Abstract

The sudden increase in vehicular traffic and congestion on the highways become threatening to safety and efficient\nmovement of traffic. As a result there is an ascending rate of accidents, which leads to exploiting new technologies e.g.\nwireless sensor network has become most reliable, safety and secured technique of these saddening and reprehensible\nstatistics. This has motivated to propose a model and comprehensive approach to utilize Wireless Sensor Networks for\nvehicular networks. Vehicular AdHoc Network’s are the standard phenomenon to provide safety and for secured applications.\nIt plays an important role as a part of intelligent transport system. It is a self-organizing AdHoc network where sensor nodes\nare deployed in large number. It increases safety and comfort for vehicles by making an efficient use of wireless\ncommunication between stationary nodes and the nodes under motion. In the proposed model, pressure sensors deployed in\nthe vehicle senses the pressure continuously. On occurrence of accidents, the pressure increases above the threshold and\ninforms the vehicles in the vicinity by the buzzer. Also it sends a notification to the specified receivers and base stations.
