 ABSTRACT
Generally the usage of vehicle tracking system has been increased rapidly. The major concern of the
proposed system is identifying the vehicle theft by implementing anti-system. Car accidents are taken into
consideration certainly one of the most detrimental phenomena. Though there are numerous different
reasons behind car accidents, most injuries occur due to driver’s unawareness and uncontrolled
speed. Also, there appears to be a trouble accomplishing the spot of accident on time due to loss of
awareness. So smart vehicle using an Internet of Things (IoT) technology is the solution to reduce
the number of accidents and also to prevent theft. This paper presents a smart system design to detect
the accident immediately. This system always monitors the gap between the vehicles using ultrasonic
sensor. The proposed design is cognizant with GPS/GPRS and GSM that automatically send an alert
message to family members and nearest rescue team. The GPS/GPRS system continuously keeps the
track of vehicle location and can be used during an accident and theft.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

One of the most usable technologies in this trending world is IoT. IoT
describes about the embedded devices which are interlinked with the internet.
IoT Internet of Things encompasses devices like sensors, actuators, motors etc.
Nowadays the major concern of the people is securing the valuable objects like
vehicles. Security is enhanced by using GPS. The proposed system is used as an
anti-theft system in transport systems, public vehicles. In this automobile world,
Most of the people depend on vehicles and / or means of transportation system
to commute. This automobile usage has increased the traffic and chances of
accidents. As per US publisher Ward’s estimation in 2010, there were 1.015
billion motor vehicles are used by people throughout the globe. This figure
include the number of cars, trucks (light, medium and heavy duty), but off-road
vehicles or heavy construction equipment is not included. The comparison
between 1950 and 1970, the vehicle population got double roughly in every 10
years. . Smart Tracker system combines Internet technology, GPS and terrestrial
networks such as GSM/GPRS. The device fitted in the vehicle has a built in
GPS receiver determines the vehicle location, travelling speed, direction etc.
The device sends the data via GSM/GPRS wireless network to the Vehicle
Tracking Application.

According to Global status report on road safety 2018 by WHO the number of
deaths on roads is unacceptably high, with an estimated 1.35 million people
dying every year. It additionally represents the several losses of lives; occur
because of lack of instant medical support. Despite of the fact, the new
innovation and technology has progressed so much, still the road fatalities
continue to increase worldwide. In order to improve the road safety, vast
development in the wireless technology had introduced a new type of the
network such as Vehicular Ad-hoc NET work which provides the inter vehicle

communication. The VANET based Intelligent Transportation systems used to

gather the information from neighbour vehicle and predict the accident by
observing the traffic conditions. The survey on the (IoT) based road accident
system proposed IR sensors, laser section and RFID Tag in vehicles. The Smart
Vehicle Monitoring and Tracking System (SVMTS) The proposed system, uses
IOT some sensors in order to detect the distance between the vehicle to prevent
the collision and detect the accident relatively in less time that sends an alert to
rescue team and family members. In the case of theft, the owner will be able to
track the location of the vehicle using GPS via Mobile app. This application
helps and gives the best result to overcome the lack of emergency facilities. This
system is useful for continuous monitoring of the vehicle and to describe the
status of the vehicle on request.

sends this information to the nearest hospitals by using Wi-Fi. To avoid the
vehicle accident the sensors are fixed in the on the vehicles. If any obstacle is
Sensed, the sensed information will be sent to the raspberry pi. Raspberry-pi
plays the voice accouchement by using the voice playback system. In case, the
accident is occurred the video are taken by the webcam, Raspberry-pi sent the
video to the server. A video call will be connected nearest police station and
relations. This system sends the information about the accident to the nearest
hospitals. If any mechanical problem is occurred during the travel time it will be
sent to the raspberry pi.
Raspberry-pi announced this information to the driver by using the voice play
back system. Car door was partially locked means this information is send to the
raspberry pi and also any gas leakage is detects in this system this is sent to the
raspberry pi. Raspberry-pi will announce this to the driver via voice signal. If
any natural calamity or the road is blocked by some barrier, the information is
will be announced to the user in predefined manner, when they set the starting
point and destination point. Raspberry-pi plays the voice to the driver
corresponding to the barrier detected. Once driver update his vehicle details as
stop then he only able to starts this vehicle. If any criminal activities occurred to
the vehicle that information is send to the raspberry pi. Raspberry-pi sends this
information to the driver and nearest police station by using GPS tracking
