Abstract: Road accidents are increasing rapidly throughout the world. In India where road traffic is already heterogenic in nature, incidents of road accidents are more frequent. Various reasons behind it are increasing number of vehicles, improper road and traffic infrastructure etc. vehicular speed is also a major reason behind accidents. To overcome this and to take preventative actions, a better infrastructure and use of intelligent traffic system tools should be used. traffic surveillance system is one such a tool but some techniques of it are quite expensive and need high support and some are less precise.to overcome the problem, a new mechanism is needed to be proposed which should be precise and cost efficient. Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS) requires a distance estimation which is useful in various functions like accident prevention, tailgating detecting and hurdle/obstacle avoidance. Presently RADAR and LIDAR are primarily used in distance estimation which are either quite expensive or gives poor resolution. Present techniques require huge data. Therefore, we propose a system using OpenCV to calculate the distance between cars.
