The car black box is used to analyse the cause of accidents like an airplane black box. This paper proposes a model of a car black box system which can be installed in the cars. The aim of this paper is to achieve accident analysis by tracking the working process of vehicles. In addition to this, the car black box system sends an alert message to the user mobile which is connected through Bluetooth module. The black box system also uses GPS sensor to collect the data location. The car black box system mainly helps the insurance companies to do car crash investigations and to record the road status to prevent or decrease death rates. This paper proposes a technique to monitor the vehicle performance and the behaviour of the driver using sensors with the use of IoT technology.

This paper describes the influence of the atmospheric conditions on the performance of a vehicle. Tests were carried out on the road, under different conditions of ambient temperature, pressure and humidity, measuring the acceleration time. The tested vehicle featured a gasoline-fuelled four-cylinder engine, with variable intake manifold length and multipoint fuel injection. The vehicle was tested at sea level and at an altitude of 827 m above sea level, with the ambient temperature ranging from 20 to 30°C. The times required for the vehicle to go from 80 to 120 km/h, from 40 to 100 km/h and to reach distances of 400 and 1000 m leaving from an initial speed of 40 km/h at full acceleration were recorded. The results showed the vehicle performance to be more affected by changes in the atmospheric pressure than in the temperature. An average difference of 3 per cent in the time to reach 1000 m, leaving from the speed of 40 km/h at full acceleration, was found between the atmospheric pressures tested, for a fixed temperature.

<p>Often modern cars have a collision avoidance system built into them known as Pre-Crash System, or Collision Mitigation System in order to reduce the collision. But majority of vehicles on the road, especially heavy motor vehicles lack in such a system. In this paper, the implementation of the Collision Avoidance System is to reduce the risks of collisions at the hairpin bend on a Hilly track, Ghats, or other Zero visibility turns. The proposed system contains a set of IR sensors, LEDs, etc. It uses four IR sensors, which are placed on either side of the hairpin bend. The sensors are mutually exclusive and are connected to LEDs through wires. Based on the output of sensors, the LEDs will glow and start alerting the other vehicle approaching from the other end, Hence the drivers will decrease their speeds which would help in preventing collision. The LEDs will help the drivers in detecting the position of  the vehicles on either side of the bend. During climatic conditions like fog, snow, etc, the visibility of the drivers would decrease due to which they will not be able to see the LEDs, Hence, a collision may take place. To bring help as soon as possible to the injured, we have also made a proposed system which would alert the nearby hospitals that an accident has taken place. We have used Arduino UNO, GSM sim module and these will be kept inside a black box which will be inside the, car safe from breakage during the accident.<strong></strong></p>

There are a lot of road accidents that occur due to drowsy driving. Drowsy driving is when the driver of a vehicle is found to be sleepy and probable to get into a car crash because of the same. Being drowsy might cause the driver to lose concentration from the road, and also reduce the reaction time. Statistics suggest how thousands of deaths and crashes happen every year due to it. Major victims of such crashes tend to be the commercial drivers who need to drive long distances overnight. Our project intends to propose a solution to this problem by providing an Internet of Things based approach. This approach monitors the driver’s face while he or she is driving the vehicle and in case if the driver is to be found falling asleep, an instant voice call is made to the driver’s registered phone number. Additionally, a text message is also sent to the driver’s emergency contact which will get him/her notified and provide the driver with quick assistance if needed. This approach is unique and different in its own way as it provides cross platform support and remote monitoring of the driver. Additionally, it also makes drowsy-detection ‘device independent’. It offers a simplified mechanism to derive real time accurate results and readings with reduced complexities. This project does have a lot of scope, especially considering that there is a lack of methodologies currently being implemented to prevent road accidents due to drowsy driving. KEYWORDS- Drowsy Driving, Monitoring, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Remote, Algorithm, Eye Aspect Ratio, Python.

This paper uses the context of a longitudinal rural study, which examined the extent of psychological trauma andpredictors of that trauma following road accidents, to highlight issues for road accident survivors. It then outlines whatcounselling and psychological services are currently offered to road accident victims by the insurance companies andby a voluntary agency, the Road Trauma Support Team. Overall it appears that psychological and emotional needs ofsurvivors are not always acknowledged or provided for.

