Development of Smart Safety System for Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are increasingly adopted as a sustainable alternative to conventional fuel-based transportation due to their environmental benefits and energy efficiency. However, battery-related safety issues such as overheating, short circuits, and thermal runaway pose serious risks, often leading to fire hazards. This project presents the development of a RealTime Monitoring and Safety Protection System for Electric Vehicles designed to enhance battery safety and prevent fire incidents. The proposed system integrates sensors to continuously monitor critical parameters such as battery temperature, voltage, and current. These parameters are processed using a microcontroller and displayed on an LCD screen to provide realtime information to the driver. When abnormal conditions such as excessive temperature or electrical fluctuations are detected, an automatic power cutoff mechanism is triggered to disconnect the power supply and prevent further damage. Additionally, a buzzer alert system provides immediate warning to occupants, ensuring timely action. The system offers a cost-effective, reliable, and proactive safety solution that focuses on early detection and prevention rather than reactive fire suppression. This approach improves EV reliability, protects passengers, and contributes to safer electric transportation systems
