<br/><br/> The study, "Development of a Voice Activation Assistance System for a Semi-Automatic<br/>Side Mirror," aims to develop new technologies for vehicles that enhance drivers’ safety<br/>and convenience. It has features of voice control and digital buttons that can be controlled<br/>through dashboard touch screen tablet and emergency switches in the control panel in case<br/>of a malfunction of Bluetooth connectivity. Also, it offers comfort to drivers and a new<br/>experience for improved maneuverability. The prototype design is a customized simulation<br/>of side mirror systems controlled by an Arduino Uno as the microcontroller, with a 12V<br/>battery as the power source and power supply for the safety and support of the components.<br/>It has safety devices like a buck converter to step down the voltage from 12V to 5V for the<br/>electronic components and a relay in case of a short circuit. The study was evaluated by 50<br/>evaluators composed of automotive professors, technicians, drivers, and students under the<br/>Power Plant Engineering Technology Department and Electronics Department of the<br/>Technological University of the Philippines—Manila. Moreover, the result indicates that<br/>the weighted mean rating for functionality is 4.62, interpreted as “excellent.’ The aesthetic<br/>value received a rating of 4.35, interpreted as “very good.” Workability achieved a rating<br/>of 4.54, categorized as “excellent.” Durability was rated at 4.59, also deemed “excellent.”<br/>The economy aspect was rated at 4.49, which translates to "very good," while safety was<br/>rated at 4.56, which earns an "excellent" interpretation. The overall mean was rated at 4.52<br/>with a verbal interpretation rating of "Excellent." This means that the system is useful<br/>among the drivers in terms of functionality, effectiveness, workability, durability, economy,<br/>and safety.
