Abstract
The problem of long bended routes in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is one of the annoying problems that harvest a big number of vitalities annually. The problem relays under the fact that these long bended route are in shortage for lighting because of its extremely high cost. Therefore, in this paper, a system will be proposed as a smart alerting system based on ZigBee sensor network. The proposed system targets the roads with weak lights at night time in order to reduce the number of accidents which may occur on such dangerous roads. A number of real experiments were conducted using ZigBee sensor nodes in order to test the efficiency and reliability of the proposed system. Through real experiments, it was demonstrated that the proposed system offers reasonable response time, and achieves low power consumption.
Highlights
In any country, it is crucial to maintain an excellent road infrastructure
Based on a study conducted by the Arabian smart transport system company; it was found that roads in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are ranked as the deadliest and most dangerous in the world
As part of the solution, we proposed a prototype smart lighting system, which will decrease the numbers we are observing, and illuminate as much as possible of traffic accidents by providing smart lightening in order to provide an alerting mechanism, so that driver on such routes could observe such bends and lower their speed in order to manage the vehicle properly so that they will avoid losing control and causing accidents on such routes
Summary
A kingdom such as Saudi Arabia, has a vary routes infrastructure which connects 104 cities together Some of these routes have a long length that could reach over 2500Km. The main issue that could cause traffic accidents is that these routes lack sufficient lightening system because of their massive lengths [1]. As part of the solution, we proposed a prototype smart lighting system, which will decrease the numbers we are observing, and illuminate as much as possible of traffic accidents by providing smart lightening in order to provide an alerting mechanism, so that driver on such routes could observe such bends and lower their speed in order to manage the vehicle properly so that they will avoid losing control and causing accidents on such routes.
