Abstract :
As we see in our regular life the accidents taking place by rash driving and lack of concentration on the traffic information boards. In order to assure safer and smarter driving, various driving assistance systems are increasingly considered in research. Current vehicle driving assistance systems uses number of technologies such as radar, image processing, RFID, IR, computer vision etc. These technologies use communication system along with sensors, Integrating all of these technologies into a single system is normally a costly, larger in size and complex solution. But in these systems most of the times sensors output is affected by bad weather/climate, bad light and consumes high power and needs regular maintenance. We came up with a solution by providing the information inside the vehicle in order to reduce the accidents and difficulties in driving. The solution seeks to alert and inform the driver whenever the vehicle approaches a preset waypoint on the road. Here we thought of introducing cost effective, low powered secured technology. Here communication and sensing is achieved by single module which is of low-cost, low-power, reliable, less sensitive to climatic changes. Easy to implement, easy to install, smaller in size. It employs mesh network topology, allowing it provide high reliability and a reasonable range.
