    IR sensors have low range of distance measurement nearly 10 to 15 cms
    refer to the link

     will the sensors work with the same accuracy at all times or more efficient in the night

     to measuring the distance from ir sensor first take test that what is analog output of reciever to perticular distance, for perticular distance analog o/p is fixed and then we program the microcontroller(anlog signal given to atmega directly)  that for perticular analog signal have perticular distance.

    depends on your budget. If you want more accurate distance measurement then go with ultrasonic sensors. There is a project in this website which you can refer to. Go to Knowledge Base –> Projects and look for “

    Distance Finder Based on AT89S52 and Ultra-Sonic Sensors HC-SR04
