Abstract

The explosion of mobile phone growth has been significant over the past couple of decades but it has been clear that impact on this form of mobile communication having on driving. In today's world, number of accidents is due to distracted driving especially on usage of mobile phone while driving which has been determined as the major cause of automobile accidents. With the aim of preventing road accidents occurrence due to mobile phone usage while driving, we propose a highly efficient automatic electronic system for early detection of incoming or outgoing call, an antenna located on the top of driver seat used for detecting when the driver uses mobile phone and a low range mobile jammer is used with its range covers only driver seat which prevent drivers from receiving base stations signals. The activation of jammer unit will take approx. 20-30 sec. In order to avoid user from talking on cell phone during these timeframe, ATMAL AT89C52 microcontroller along with ND R433 transmitter is used to transmit the vehicle number plate information to the receiver RXD1 which is placed on the signal post. The obtain data will be displayed on LCD so that traffic police can take legislative action against the driver.
