm, which works based on feature description matching. SURF algorithm helps in the identification of the road signs which will compare the features of the detected image with the database image. After the detection, the vehicle will vary the speed and make the turns automatically based on the detected road sign. A switch will be present which can be used by the driver to cancel the automation process or it can be used to control the vehicle manually.
