Abstract: Abstract of invention This concept addresses the prevention of road hypnosis on highways, where straight, smooth roads with consistent environments can cause drivers to lose focus at high speeds (e.g., 120 km/h). To counteract this, a system using an Electronic Timer Switch (ETS) or ECU is proposed. The system temporarily interrupts the vehicle's power supply for 1 to 7 seconds at random intervals (every 30 minutes to 2 hours). This artificial jerk helps to re-engage the driver and maintain alertness by creating a physical and mental stimulus. The system is triggered through ECU OR ETS software and automatically restores power after the interruption. At the same time when 7 second engine is stop then the back light of vehicles is on it give indication to back coming vehicle. Additionally, voice warnings are provided periodically to ensure driver focus, and the random nature of interruptions helps avoid the effects of road hypnosis.
