Road Safety Approach to Mitigating the Accidents in Vehicular Networks

The steady increase in the death tolls due to road accidents has gained a significant research attention from both academia and industries. The main reason behind road accidents is vehicle collision. In particular, to model the effect of accidents, the rear-end collisions can be analyzed by using vehicle location and speed. Moreover, the speed, direction, distance between cars, and relative speed of each vehicle simulator in various accident/collision scenarios in automobile networks must be investigated and analyzed. A safety system has been designed to reduce the probability of accidents. The proposed technique estimates the impact of a vehicular collision by considering: pedestrian crossings, interval between collisions, and accident avoidance at intersections. The proposed method is dependent on a novel criterion to determine accidents with 92.6% accuracy. Cases with a 7.4% chance of occurrence allow the passive safety system to help people survive and prevent injury in the case of an emergency.
