Goal of our project

  • To prevent hazardous accidents like vehicle toppling by providing visual & audible aids to the driver.
  • To create a better user experience for the CAT UTV driver by making him aware of the environment in which he is driving & what the safe speed will be.
  • To reduce the number of accidents occuring due to inexperience of the driver by making the process of vehicular judgement easier.
