Vehicle Monitoring using Connected Vehicle Systems

Abstract

India is the most populated country. Traffic control is being the biggest challenge for the traffic police. Though the government is taking necessary measures to control the traffic, the citizen’s cooperation is less. Reaching destinations is becoming a major task for people with busy schedules and in a hurry, which causes violations of traffic rules leading to traffic congestion and accidents. The death rate is increasing day by day due to more accidents, and people are exhausted by severe traffic congestions. To reduce these traffic congestions and accidents, we are proposing a model that will help ensure the safety of riders and alleviate traffic congestions. In this paper, we have proposed an IoT (Internet of Things)-based model that will continuously monitor the values of sensors attached to the engines and warn the riders through vehicle-to-vehicle applications of connected vehicle technology. This has the potential to significantly prevent or reduce the impact of millions of accidents every time when the accident or a traffic congestion are ahead of them.
