Abstract

This paper proposes an inter-vehicular communication model using Bluetooth for information transfer.V2V technology proposes a variety of solutions for passenger safety. According to research,1.35 million people die each year due to road crashes [1]. Present vehicle system uses radars, cameras to detect collisions and gives potential warnings to the drivers, leaving the decision to the driver. Our main motivation is to avoid crash collisions, reduce fatal accidents, traffic congestion. The proposed idea enhances the current systems by upgrading from alerting the drivers to communication between vehicles, helps the vehicle to take control over the situation and control its state. In this paper, the idea is demonstrated using two prototype models designed with an Ultrasonic sensor to detect nearby vehicles and objects, Bluetooth module which uses Bluetooth for real-time data transfer of mobility parameters such as speed, distance, etc. providing 360-degree awareness to the vehicle. Bluetooth can be replaced with any highly advanced wireless technologies according to requirements. Designed prototype models are tested under 3 common real-life scenarios such as slowdown, abrupt stop, overtaking. The average reaction brake time for a driver is 2.3 sec. Replacing the driver with the vehicle taking control over the situation when required helps us in reducing this reaction time which is a major cause of accidents, reduces traffic congestion.
