1.0 Introduction
The Internet of Things may be stated as an important as well as significant technology
that is associated with the modern day technology industry and has attained a great level of
popularity in respect to the technology driven society for the enhancement of many sectors.
This technology tends to provide enhanced level of services to the wide areas of the
technology services that mainly deals with the networked systems or products, which further
effectively analyses the fields of computer system driven sectors. The significant technology
of IoT allows the necessary or required objects to be enhanced for sensing as well as
accessing those devices through remote access methods. The sector of the IoT is being much
more enhanced in modern times in accordance to the efficiency as well as economic benefit
thus reducing the intervention of the humans within the technological sectors (Liang, 2015).
Moreover, it can be depicted that the technology intends to ease the customers for being
facilitated by the new technology for a better use of the technology. This technology is also
used in the sectors, which tends to be automated in the future times.
The focus of this report is to deal with the implementation of the Internet of Things
technology in the sectors of advanced as well as intelligent sectors in the traffic signal sectors
for the restriction of the accidents in the modern day times (Sethi & Sarangi, 2017). The
purpose of this report is to deal with the overall constraints that are related to the prevention
of the accidents as well as tracking system in the field of cars for the safety of the humans as
well as ease of track of any cars in case of car theft or signal breakdown and also in case of
emergence of sudden accidents.

1.1 Aim of the project
The primary aim of the project is to deal with the implementation of the IoT in the
sectors of automobiles or traffic system for the enhancement of the overall systems as well as
restriction of the accidents. The project will aim to achieve the following stated constraints:
 To keep a constant track of the car with the implementation of the IoT technology.
 To minimize the accidents with the help of this technology.
 To utilize the technology for maximizing the potential benefits in respect to this
sector.
1.2 Objective of the project
The primary objectives of the project associated with the implementation of the IoT in
the sectors of the car safety is depicted as follows:
 To provide enhanced level of safety for minimising the rate of accidents that may
occur in future.
 To implement enhance technology that will tend to provide effective solutions to the
intended sector.
2. Research Question
This project intends to put prime focus on the two stated research questions. These
are:
1. How will the IoT implemented cars restrict or minimize the road accidents that are
increasing in the modern times.
2. The future implication of the IoT based accident preventive measures be helpful in
regards to the necessary authorities.

4. Research Methodology
The methodology that is carried out for coping with the meeting of the research
question as stated in this paper may be depicted as the experimental approach as well as the
survey research methods. In the first stated approach, the research has been focused on the
basis or general practical implications that are observed regarding the associated research
area (Aloul et al., 2015). This type of methodology is used for the investigation of the causes
regarding which the accidents are happening more and the technology can be implied in those
areas for the minimization of the accidents (Vardhana et al., 2018). This is a very efficient
methodology as it clearly states the need for the implementation of the project. The next
methodology that is used for carrying out the research is depicted as the survey that has been
carried out by other authors in various articles that states a clear description of the
implemented technologies within the environment of the safety cars.
