Automobiles have become a major part of the lifestyle of many households across the world. For day to day commute or long distance travel purposes, vehicles are a common sight on streets. But with the increase in use of vehicles, the number of road accidents has also gone up. There are various causes of road accidents but one of the significant reasons contributing to road accidents all over the world is drivers losing their focus and making mistakes during critical situations while driving. Fatigue, drowsiness and lethargy are worse enemies of drivers, and the common cause is suffocation due to accumulation of CO2 inside the vehicle cabin. A novel method to modify existing heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems present in most commercial automotive vehicles is proposed that can regulate the concentration of CO2 inside the vehicle cabin so that the passengers experience a comfortable and safe journey. The new design is experimented both on simulation and with hardware. Reliable and convincing results were obtained.
