[5]. Not only this, here other very useful applications of ultrasonic sensors were

observed too.

This paper discusses about a monitoring system which is designed measure to

speed of waves and height of river through ultra-sonic sensor using micro-

controller (Arduino). On the off chance that the waterway can't oblige the

errors because of different type of water levels due to heavy waves and speed

of water and also due to floating of heavy objects. Unlike Previous testing

results, author directed this analysis on tracking of speed of water

improvement or modification and level of water in flooding. The test was

completed when the Arduino used as controller of application. For more

research, information of depth level and speed of water of this system will be

sent to database server website to be checked regularly [8].

An intelligent driver monitoring and vehicle control system is introduced in

this research. This technology is create to avoid accidents by monitoring the

driver’s activities. The writer states some of the main reasons of accidents

refreshed to the proprietor. This system overcomes all the different aspects

due to which other technologies designed for this purpose have failed, making

the system more useful, efficient and less costly and less time consuming [7].

In this research paper authors have given information about the detection of

radio waves and tracking or ranging through radar set which is built from

components like an ultra-sonic sensor, a servo motor and an Arduino. The

author discuss about the linear measurement problem because of which

distance measurement was not possible between some objects, was resolved

with the introduction of Ultrasonic distance measurer. It allows to take non-

contact measurements. This radar system can drastically reduce power

the result on the monitor [3].

This paper represents a system for obstacle detection in a known environment.

This system works through an android based mobile camera. People who are

visually impaired, face difficulties in detecting obstacles and navigation while

they walk. They use sticks for this problem nonetheless this manner or

technique is not right way of doing it. Object indicator or detector can

overcome accidents or collision problems of people or the other way is they

can to accurate map reading. The algorithm which is proposed in this paper

this paper introduced a calculation for identifying hindrance in known

condition with an android based versatile camera which scans chosen territory

before the camera for impediment location [9].

This research is about a blind walking stick made for blind people through

which they can avoid obstacles while they walk and recognize currency. With

the thought of visually impaired individuals, it is to some degree troublesome

job to distinguish the cash or any unexpected obstacle. Despite the fact that

currency dependent on size could possibly be recognized however it is

relatively hard to distinguish that whether the note is unique or phony. So to

overcome this issue the authors have designed the Currency Recognition Blind

In order to testify the working of this system, after its designing, construction

and programming we placed few objects in front of the ultrasonic sensor. As

the motor started to rotate, our monitor started to display the output through

processing IDE. Hence, when the sensor crossed over the object it showed a

red segment with the distance and angle where the object is paced.

The first object was placed at the distance of 30.5cm measured through a ruler

and the system measured the distance at 32cm.While the second object was

placed at a distance of 20 cm and the system measured it as 21cm. Hence the

sensor and the output is the servo motor which rotates 180 degrees. The

microcontroller controls all the operations of this system, from rotation of the

motors to the obstacle detection of the ultrasonic and representation of the

result on the screen.

called processing, it will display the input/output and the range of the object

[4]. Implementations of the sensors are done in such a way that ultra-sonic

sensor is attached on top of the servo motor because it have to detect the object

and its distance. Arduino (micro-controller) will control the ultra-sonic sensor

and servo motor and also powered will be given to both of them through
