Driving safety is a primary emphasis of current vehicle technology research, particularly in transport vehicles with blind spots on all four sides. This research aims to design and implement a wireless sensor network-based safe driving distance measuring system using ultrasonic sensors integrated with the nRF24L01 wireless communication module. This system will be placed on four sides of the vehicle, namely front, rear, left, and right to monitor the distance to objects around the car in real time. After then, the measurement data will be shown on the LCD mounted on the vehicle's dashboard, making it simple for the driver to understand the notifications. The research method includes hardware design, Arduino microcontroller programming, and a series of tests in static and dynamic conditions. The test results show that the ultrasonic sensor has good accuracy, both in static and dynamic conditions, although there is a possibility of delay arising from external factors such as vehicle vibrations, uneven roads, and so on. The nRF24L01 module is able to transmit data with a fairly good success rate under conditions of non-stop synchronization from four different sides. The monitoring results can be used by the driver to make decisions regarding safe driving distance
