Abstract: The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) has introduced new safety challenges, particularly due to their low acoustic signature and battery- related thermal risks. This paper presents the design and development of an IoT-based multi-sensor safety system aimed at improving both pedestrian awareness and onboard safety. The proposed system utilizes an infrared (IR) sensor to detect nearby pedestrians and generate audible alerts through a buzzer, enhancing external awareness of the vehicle. An ultrasonic sensor is employed for short-range obstacle detection, enabling automatic motor cut-off when objects or passengers are detected within a critical distance, thereby reducing the risk of collisions. To address battery safety, a temperature sensor is integrated into the EV system to continuously monitor thermal conditions. When the temperature exceeds predefined thresholds, a visual alert is triggered using an LED to warn the user and prevent potential fire hazards. Furthermore, the system incorporates Wi-Fi connectivity with the Blynk mobile application, allowing remote monitoring of temperature and system.
