🚀 Project Overview

SMARTSTOP is designed to improve rider safety through real-time obstacle detection, adaptive braking, and speed control mechanisms. The prototypes gradually integrate new technologies to ensure optimal safety and efficiency.

Prototype Evolution

1. First Prototype – Focuses on obstacle detection using ultrasonic sensors, providing visual and audible alerts to riders.
2. Second Prototype – Introduces adaptive braking, combining obstacle detection with servo-based braking assistance.
3. Third Prototype – Implements automated speed control, integrating multi-sensor detection, smart braking, and obstacle response.

Future iterations will enhance automated notifications and AI-powered decision-making.
