A framework for efficacy in lane discipline management using hybrid approach

Abstract

In the current scenario, accidents are occurring more in number. The occurrence of accidents is more in rural areas when compared to cities. Careless driving and violation of road safety rules are the major causes of such accidents. Single lane roads are common in rural areas. In such roads, the vehicles drivers don't follow lane discipline as there is less population density. Also in case of any accidents, there are fewer chances of people nearby the accident scene to witness the accident and report it to the nearby emergency service. In such cases, helping the victims becomes a difficult task. This increases the number of deaths in accidents. If some safety measures are implemented, such accidents can be avoided. A framework for lane discipline management using hybrid technology is proposed to enhance safer driving on single lane roads and to make people strictly follow the lane discipline. In this framework, the GPS, vehicular ad hoc networks and LTE technologies are used to track the vehicles violating lane discipline and to alert emergency services in case of accidents.
