      The main aim of the project is to provide an effective way of reducing road accidents caused by cars wrongly parked and also damaged vehicles also abandoned along the various road stretches found in the country. My team achieved this by using modern communication tools to build a device that will be used in vehicles. When triggered it takes the coordinates at that particular time, compares with coordinates of other vehicles with the device to see if they fall within a 1000m radius, and then displays those coordinates on a map to alert road users.
