Design and Deployment of the Road Safety System in Vehicular Network Based on a Distance and Speed

Abstract

In the age of intelligent communication technology, intelligent mobile phones play a critical role in road accidents. Their effect on driving, resulting in vehicle crashes over the last two decades, has become a significant risk. Speed was identified as an important risk factor for road traffic accidents. By monitoring vehicle speed and position, one can help prevent accidents by sending out alert messages and limiting the consequences for unprotected road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. To manage and control road accidents, the position and speed of the vehicle were communicated to nearby cars, and the excellent circle method was used to calculate the distance between the towing vehicle and the trailing vehicle. This method is based on the zero point of the earth’s equator and GPS. The application was tested in this paper using mobile devices. The experiment used various smartphone modules, such as GPS receivers, digital road maps, and communication systems. A prototype was developed and evaluated using mobile phones in highway and city scenarios with varying speeds and network sizes. As a result of the experiment, location and speed accuracy were determined, and alert messages were generated when the distance between vehicles fell below the standard or government-specified length. The investigation could be expanded further by connecting to the Internet, storing data in the cloud, performing analytics, and involving insurance agents, relatives, and nearby hospitals.
