Abstract

In India, an increasing number of vehicles on the roads, in recent past, have led to an increase in the number of road accidents. There have been alarming statistics regarding the number of accidents per day in India. At least 1,42,000 people died due to road accidents in India in the year 2011. Bad driving, lax traffic control, and poor road conditions are the main reason for this. In this work, we present a mobile phone application that uses combination of in-built sensors, GPS, micro-phone and accelerometer, to detect driving behavior along with road and traffic conditions. This application will prove helpful in detecting bad driving as well as road and traffic conditions in order to assist a willing individual to change his or her driving behavior. The law and enforcement agencies may also use this data in analyzing the ground realities for increasing number of road accidents.
