• 

  PROTOTYPE

Inspiration

"Blackbox ensures safer roads and smarter driving by combining advanced safety features and efficient vehicle data management. Drive with confidence, knowing your safety is our priority."

What it does

The Blackbox enhances road safety by integrating advanced features into vehicles, ensuring a smarter driving experience. It actively manages and utilizes vehicle data, promoting safer roads and providing drivers with added confidence on their journeys.

How we built it

We developed the Blackbox by implementing a real-time accident data recording system using an onboard camera. Our solution leverages an STM32 microcontroller to interface with diverse sensors and communication devices. This ensures the capture and storage of critical accident-related information. Integrated crash detection, temperature monitoring, and gas leakage sensors provide comprehensive data. The recorded information is stored on an SD card and can be transmitted via IoT for internet connectivity. Real-time sensor data is displayed on an I2C LCD module. The system also incorporates GPS for location tracking and GSM for transmitting accident data to authorities or designated contacts. This innovative technology marks a significant step forward in accident data collection, seamlessly integrating IoT, GPS, and the ESP32 CAM camera system.

Challenges we ran into

The development of the Blackbox system faces challenges in integrating complex technologies, calibrating diverse sensors, ensuring data security and regulatory compliance, managing power consumption, designing a user-friendly interface, addressing cost constraints, ensuring reliability under varying conditions, and dealing with network connectivity issues for data transmission. Ongoing software updates and maintenance are also essential for sustained effectiveness.
