Abstract
Electric vehicles, or EVs, form the bedrock of sustainable transportation, offering both energy efficiency and low carbon emissions. However, the safety issues emanating from the complexity of road conditions call for innovative solutions. This paper introduces a Smart Protective System for EVs, integrating YOLOv5 for real-time obstacle and pothole detection with ultrasonic sensors for proximity measurement. The system is able to achieve an object detection accuracy of 95% under normal conditions and 90% in adverse weather, with an average response time of 1.2 seconds. This framework thus demonstrates enhanced safety, robust performance, and adaptability, offering significant contributions to autonomous vehicle technologies and intelligent transportation systems. Ensuring the safety and dependability of electric vehicles (EVs) is crucial as their use grows. In order to improve vehicle protection, Smart Protective Systems (SPS) for EVs incorporate cutting-edge technologies such as sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. The architecture, operation, and importance of SPS in EVs are examined in this research, with a focus on how they protect battery life, avert collisions, and improve user experience. Future developments and the crucial role SPS play in the development of sustainable transport are covered in the study’s conclusion.
Keywords: Electric Vehicles, YOLOv5, Object Detection, Pothole Detection, Ultrasonic Sensors, Smart Transportation, Collision Prevention.
