This paper presents an effective vehicle and motorcycle detection system in the blind spot area in the daytime and nighttime scenes. The proposed method identifies vehicle and motorcycle by detecting the shadow and the edge features in the daytime, and the vehicle and motorcycle could be detected through locating the headlights at nighttime. First, shadow segmentation is performed to briefly locate the position of the vehicle. Then, the vertical and horizontal edges are utilized to verify the existence of the vehicle. After that, tracking procedure is operated to track the same vehicle in the consecutive frames. Finally, the driving behavior is judged by the trajectory. Second, the lamps in the nighttime are extracted based on automatic histogram thresholding, and are verified by spatial and temporal features to against the reflection of the pavement. The proposed real-time vision-based Blind Spot Safety-Assistance System has implemented and evaluated on a TI DM6437 platform to perform the vehicle detection on real highway, expressways, and urban roadways, and works well on sunny, cloudy, and rainy conditions in daytime and night time. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed vehicle detection approach is effective and feasible in various environments.

Traffic congestion is becoming a huge problem, which is arising due to vehicle failure or accidents. Transportation and use of advanced technology has great importance in society and that has made many of our lives much easier. By automatic accident detection and alerting GSM & GPS based technology can be used to overcome these problems. Where as in case of Child and Women there are very few efficient security and safety measures adopted. Now in India the safety for women has become a major issue while travelling. Nowadays women think twice before taking any steps out of their homes, especially in the night time. Hence, this is unfortunately, the sad reality of our country and also due to various crimes like child abuse, rape, dowry deaths, trafficking and many more. At the time of women facing unsecured situations, there is a need to ensure safety while travelling. Hence automatic detection system needs to be established where one can send alert message to the police station or the relatives which detects the current location of the required ones by use of such technologies the women and children can get protection. Mainly in remote areas children use bicycles as means of transport from several years and nowadays, despite due to the large vailability of new and faster means, the bicycle users is not decreased. Despites the cyclists find difficult to travel within them and other vehicles find difficult to find them during night time. In case of any emergency situation faced at unknown remote areas the cyclist can send their location to required ones to help them. In this paper, report the survey on the existing mechanism for detecting locations, and sending signals and to collect parameters such as temperature of the human body, heart beat etc. using sensors. With the help of GPS and GSM we can track the location of the child, women or vehicle. Hence, by these we can save the life of person’s being injured in various locations by sending a text message using IOT technologies
