Unsafe Driving Detection System using Smartphone as Sensor Platform

Unsafe driving mainly includes driving either rashly or driving under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol, is a major cause of traffic accidents throughout the world. In this paper, we suggest a highly efficient system which helps at early detection and alert of dangerous vehicle maneuvers typically related to rash driving. The entire system requires only a mobile phone which will be placed in vehicle and with its inbuilt accelerometer and orientation sensor. After installing a program on the mobile phone, it will compute accelerations based on sensor readings and compares them with typical unsafe driving patterns extracted from real driving tests.
