ENHANCING EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY OF TRANSPORTATION BY PROVIDING DRIVER ASSISTANCE THROUGH WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Modernization , migration, and globalization increases road usage. The population of the world has been increasing, road traffic has also been getting more and more congested, also increased business activities result in greater demand for cars and vehicles for transportation. With fuel price soaring and potential threats of fuel shortage, we are now faced with greater challenges in the field of transportation systems. Electronics technology impacted the construction of cars, embedding them with sensors and advanced electronics, making cars more intelligent, sensitive and safe to drive on. It will create major economic, social, and global impact through the transformation. Intelligent Transportation uses numerous technologies to assist and manage transportation. We will implement co - ope rative traffic management involving vehicles , wireless sensor network, and roadside infrastructure .Vehicles can detect, and avoid dangerous or unwanted situations. For example, timely notifications about lane changes , and unsafely approaching vehicl es, accident notifications, notifications about dangerous or heavy traffic conditions within a larger region with the help of other vehicles . A key aspect of Intelligent Transportation systems is to expand the time horizon of information relevant to dr iving safety and transportation efficiency, but also introduce new information sources, and improve its quality.
