Raspberry Pi Based Design and Development of the Accident Detection and Avoidance with Security System for vehicles

Abstract

With the advancement in technology and increasing traffic, road accidents and traffic hazard have increased, causing more chances of loss of life due to lack of timely help facilities. This paper is an attempt towards solutions for timely accident notification, vehicle theft control and vehicle pollution alerts. The proposed paper records the parameters of vehicle at regular intervals of time, through a “smart device” installed in the vehicle and sends these values onto the cloud, vehicle owner or a third party. Based on the information, appropriate algorithms are implemented to send alerts and initiate action. The system will facilitate the users in a number of ways such as notification for immediate aid in case of accident, tracking the vehicle in cases of theft and disabling the vehicle remotely and last but not the least, monitoring the sensor values in order to send alerts for air pollution caused by the vehicles. The system is developed using the .Net framework, MS Access and Microsoft Azzure cloud services and related services. The hardware components include the “smart device” installed in the vehicle and a mobile phone for user interaction. The “smart device” installed in the vehicle does not interfere with the normal functioning of the vehicle or cause overheads.