While in the automotive field the relationship between road adherence and tire temperature is mainly investigated with the aim to enhance the vehicle performance in motorsport, the motorcycle sector is highly sensitive to such theme also from less extreme applications. The small extension of the footprint, along with the need to guarantee driver stability and safety in the widest possible range of riding conditions, requires that tires work as most as possible at a temperature able to let the viscoelastic compounds-constituting the tread and the composite materials of the whole carcass structure-provide the highest interaction force with road. Moreover, both for tire manufacturing companies and for single track vehicles designers and racing teams, a deep knowledge of the thermodynamic phenomena involved at the ground level is a key factor for the development of optimal solutions and setup. This paper proposes a physical model based on the application of the Fourier thermodynamic equations to a three-dimensional domain, accounting for all the sources of heating like friction power at the road interface and the cyclic generation of heat because of rolling and to asphalt indentation, and for the cooling effects because of the air forced convection, to road conduction and to turbulences in the inflation chamber. The complex heat exchanges in the system are fully described and modeled, with particular reference to the management of contact patch position, correlated to camber angle and requiring the adoption of an innovative multi-ribbed and multi-layered tire structure. The completely physical approach induces the need of a proper parameterization of the model, whose main stages are described, both from the experimental and identification points of view, with particular reference to non-destructive procedures for thermal parameters definition. One of the most peculiar and challenging features of the model is linked with its topological and analytical structure, allowing to run in real-time, usefully for the application in co-simulation vehicle dynamics platforms, for performance prediction and setup optimization applications.

The backwardness of actuarial techniques in Spain and the lack of Spanish mortality tables had a bearing on the development of life insurance in Spain. The actuaries of the domestic and foreign companies operating in this country used other countries’ mortality tables, corrected upwards, to draw up their policies. With actuarial reports from the Gresham Life Assurance Society, established in Spain in the 1890s, the difficulties actuaries had to confront to adjust expectations to Spanish reality can be followed for decades. On the basis of statistical information from 1896 to 1937, a comparison is made between expected and actual death rates. Furthermore, the information from this company enables a comparison with other countries in which it operated (more developed and less developed than Spain) and with the profit and loss results of other domestic and foreign companies operating in the country. Moreover, the problems caused for actuaries by unforeseen events that affected the Spanish population in particular, such as the “Spanish Influenza” or the Civil War, can also be studied. On the basis of this valuable documentation, certain patterns of the difficulties faced by actuaries operating in economically backward countries before World War II can be established.

<p>The high demand of automobiles has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents. Life of the people is under high risk. This is because of the lack of best emergency facilities available in our country. An automatic alarm device for vehicle accidents is introduced in this paper. This design is a system which can detect accidents in significantly less time and sends the basic information to first aid centre within a few seconds covering geographical coordinates, the time and angle in which a vehicle accident had occurred. This alert message is sent to the rescue team in a short time, which will help in saving the valuable lives. A Switch is also provided in order to terminate the sending of a message in rare case where there is no casualty, this can save the precious time of the medical rescue team. When the accident occurs the alert message is sent automatically to the rescue team and to the police station. The message is sent through the GSM module and the location of the accident is detected with the help of the GPS module. </p>


The accident now happens a few days by car or bike riders, or traffic hazards or any family situation. Accidents resulting from careless driving are increased. When the accident occurs, many people lose their lives because the medical assistance is delayed. Using this black box system this system is designed to detect the basic reason for the accident. Incorporated with GSM, GPS, and sensors. Alcohol sensor detects alcohol and Eye-Blinking sensor conception for sleep while driving the car and using vibration sensor to detect car vibration. Speed is also an important reason why an accident occurred. Using Global Position System knows where the car occurs and uses Global System for Mobile Communication to send alert messages to one of the contact person and nearby hospital and police station. Both GPS and GSM are built into this system. This is connected to the WI-FI network, because GPS will send the location if the accident occurs and GSM will send the message to the contact person and nearby hospital and police station. This system is easy to install under the car because alert message will be sent by the system if an accident occurs. The data for how the accident will occur will be stored in the data base. The base of data is used to justify the accident. For the hypothetical situation this system is used. The system will save human life and decrease the delay of medical assistance.
