Advanced Internet of Things (IoT) Based Technique for Prevention of Road Accidents

Population in the countries like India is growing very rapidly which results in increase in traffic in cities. WHO (World Health Organization) gave the report of accidents that occurred in the world in 2021 due to the accidents. As per reports around 50% to 60% of the accident cases are leading to the death of the individual. Many reasons state the cause of accidents. One case states that accident deaths occur majorly with two-wheeler riders due to the head injuries. Another case states that due to the drowsiness of the driver. Alcohol consumption is also the major reason for accidents to occur which might result in the loss of life of a driver. Survey done by road safety department states that majority of road accidental deaths are occurring in youth due to rash driving or driving with alcohol consumption. In this work, an advanced way of dealing with the accidents is proposed which further prevents the accidents to occur. An Internet of Things (IOT) based system is designed in such a way that bike or scooter gets started only the rider wears a helmet and also passes the alcohol test. One more methodology is also added where the alarm system gets ON when the driver reaches the over speed. Sensors and microcontrollers are used in the proposed work.
