Abstract

In countries like India and China where the population density is very high and the number of vehicles on road keep on increasing every year it presents us with a problem that is monitoring this entire situation and preventing rash driving and accidents and even if they take place there should be immediate action taken to prevent it from happening again and making the roads a safer environment for everyone. To solve this problem, utilized sensors present in the Smartphone specifically the accelerometer sensor to detect the changes in parameters, for this an app was created. The app will read the sensor data that are embedded in the Smartphone and stores the sensors data in the database, The main reason of using the Smartphone is that implementation will be very easy and cost effective as the hardware is already available with everyone and the cost of implementation will be lower when compared to producing an exclusive hardware for this purpose only. The theoretical threshold values for accelerometer sensor data to calculate sudden breaking, sudden acceleration, harsh cornering with the respective axis is used to determine the initial situation. Feeding this data in MATLAB was we use an algorithm developed for this very purpose of analyzing this data.
