Abstract

Boating is a popular activity, and there are millions of boaters worldwide. Boat accidents are just as likely to occur as car accidents. Every day we hear many stories about boat trips that ended up tragically. Boaters can keep themselves and their passengers safe by learning about responsible boat operation, etiquette, and the rules of the waterways. In this paper, we propose a safety and accident prevention system for boat owners. Just as big automotive companies are developing technologies to help prevent accidents on roads, it would be a good idea to implement these safety measures for boats as well. The proposed system offers several features including a smart radar system, a crash detection system, and an application connected to the Coast Guard. The proposed system would help reduce or at least minimize boat accidents and save lives.
