Abstract

A black box system in vehicles acts as an important tool that records important information to make vehicles safer, investigate accidents, and even improve the overall performance of the vehicles. This study will present the Black Box System that has been developed using ESP32 microcontrollers for cars to enhance data collection and analysis in automotive fields using technology. The Black Box System or Event Data Recorder (EDR) is an important tool in the enhancement of road safety, investigation of accidents, and evaluation of the performance of a vehicle. The system utilizes ESP32 as the main microcontroller since it is cost-effective, efficient, and can be programmed in multiple ways. It comprises several sensors and data acquisition modules to collect key parameters including speed, acceleration, geographical location, engine, and various diagnostic information about the vehicle. This paper also presents a detailed overview and integration of the system into Hardware and software parts of the automobile. A user-friendly interface facilitates data retrieval and analysis, supporting applications in fleet management, driver behavior monitoring, and accident investigations. The study focuses on the responsibility and protection of personal data, as well as ways of protecting personal data from misuse and violation of the law. Therefore, using ESP32 technology in the vehicle’s Black Box System is a great improvement towards road safety and vehicle monitoring. By ensuring data security and privacy, this system provides the users with a complete data set to support a decision-making process for self-employed drivers and other organizations.
