PrOMor: A proposed prototype of V2V and V2I for crash prevention in the moroccan case

Abstract

Road safety has become an object of research and many research institutes have invested in this field because a lot of people die and many others are injured every year due to road accidents. The deployment of wireless communication technologies for vehicular networks can considerably improve road safety. It can enable new services such as traffic management, collision detection, and additional communication ease between moving vehicles. This paper presents a complete implementation of Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications. Raspberry Pi boards, ultrasonic sensor, infrared obstacle detector, and line follower sensors are used in order to implement the complete prototype. The results show the usefulness of this road safety prototype named PrOMor (Prevention of Obstacles in Morocco). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the presented scenarios can be applied to the field of road safety related to the Moroccan case. This should reduce the number of accidents and save more human lives.
