FlipSensor

FlipSensor is a next-generation vehicle safety system designed to prevent accidents caused by extreme tilts or rollovers. By monitoring your car’s orientation and center-of-mass projections in real-time, FlipSensor alerts drivers before dangerous situations occur.

Whether you're off-roading, navigating steep inclines, or driving in challenging conditions, FlipSensor helps protect you, your passengers, and your vehicle.


Features

  • Real-time tilt and orientation monitoring
  • Alerts before dangerous rollovers or flips
  • Works on Jeeps, SUVs, off-road vehicles, and standard cars
  • Compact and easy to integrate with onboard electronics
  • Customizable alerts: visual, audio, or digital

Hardware

  • MPU6050 Sensor Module – 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer (GY-521)
  • Compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers

Software

Currently, the project is implemented in C++ for testing on a PC. Arduino integration will follow using the MPU6050 sensor.


Usage

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Compile and run on a PC to simulate vehicle tilt detection.
  3. Replace the getAcceleration() function with real sensor readings when using Arduino and MPU6050.
  4. Integrate visual, audio, or digital alerts as needed.

Running the Project

To compile and run the project on a PC, use the following command:

g++ -o main.out main.cpp && ./main.out

Future Plans

  • Full Arduino integration with the MPU6050 sensor
  • Enhanced tilt detection algorithms for off-road conditions
  • Configurable alert thresholds for different vehicle types
  • Optional mobile app integration for remote notifications
