Development of a Seatbelt Alarm System with Engine Stopper for Enhanced Vehicle Safety

The capstone project aims to design, develop, and implement an innovative seatbelt alarm system
integrated with an engine stopper mechanism to enhance vehicle safety and promote responsible
driving behavior. The system will be designed to ensure that all occupants of the vehicle are wearing
their seatbelts before the engine can be started and to provide continuous reminders if seatbelts are not
fastened during the journey. Additionally, in cases where seatbelts are not fastened while the vehicle is
in motion, the engine stopper feature will be activated, bringing the vehicle to a controlled stop.

The project will involve the following key components:

Sensor Integration: Various sensors, such as pressure sensors in the seat, door sensors, and ignition
sensors, will be integrated to detect seatbelt engagement and vehicle status.

Alarm and Notification System: A user-friendly alarm system will be developed to provide visual and
auditory reminders to occupants about fastening their seatbelts. The system will also send notifications
to the vehicle owner or authorized parties if seatbelts remain unfastened.

Engine Stopper Mechanism: A safe and effective mechanism will be devised to cut off the engine power
if seatbelts are not fastened while the vehicle is in motion. This will prevent the vehicle from being
driven without proper seatbelt usage.

User Interface: An intuitive user interface will be designed, allowing users to monitor the status of
seatbelts, disable the engine stopper in specific situations, and configure alarm preferences.

The project's significance lies in its potential to significantly reduce road accidents and fatalities by
encouraging seatbelt usage among vehicle occupants. The seatbelt alarm system with an engine stopper
not only emphasizes safety but also aligns with modern technological advancements in vehicle design.
The project will require a comprehensive understanding of sensor integration, vehicle electronics, safety
protocols, and user experience design.

Through rigorous testing and validation, the capstone project aims to showcase the effectiveness,
reliability, and user-friendliness of the proposed system. The results of the project could potentially
contribute to the future development of vehicle safety standards and regulations, emphasizing the
incorporation of advanced technologies for safer road experiences.
