Arduino Based Embedded System In Cars For Road Safety

Abstract

Road accidents are one of the world’s major public health and injury prevention problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than a million children are killed in road accidents each year, all over the world. The motivation behind this work is an attempt to make an Arduino based embedded system which makes the passenger’s journey even safer and more secure. This paper handles the road discipline such as speed control in different areas and horn control in horn prohibited zones. The features included in this paper are Vehicle Speed Control in school Zone and also controlling the speed of the vehicle in different zones such as bridges, highways, cities and suburbs. It also includes Horn Control of Vehicle in No Honking Zone- Control horn disturbances in horn prohibited zones such as hospitals, public libraries, courts, schools and Alcohol detection to detect drunken driving. Security in travel is primary concern for every one. This Project describes a design of effective alarm system that can monitor an automotive / vehicle / car condition in traveling. This project is designed to inform about an accident that is occurred to a vehicle to the family members of the traveling persons. This Project presents an automatic vehicle accident detection system using GPS and GSM modems. The system can be interconnected with the Alcohol detection, and alert the owner on his mobile phone. This detection and messaging system is composed of a GPS receiver, Microcontroller and a GSM Modem. GPS Receiver gets the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude.
