        abstract = {Mountainous regions often present unique challenges in terms of road safety due to their treacherous terrains and limited visibility. This research paper introduces a Mountain Road Safety System that harnesses solar energy to mitigate risks and enhance safety measures on mountain roads. The system incorporates ultrasonic sensors to detect vehicles approaching from one side of the road and employs intelligent algorithms to calculate their proximity and side positioning. By utilizing solar energy, the system ensures continuous functionality and powers the street lights, which are controlled based on detected dark intensity. This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Mountain Road Safety System, highlighting its effectiveness in reducing accidents and improving overall safety.},
