Smart Driving and Vehicular Communication Using IoT

Abstract: Vehicular communication systems are computer networks in which vehicles are the communicating nodes, providing one another with information, like safety warnings and traffic information. They can be effective in avoiding accidents and traffic jams. This vehicular communication will collect different vehicular parameters as sensor values from Electronic/Engine Control Units (ECUs). The paper focuses on the implementation of vehicular communication systems that will collect vehicle related data and transmit it over Wi-Fi or USB to serial converter to the vehicle. Also sending emergency alerts to the respective people and authorities if an accident occurs. This system can be installed in any vehicle. Implementation of the system is done using Arduino, GPS sensor, Hall Effect sensor (speed sensor), Wi-Fi modem and various others.
