Abstract :
Driver negligence is one of the main factors causing accidents in traffic. In
this case, preparing the vehicle before it is operated is an important thing to do,
the cargo door is an important part of the vehicle that cannot escape the
preparation. Therefore technology needs to be used to improve driving safety by
reducing the possibility of negligence.
This study aims to design and create a tool to provide information and
warnings about the condition of the cargo door using Arduino. Research and
Development is the right method in designing this tool. Collecting data for tools to
be used and then designing according to needs using Proteus software and Arduino
IDE for programming.
Arduino microcontroller is the right choice, coupled with several important
components. Ultrasonic sensor that functions to detect the condition of the door
so that the driver can find out the position of the door in an open or closed state,
using the help of a magnetic sensor the driver can also find out how the condition
of the door lock lever is. This tool is realized in the form of a vehicle prototype that
can work according to the program that has been created.
