Collision detection system for vehicles in hilly and dense fog affected area to generate collision alerts

摘要

Timely detection of other vehicles in the vicinity is of extreme importance to help avoid accidents and potential loss of human life, traffic jams especially in Hilly areas with hair pins bends and reduced visibility condition in dense foggy areas. This paper introduces a GPS based system which actively and continuously sends vehicle location coordinates (latitude/longitude) to the eye in the sky server, which processes/analyses data from all such vehicles and predicts potential collision and sends backs alert to the vehicle to raise visual/sound alert. We simulate a scenario using smart phones and GPS system.
