Project Summary

This project is to devise a solution for a real time problem in daily life and that is road safety. As we know that with the rapid progress in the automobile industries and the increased highway infrastructure, there is also an increase in the road safety hazards and the road accidents around the globe and particularly in Pakistan. In most of the situation the rapid response of the rescue services is delayed owing to many reasons. This results in the delayed treatment and in many cases results in causality. There is a need to develop a system that caters to all these problems and can effectively function to overcome the delay in arranging rescue aid.

The aim of this project is to design and development a prototype solution for the cars that will help in the detection of the road accidents and providing a rapid rescue service by informing the medical and rescue units. The solution will be an on board set of sensors installed the car that will be sensing the vibration, tilting angle and speed of the car continuously. Separately mounted GPS module will be fetching the details of the car’s location coordinates. In case there is an accident on the road, the on board controller will judge the situation based on the sensor values and if it results in the accident, the information will be sent to nearby rescue teams through IoT controller installed inside the car. The information delivered to the rescue team will consist of the location of the car and the sensor values.

The prototype will be consisting of a car equipped with the sensors installed on particular points on the car surface and will be connected to the controller inside the car, placed at a safe point. The power of the control circuitry will be provided by the battery and regulatory board. The IoT controller and the onboard Wi-Fi setup will be installed near the main controller. The car will be motorized and the motion will be controlled through the main controller. For the demonstration purposes, there will be another car for the accident demonstration however that car will be sensor less. The road design and arena has been designed reflecting the real scenarios.

Main motto of this project is to decrease the chances of casualties in the accidents.

Project Objectives

Project objectives are:

• Design and development of speed controller
• Design and development of Vibration sensing module
• Design and Development of Tilt measuring controller.
• Design and Development Motor drive controller.
• Design and development of GPS controller.
• Design and development of the accident detection controller.
• Design and Development of IoT Controller.
• Design and Development of Remote end for the rescue team.

Project Implementation Method

The project methodology is as under.

• Phase 1: Design and development of speed controller

In this phase a speed sensing module will be connected with the car wheels and it will be counting the RPMs of the wheel. The RPMs will be fed to the controller which will be calculating the speed of the car.

• Phase 2: Design and development of Vibration sensing module

The second phase is about the development of vibration sensing module that will be counting and sensing the vibration. The controller attached will be reading all the values for a possible result prediction.

• Phase 3: Design and Development of Tilt measuring controller.

The 3rd phase is about the development of tilt measuring unit that will be counting if there is any change in the orientation of the car after a certain accident. The controller will be reading sensor values and measuring the tilt values.

• Phase 4: Design and Development Motor drive controller.

This phase is about the development of motor drive controllers. The car will be connected with two motors. The motors will be controlled through microcontroller via H-bridge.

• Phase 5: Design and development of GPS controller.

This phase is about the development of GPS module controller. A high precision GPS module will be connected with the controller and the coordinates of the car will be read continuously.

• Phase 6: Design and development of the accident detection controller.

This is the integration phase where all the sensors will be integrated to a single controller. The sensors data will be monitored and decision factor will be implemented about the accident occurrence.

• Phase 7: Design and Development of IoT Controller.

Here, the IOT channel using Thingspeak platform will be developed. All the values from the sensors will be displayed on the IoT Channel through Wi-Fi and nodeMCU Module connected with the controller.

• Phase 8: Design and Development of Remote end for the rescue team.

This is about the development of the remote end for the rescue teams. An IoT channel will be implemented for the rescue team. If there is accident occurrence, the channel will display the caution results to the rescue teams.

Benefits of the Project

1. Minimizes death ratio due to accident.
2. Provide quick rescue.
3. Tracks the location of accident.
4. Precise method of accident detection.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Following is the details of the deliverables.

1. The 1st module will be the Vibration sensing module and controller that will be responsible for measuring the vibrations in the car particularly in the accident situation.
2. The 2nd module will be the tilt sensor that will be calculating the tilt of the car if there is any change in the orientations of car in case of accident.
3. The 3rd module will be motor driver circuit based on the H-bridge. For two motors, it will be a pair of circuits connected with the controller.
4. The 4th module will be GPS controller that will comprise a controller with the GPS sensor and tracing the location of the car.
5. The 5th module will be an integrated circuit comprising all the sensors and the controller will be detection the situation as accident or not.
6. The 6th module will be IoT controller that will be sending sensors data to the Thingspeak platform. The module will consist of nodeMCU and microcontroller.
7. There will be a complete setup of road design in the form of arena where the prototype cars will run and the demonstration will be carried out.
8. A fully equipped car with sensors, controller, IoT controller and battery.
9. A prototype other car for the accident purposes. It will be equipped with the motor driver circuitry.
10. A fully customized GUI for IoT channel on Thingspeak for both the rescue end as well as the car’s unit.
