Smart Ignition by Auto-Silencing of Android Phones

摘要

The purpose of the project is to restrict the usage of mobile phones while driving. The safety of copassengers, pedestrians as well as covehicles lies in the hands of every driver on the road. Majority of the accidents are caused because of the driver’s ignorance in wearing the seatbelts and the usage of mobile phones while on the road. Our project aims at making certain that the driver fastens his seatbelt and also the phone is brought into silent mode before he is all set to drive. This could be done using an Arduino controller with which an ESP8266 WiFi Module has been interfaced, a seatbelt detector and a mobile android service running in the background of the driver’s phone. The mobile is brought out of silent mode once the WiFi is turned off.
