ABSTRACT
With the growing population and increasing congestion of transport networks, traffic violations are on the rise and therefore it has become critical to implement systems to detect traffic violations and penalties for the violators. Existing systems like speed cameras do help but, their implementation is limited due to various factors like implementation cost and lighting conditions. This creates the need for a system with ease of implementation in a feasible manner. The proposed system takes these factors into consideration. It consists of a primary unit that can be installed into existing vehicles or can be built-in into future versions of the vehicle. The primary unit works by collecting the onboard diagnostic data (OBD data) which provides various parameters of the vehicle such as speed, acceleration, and braking. This data can be combined with the data from various secondary units which can be developed in accordance to help detect specific traffic violations. The data from these secondary units, for example, a secondary unit attached to a light pole in highways that transmits the region’s speed limit can be used by the vehicle for comparison of the vehicle’s speed. If the speed of the vehicle in the primary unit is higher than the speed value provided by the secondary unit, then, the primary unit is capable of generating a message along with the location where the violation occurred and sends this message to servers through the onboard GSM module. The standard operating procedure is followed for the e-Challan generation which is then sent to the vehicle owner or to the registered contact number. This system uses a completely automated approach which makes the system highly accurate in the detection of traffic violations.
