Innovation Description

Profile
Mr. Aditya Parashar hails from the Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh.

Purpose
He has suggested developing a vehicle overtake detection and warning system to alert the driver about the overtaking vehicle from behind.

Technical details
The idea is to incorporate a microphone in the side view mirror in a car to pick up the horn frequencies of vehicles following the car. Sometimes, when the door windows are up and music is playing, it becomes difficult to hear the horn. The microphone gets activated when the window glasses are up and sends a signal to a vibratory pad on the steering, which will alert the driver about another vehicle following.
He has many other ideas as well like a remote that takes energy from TV light or any other natural/artificial source of light, and a luggage carrier on the top of automobiles with a rotatory base so that one needs just to rotate the carrier to pick up any luggage on any side.

Benefits
The system can alert the driver to take necessary precautions about the vehicle coming to overtake from behind.
