CONNECTED CARS

Abstract

In the realm of automotive safety, the 
"Connected Cars" project seeks to address a 
critical gap in real-time communication and 
information sharing between vehicles 
during emergency situations. The current 
landscape lacks a standardized and 
integrated system that enables immediate 
awareness of an emergency condition in 
one vehicle by another nearby vehicle. This 
absence of a cohesive communication 
framework poses a significant risk to 
human life, as timely responses to 
emergencies are often hindered. The 
primary issue arises from the lack of a 
standardized protocol for vehicles to share 
critical information seamlessly. In the 
absence of such a system, the potential for 
accidents and delays in response time 
during emergencies remains high. The 
project aims to resolve this problem by 
employing NodeMCUs, designated as 
server and client units, to establish a 
communication link between vehicles. 
Moreover, the absence of a reliable and standardized method for vehicles to convey 
their emergency status to nearby vehicles 
compounds the challenges. Traditional 
communication methods, such as honking 
or flashing hazard lights, may not 
effectively convey the urgency or specific 
details of the emergency
