Smart Application for the Detection of Road Conditions While Driving

Many drivers do texting while driving (T&D) and it is very dangerous. Several mobile phone applications are created and designed to detect T&D. It should be able to distinguish the mobile phones of the drivers from the passengers. Existing solutions find the driver's location only with the help of devices and manual input. This paper provides a method to detect the Texting while Driving (T&D) in an automatic way without the use of any kind of devices. The idea is that when a user is creating messages, the embedded sensors of a smartphone gathers the associated information like touch strokes, holding the speed of the vehicle and orientation. This information is evaluated and analyzed to see the availability or existence of some kind of specific patterns. The obtained results from many experiments reveal that our method can have a better detection accuracy and low false positive rate. The method preserves privacy and does not access any of the contents of messages.
