Design and Implementation of Driver Alerting and Accident Recording System

Significant development in urbanized cities causes vehicle ownership to grow with rapid rate. As a result, the saturation of vehicle in dense cities leads to insufficient transportation infrastructure, which causes an increase in road accident occurrences. The condition of vehicle and driver such as poor engine operation system, speeding, reckless driving, drowsy driving, drunken driving are the factors of accidents. Vehicle monitoring system is thus very important to be deployed as an effort for accident prevention to reduce the number of road accidents. By placing the camera inside the car, we can monitor and record the behaviour of vehicles in front of the car. The cars are detected within Region of interest (ROI) which indicates that the car is very close to nearer car. In such a case, a warning signal should be issued. This paper describes how to find and track the cars using image processing. We also describe a method that can detect the Pedestrian and Number plate detection.
