A Novel Surveillance System For Passenger Safety And Monitoring The Driver Behavior Through Vehicular Ad Hoc Network

The system comprises of two Electronic Control Units (ECU) - Active Vehicle Control (AVC) to measure the driver's driving behavior and Passenger Safety Control (PSC) for ensuring the safety during travelling in private vehicles. The AVC module is a Global System for Mobile (GSM) based ECU which consists of multiple sensor that measures the driver's abnormal or race driving behavior and correspondingly report to the call taxi company through GSM. The PSC module enables the passenger to stop the vehicle by pressing the emergency stop button. The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) also known as Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication shares the real time traffic related information between the vehicles to reach the destination on time thereby avoiding accidents and traffic congestion. The proposed system is found to be superior to ensure security for passengers than traditional approaches.
