Intelligent Safety Information Gathering System Using a Smart Blackbox

Abstract

This paper presents an intelligent method to collect the accident or safety information using the widespread blackbox system. Conventionally, when information is needed after an accident or crime happened, investigators seek for possible clues non-systematically by hand. We propose a systematic method of gathering that information using an intelligent blackbox system which analyzes and gathers information of neighboring vehicles while driving. For this purpose, in addition to the functionality of storing the video sequence while driving, we add a recognition engine to extract and record the license plate number and color of neighboring vehicles. We also add the IOT functionality to receive information request message from the server and upload the matched information to the server.
