Inspiration

Non-compliance of traffic rules and other violations has been increasing constantly during the recent years. Though traffic control devices and traffic guards have control within city limits, in highways it is a significant problem. With the advent of intelligent vehicular systems, identification and notification of accidents can save invaluable human-life.

What it does

It automates supervision of motorways to allow the relevant authorities to verify traffic violators, insurance backlogs, non-renewal of registration for old vehicles, stolen vehicles and for any other cases that could have been filed. Record traffic violator details in Salesforce Cloud. It also notifies major accidents encountered to the nearby hospital, owner and police patrol.

How we built it

A dummy website mimicking traffic information is hosted using WebHost000 is designed for insurance details and police records. The automation is designed as a Snippet workflow in UiPath Studio. Static image frames are considered for screen scrapping and the scrapped vehicle number plate using OCR is stored in the relevant workbooks. The vehicle number is scanned for traffic violation and if so then an SMS notification (Twilio Activity) is sent to the authorities and owner pertaining to the type of traffic violation. The traffic violation details are pushed to Cloud for persistant storage using Salesforce Automation. At the outset accidents are also identified through the mounted Arduino prototype with Peizo vibration sensor and GPS device. The vibration and GPS values are also pushed to Cloud using Salesforce Automation. It is followed by importing the vibration and location values using Salesforce Connector Activity in UiPath Go, to determine the type of action. If the vibration value is less than 100 then it is a major accident and the same is notified to the nearby hospital, owner and Police Patrol for immediate intervention.

Challenges we ran into

• Scrapping images of vehicle number plates • Importing custom activities for SMS notification • Salesforce automation

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Preethi Harris -UiPath International certification • Bhavesh Gupta-UiPath diplomas in level 1 & level 2 • Karthik Prabhu-UiPath diplomas in level 1 & level 2

What we learned

• How to use Robotic Process Automation using UiPath studio to realworld problems • Screen scrapping and data scrapping of details • Handling Excel Workbook activities • Salesforce automation • Twilio SMS activity

What's next for Back to Future: Intelligent Motorways

In the proposed prototype the traffic violators are notified via SMS the type of violation and the fine incurred. The future enhancement can include automatic online fine payment, for traffic violators through Payment gateway(s).
