Emergency driving assistance for debilitating drivers

Abstract

Communication has given a lot to our human world and communication among things is going to make it easier and help to solve most of our real-world problems by connecting with things. The Internet of Things meant for the communications among the things which can be either electronic products, our home furniture, vehicles or any other thing, has already come with its solutions to different real-world problems. And among all other problems, there is this life taking problems that happens to drivers while driving their four-wheelers. Drivers may get unconscious while driving that may cause sway further causing accidents, dangerous, isn’t it? No one knows what happens next and because of which the future is hard to predict. So why not to make the safety measures available that can save one’s life in such conditions.This paper proposes an emergency driving assistance simple robotic-car model for debilitating drivers where the system will help those drivers during their unconscious state while driving which might be the cause of drowsiness, fatigue or stress by sending its current location to the registered phone numbers of the concerned persons along with the urgent help message and also to thinkspeak database for the further analysis of the data collected from multiple numbers of devices. And at the same time, this system is going to start the self-driving mode of the car where the car will stop at the safe parking area on the road and turns on its red lights for safety. This proposed system’s working is based on the output given by the already proposed system for detecting the unconsciousness of the driver while driving caused by drowsiness, fatigue or stress in their body. The proposed system uses mobile communication technology for sending information about the unconsciousness of the driver to the concerned sources of help. The GPS and GSM modules are used for calling and sending the urgent help message containing the current location of the vehicle to the given phone numbers were GPS is global positioning system and GSM is a global system for mobile communication. And for the safe driving and parking assistance ultrasonic sensors which can detect any obstacle on its way within 13 feet along with the continuous line marking detector i.e., infrared sensors. So the car willbe no longer under the drivers control and the proposed system will help the moving car to stop when it detects the continuous white marking under its left wheel and turn on the red lights for its safe parking period of time on the road avoiding any kind of accident with other objects beside it due to sway.
