Smart Car System using Raspberry pi

Abstract

Today's modern cars are becoming more and more connected to online world through the cloud. The main motivation is that the connected cars are able to access, collect and process a wide range of data through the cloud. There is an urgent need for improvement in the delivery of services. Smart car system allows lower traffic congestion by rerouting the vehicles to alternative roads and traffic is reduced significantly. Medical emergency needs can be met by uploading the information to cloud. Similarly vehicle breakdown problems can also be solved. In this paper a smart car system is implemented by using Raspberry pi. Two raspberry pi modules have been used . Either one of two modules can be used as , for transmission or reception of information. Python is the programming language used to implement the system. Four buttons are used to send four different in formation . Dropbox account has been created and is used as a cloud to upload the information. The required message is sent by pressing the right button . The information gets transferred from one raspberry module to another module and also gets uploaded to dropbox account in the form of excel sheet which is accessed through smart phone.
