Abstract
Some of the problems faced by commuters today are as follows: (i) accidents due to running over potholes; (ii) reporting accidents to call for medical help (especially if the accident is on isolated/remote roads); (iii) inability to identify the vehicle which was involved in the accident; (iv) unexpected vehicle breakdown; and (v) monitoring the levels of gas emission from vehicles. In our paper, we propose a solution for the above-mentioned problems using an application that works based on the concept of IoT. The application uses various sensors to collect the relevant details and send it to the (i) traffic-related authorities to fix the identified potholes; (ii) hospitals/ambulance services to help the accident victims; (iii) legal authorities to use it as evidence while investigating accidents; (iv) vehicle service centers to fix the vehicle; and (v) to monitor vehicular pollution.
