Vehicle Crash Detector Kit v4
Vehicle Crash Detector Kit v4 – Raspberry Pi 5 GPS & IMU Driving Behaviour Classifier
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a device that detects harsh braking, speeding, and driver fatigue in real time — without installing anything in a real vehicle. The Vehicle Crash Detector Kit v4 pairs a Raspberry Pi 5 with a GPS module, accelerometer, and OBD simulator to create a complete automotive safety proof-of-concept. Train a machine learning model that classifies driving events and triggers alerts, all from your workbench.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a compact IoT node that reads simulated vehicle data (speed, RPM, location, acceleration) and uses a trained model on the Pi 5 to flag risky driving patterns. The system can display alerts on a screen or log events to the NVMe SSD for later analysis. It’s ideal for prototyping smart fleet safety solutions or as a project for automotive hackathons.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing GPS and IMU sensors with the Raspberry Pi 5 over I2C and UART.
- Simulating OBD-II data streams with a programmable OBD simulator.
- Collecting and labeling sensor data to train a driving behaviour classifier.
- Deploying a lightweight ML model on a Pi 5 with fast NVMe storage.

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE, CSE) working on automotive IoT projects, especially those participating in Smart India Hackathon or preparing for final‑year prototypes. CBSE Class 12 students taking AI or computer science electives will also find it a compelling real‑world application. It’s an excellent platform for IIT, NIT, VIT, and BITS teams to test vehicle safety algorithms without needing access to a car.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Simply scan the QR code for the AI build companion, which provides step-by-step guidance specific to this kit. You can also reach our support team on WhatsApp for personalized help.
Can I connect this kit to a real car instead of the simulator?
The included OBD simulator generates realistic data for safe prototyping. To interface with a real vehicle, you would need a physical OBD-II adapter and modify the wiring; the kit’s sensors and Pi 5 serve as an excellent foundation for that upgrade.
Does the kit come with pre-trained models for crash detection?
The kit includes sample data and code to train a basic classifier, but you build and tune the model yourself. The AI build companion walks you through data collection, labeling, and training using the Pi 5’s processing power.
Is the NVMe SSD necessary, or can I use a microSD card?
The NVMe SSD via the M.2 HAT+ is crucial for fast read/write of large sensor logs and model storage, preventing bottlenecks during real-time classification. A microSD card is not included; the SSD ensures reliable performance for AI workloads.
Automotive Safety — GPS, accelerometer and OBD simulator data on Pi 5 classify driving behaviour — harsh braking, speeding and fatigue alerts.
