Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) constitutes an environment where in things interact with each other intellectually to provide useful and meaningful services. The services provided by the IoT systems can be used in wide variety of applications related to health care, transportation, resource management, entertainment, e- shopping, security, etc. Recent advances in IoT is paving the way to the Intelligent transportation wherein the vehicles embedded with the set of sensors can absorb information from the environment (and from the vehicle) and feeding it to drivers and infrastructure to assist in safe driving.This paper presents a report on the prototype design of Smart and Safe Driving Application (SSDA).The proposed Application is designed to avoid fatal road accidents by providing context aware alert information related to fuelstatus, overall condition of the vehicle, objects surrounding the vehicle, traffic rules and drowsiness state of the driver. Majority of the road accidents occurs due to various reasons like drowsiness state of the vehicle driver, position of the vehicle in the traffic, unaware about the speed and condition of the other vehicles nearby, violation of traffic rules, abnormal condition of vehicle parts , abnormal driving of other surrounding vehicles , etc. .In this paper the authors have presented a system of IoT which captures the data from the environment and inside the vehicle using embedded sensors, wireless sensor network and internet to provide the contextual information for the driver to take timely actions for smooth and safety driving.
