RouteGuard: Design and Implementation of an intelligent system for the prevention of automobile accidents in urban areas

Abstract

This thesis presents RouteGuard, an innovative system designed to improve road safety in urban environments. In light of the increasing number of traffic accidents, especially those involving light vehicles, RouteGuard offers a proactive solution based on the intelligent exchange of information between drivers. The system enables real-time tracking of user movements and issues alerts in case of potential collision risks. It combines an embedded device with a mobile application to deliver a smooth and user-friendly experience for drivers. This work explores the challenges of urban road safety, reviews existing preventive systems and their limitations, and outlines the development of a more responsive and adaptable solution. RouteGuard aims to contribute to the reduction of road accidents by enhancing driver awareness and supporting real-time decision-making.
