Abstract—Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are new paradigm of wireless communications that aim to exploit the recent advances in wireless devices technology to enable intelligent inter-vehicle communication. There are lots of studies about preventing or detecting the car accidents. Most of them include sensing objects which might cause accident or statistics about accidents. In this study, a system which detects happening accidents will be studied. The system will collect necessary information from neighbor vehicles and process that information using machine learning tools to detect possible accidents. This study aims to analyses traffic behavior and consider vehicles which move different than current traffic behavior as a possible accident. The goal of this system is to detect and warn the driver of potential hazard conditions.
