Abstract: This paper focuses on developing a novel and non-intrusive abnormal behavior detection system exhibited by drivers, to prevent accidents from happening. This system defines a framework for a new context aware driving behavior model capable of predicting driver’s behavior. This approach broadens the cognitive focus of existing driving behavior models to integrate contextual information related to the vehicle, environment, driver and the interactions between them. The system has an “On Board Module" which resides in the vehicle. During the vehicle movements the module will continuously record the parameters of the sensor and detect the eye using image processing technique. If any abnormal values are identified then it will alert the user and transmits the location of the vehicle to the concerned authority using GPS and GSM Modules. Keywords: Raspberry Pi, GSM, GPS, USB Camera. I. INTRODUCTION mainly that of improving driving safety and reducing the Driver errors due to being affected by fatigue, being drunk, driver’s capacity and capability. Advance driver assistance or being reckless are the main factors responsible for most system is used for increasing the safety of driving cars which road accidents. In order to reduce the number of traffic construes traffic situations independently and support the accidents and to improve the safety and efficiency of the driver. Hence there is a need to design a system which will traffic, the researches and companies on Intelligent overcome above problems. Transportation System (ITS) have been conducted worldwide for many years. Intelligent vehicle(IV) system is a component II. HARDWARE of the ITS system, which aims to assist drivers in perceiving A.

The system has Secure Digital (SD) (models A and B) or MicroSD (models A+ and B+) sockets for boot media and persistent storage In the figure 1, Raspberry Pi is connected to the USB port.In the PC, Raspbian operating system is installed. Raspberry-pi works only on Raspbian operating system , Linux., Raspbian is a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your Raspberry Pirun. However, Raspbian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 35,000 packages, pre-compiled software bundled in a nice format for easy installation on your Raspberry Pi.Putty configuration and VNC viewer are needed to install Raspbian OS . Putty configuration is SSH and Telnet client .It is a open source software that is available with source code.

One of the reasons is that conventional methods such as survey based studies or patent co-citation analysis do not work in the open source communities. In this thesis it will be shown that open source development is very accessible to study, due to its open nature, but it requires special tools. In particular, this thesis introduces the method of dependency graph analysis to study open source software devel- opment on the grandest scale. A proof of concept application of this method is done and has delivered many significant and interesting results.

    Master Thesis \ The GeoSharing project: An Openmoko geoposition sharing system " June 2011 This document was presented to the Louvain School of Engineering in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING Supervisor: Pr. Marc Lobelle Authors: Lamouline Laurent Nuttin Vincent Universit´ecatholique de Louvain \ In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; In practice, there is. " { Chuck Reid Nous remercions chaleureusement le Professeur Marc Lobelle, notre promoteur ainsi que S´ebastienComb´efiset Xavier Carpent pour leur guidance ´eclair´ee. Abstract Geo-positioning systems provide a way to locate objects or persons on Earth. Geo- positioning systems can be used in the scope of social networks allowing users to share their location at any time with their friends. They can also be used by rescue or military units. Because the GeoSharing project aims to provide a wireless real-time location system that can be deployed everywhere, independently of infrastructure and because nodes are susceptible to be in constant movement, the challenging part of this project is to maintain a consistent network topology in order to be able to reach each node at any time to share geographical positions. In order to fit more critical application fields, the system must also be secured. The first version of GeoSharing is released for Openmoko Neo FreeRunner devices. It provides a secured way to share geographical positions over a wireless network. The network topology management is assured by a Linux dæmon implementing the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol which is suitable for Mobile Ad Hoc NETwork (MANET).

  • The Most Common Mobile Operating Systems Are: Android from Google Inc. (Open Source, Apache) Blackberry OS from RIM
    The most common mobile operating systems are: Android from Google Inc. (open source, Apache) BlackBerry OS from RIM (closed source, proprietary) iOS from Apple Inc. (closed source, proprietary) Symbian OS from the Symbian Foundation (open public license) Windows Phone from Microsoft (closed source, proprietary) webOS from HP (certain parts open sourced) Android from Google Inc. (open source, Apache) Android was developed by a small startup company that was purchased by Google Inc. Released on November 5th 2007 Android is an open source, Linux-derived OS backed by Google, along with major hardware and software developers (such as Intel, HTC, ARM, Samsung, Motorola and eBay, to name a few) Android releases prior to 2.0 (1.0, 1.5, 1.6) were used exclusively on mobile phones. Android 3.0 was a tablet-oriented release and does not officially run on mobile phones. Android releases are nicknamed after sweets or dessert items like Cupcake (1.5), Frozen Yogurt (2.2), Honeycomb (3.0) and Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0). Most major mobile service providers carry an Android device. 1. What is Android? Android is a software platform and an operating system for mobile devices, The first device running Android is T-Mobile G1 officially released on October 22nd 2008. 2. I want to develop for Android. What are the basics I need to know? Android requires knowledge of Java programming language although it allows other programming languages (C C++for example) to be compiled in the native code. This however is not officially supported by Google.

  • Smartphone Operating Systems Feature Comparison
    Computer Applications Mobile Operating Systems (MOS) Prof: Muhammad Moazam Ali Group Name: Twinkle 2 By: Hassam Rasheed (Leader) BAT11327 Daniyal Ali BAT11362 Junaid Siddique BAT11318 Umair Tariq BAT11315 Mobile Operating System A mobile operating system, also known as a mobile OS, a mobile platform, or a handheld operating system, is the operating system that controls a mobile device or information appliance—similar in principle to an operating system such as Windows, Mac OS, or Linux that controls a desktop computer or laptop. However, they are currently somewhat simpler, and deal more with the wireless versions of broadband and local connectivity, mobile multimedia formats, and different input methods. Typical examples of devices running a mobile operating system are Smartphone, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet computers and information appliances, or what are sometimes referred to as smart devices, which may also include embedded systems, or other mobile devices and wireless devices. Today's mobile devices are multi-functional devices capable of hosting a broad range of applications for both business and consumer use. PDAs and the ever-growing category of smart phones allow people to access the Internet for e-mail, instant messaging, text messaging and Web browsing, as well as work documents, contact lists and more. Mobile devices are often seen as an extension to your own PC. Work done on the road or away from the office can be synchronized with your PC to reflect changes and new information. History The increasing importance of mobile devices has triggered intense competition among technology giants, like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Nokia in a bid to capture the bigger market share pre-emptively.
