Design and Development of an IoT System Prototype for Safe Traffic Assurance System

Abstract

In 18 months (from 2022 to the first 6 months of 2023), there were 16,229 road traffic accidents nationwide, killing 9,086 people and injuring 11,235 people. In the first 9 months of 2023 alone, there were 8,335 traffic accidents nationwide, killing 4,765 people and injuring 5,802 people. Traffic order and safety are one of the important issues related to the life and development of the country. According to statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), each year about 1.35 million people die and 50 million people are injured due to traffic accidents. Some serious traffic accidents, killing and injuring many people, are mainly caused by high speed and violation of the regulations on alcohol concentration. Therefore, implementing safe traffic solutions to minimize loss of life and property is one of the urgent needs. The project develops an IoT system prototype that can reduce the risks of traffic accidents through a continuous monitoring of parameters during participation in traffic by vehicles. The system integrates sensors, including gas sensors (detection of alcohol concentration), vibration sensors (detection of accidents), and infrared sensors (detection of the seat belts). In case of any accident, the system can send warnings and location information to the relevant systems.
