Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communication (ISCC) Conference Start Date: 2015, July 6 Conference End Date: 2015, July 9 Conference Location: Larnaca, Cyprus Road fatalities in Saudi Arabia are expected to reach an alarming rate of one death per hour in 2015. In this paper, we describe a framework for vehicular sensing that is directly aimed at instilling safe driving. The presented architecture utilizes access to vehicle's CAN-Bus through an OBD-II connector. The access is processed using both on-vehicle smartphone and in-the-cloud processing. Road conditions (e.g., potholes, speedbumps, slowdowns, etc.) are recognized and utilized to classify roads using a threshold-based engine. The proposed framework is designed with strong emphasis on extendability, and a service application providing drivers with Quailty of Road (QoR) status is demonstrated.
