CAR BLACKBOX SYSTEM

Introduction:

The basic necessity of every human being is food, clothes and good living house (Shelter).  People will find ease and feel happy if they get help when it is really needed. “A friend in NEED is friend INDEED”. Safety and security are utmost important in life. We are considering Black Box for car or any other transportation vehicle. Car Black Box is Event data Recording System and is similar to the data recorder on Airplanes. The Black Box is also known as Evidence Collecting System. The Evidence collecting System is vehicle based device which is used to collect data like Speed, Engine Temperature, Alcohol content, Seatbelt status (wear or not wear), obstacle detection, black films on glass windows etc. It can also capture pictures of people who are travelling in car using webcam like devices which will help the investigators to identify rape cases which are increasing day by day.

 

Car Black Box System

Concept of car black box vehicle safety system will not only record the data, but also gives indication like engine overheating, alcohol consumption etc. We know that Black Box System is use in every aircrafts and record all useful data necessary to analyze particularly when aircraft crashes or get an accident. During car accident we do not have such arrangement so the message is not sent to prescribe mobile numbers. By using mobile apps and Car Black Box, we can reach to nearby help line to provide rescue operation.

In the case of an accident the message is sent through the GSM to prescribed mobile numbers. We can provide password for the purpose of security to access car black box recorded data and secure or prevent the recorded data. Recorded data is used to find out the proper & actual reason behind an accident.

Car Black Box controller receives data from all the listed sensors. Car black box can be kept below the driver sit using five sensors,

  1. Seatbelt sensor - check weather driver wears seatbelt or not. If not buzzer rings and led blinks and message should be displayed on LCD "Piz wear seatbelt".
  2. Alcohol sensor - Detects the smell of alcohol and if alcohol consumed is detected the alarm rings LED blinks and display the MSG on LCD "driver is drunk".
  3. Speed sensor - It is constantly monitored while vehicle is running and when the speed crosses its limit according to the set threshold value alarm rings and LED blinks and displays the MSG on LCD "speed crosses its limit".
  4. Temperature sensor - It constantly checks for temperature of engine with respect to heat of engine and if engine temperature crosses its threshold limit as per the set value LED blinks buzzer rings and message is displayed on LCD "engine is over heated".
  5. Obstacle sensor - Obstacle is detected constantly while vehicle is running and whenever obstacle comes in front of vehicle, sensor senses that obstacle and LED blinks and buzzer rings and display MSG on LCD "please apply breaks".

When finally Accident occurs GSM will work as per programmed step by step:

  1. MSG is sent via GSM to prescribed numbers car owner, nearest police station and hospital.
  2. Users enter password for authentication of black box for accessing recorded data.
  3. Recorded data for all the sensor is checked as per the working of sensor
  1. Seat belt was wear or not checks by seat belt sensor.
  2. Whether driver was drunk or not check by alcohol sensor.
  3. Check for speed through speed sensor.
  4. Engine heat checked by temperature sensor.
  5. Whether accident was due to obstacle is checked through obstacle sensor.

Finally the reason of accident is concluded with the help of all the above recorded data.

The Black Box system built can be implemented in any vehicle. As soon as the driver runs the motor, this system will begin saving the events of the corresponding vehicle. The data saved can be retrieved only after the accident for privacy purposes. Using serial transmission information is displayed to the user.

Conclusion:
There is great continuity in any system. A slight divergence at one point can make a huge difference later. As with trial-and-error method, a successful trial is still successful even if there was no good reason for trying it. So keep trying innovative ideas which are generated in the mind to overcome difficult situation.

Rigid concept can actually create a great number of problems. The need to change idea is becoming more and more obvious as technology speeds up the rate of communication and progress.
