Inter-Cars Safety Communication System Based on Android Smartphone
The purpose of this thesis is to create a communication system between cars to prevent and also to handle an accident. the system implemented in the car notifies the emergency service via text message by sending an emergency request when the car is involved in an accident. the system also gives information to other cars about the condition of the surroundings by giving a warning notification upon some event, such as bumpy road, speed bump, and sudden brake. the system use an Android based phone as the main platform. It utilizes the phones internal sensor for the event detectionand Wi-Fi Direct for the inter-cars communication. the system is connected to a FlyMaple board and Cubie board to provide the system with precise information. the flymaple gives GPS and track information about the car, while the cubie board gives visual surrounding information using camera. the data log from Flymaple and images from Cubieboard is received and saved to the phones internal storage for data logging purpose. the overall system has been tested for its functionality in the lab as well as on the real road condition, and the results confirm its ability to provide information related to road condition between connected cars via WiFi-Direct.
