Smart Car with Internet of ThingBlur image

As part of the “Topik Khusus” course, my classmates and I developed a project involving the Internet of Things (IoT). The result of this collaborative effort was a system we named SmartCar — a safety-focused application designed to enhance the driving experience by preventing accidents, reducing criminal risks, and allowing remote monitoring of vehicle conditions.

The SmartCar system was developed to provide real-time feedback to the driver, while also offering a way for third parties — such as parents or relatives — to monitor the state of the vehicle through a mobile or web interface. This system not only supports safer driving habits but also acts as a guardian against potential dangers on the road.

SmartCar Mechanism

Key Features of SmartCar:#

  1. Location Tracking
    Real-time GPS tracking of the car’s location, viewable through the SmartCar dashboard.

  2. Safe Distance Detection
    Detects the distance to the vehicle ahead to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions.

  3. Temperature & Humidity Monitoring
    Monitors cabin or engine temperature and humidity levels to alert users of unsafe conditions.

  4. Vibration Detection
    Detects unusual vibrations that could indicate sudden impacts or tampering.

  5. Notification & Promotion System
    Sends relevant notifications and promo messages to users based on context and location.

  6. Panic Button System
    When pressed, this emergency feature captures an image of the surrounding area and sends it — along with the latest data from all features — to a connected mobile or web app for immediate action.

The combination of these features transforms an ordinary vehicle into a smart, connected, and secure system, increasing awareness and responsiveness during driving.

For further details on how the system was planned and built, you can read our complete project documentation below:
