Road Safety Assistant

Project Overview

  • This project aims to enhance road safety by preventing accidents caused by hazardous conditions such as black ice, children’s school zones, and pedestrian accident-prone areas. The Traffic Safety Assistant App combines real-time data with advanced alert systems to guide drivers and ensure their awareness in high-risk areas.

  • Built using Android Studio for optimal integration with Google services such as Maps API.

    Features user-friendly interfaces with real-time location and hazard notifications

    • Google Maps API for location tracking.

    • Web scraping techniques for live weather data acquisition.

    • Condition-based logic for customized warnings depending on area-specific risks.

  • Black Ice Prevention:

    • Utilizes location data and weather conditions (temperature and humidity) to identify and alert drivers when entering black ice-prone areas.

    • Sends warnings when specific conditions (temperature ≤ 0°C and humidity ≥ 80%) are met.

    Children’s School Zone Safety:

    • Focuses on times with high accident rates (e.g., school dismissal hours: 2 PM to 6 PM).

    • Alerts drivers entering school zones during these high-risk times.

    Pedestrian Accident Prevention:

    • Integrates pedestrian accident-prone zones into its system using data from traffic safety maps.

    • Provides audio-visual alerts when drivers approach these areas.
