Abstract: Generally, all drivers will face blind spot while driving. Blind spot was the real situation where the drivers could not be able to detect any vehicles through side mirrors while overtaking in order to avoid accidents. Blind spot was one of the main factors of the accidents since the drivers had no clear vision of any vehicles which were closed to them. The project was proposed in order to help the drivers to have clear information with the blind spot assistance system known as vehicle ‘s Blind Spot Detector (VBSD). Basically, main component ultrasonic sensor was used to detect the moving vehicles in blind spot area. The driver would be assisted by three colours of Light Emitting Diode, Liquid Crystal Display and buzzer. The operation started where the ultrasonic sensor would send the input to the microcontroller Arduino Mega to process the information signal and send the output to perform actions based on programme written in Proteus and Arduino Software. These actions would lead the Light Emitting Diode to blink in different colours based on different distances accordingly and the buzzer will buzz at the same time to assist the driver. The vehicle ‘s Blind Spot Detector had been installed on the prototype car for testing and it was successfully working where it could be seen to help most of the drivers regardless age, ability and the traffic.
