In India, transport becomes a basic commodity of daily life. As transportation starts increasing, safety has become a major concern for consumers. This paper mainly aims at reducing the fatalities caused due to accidents occurring in roadways. In general, many lives could be saved if emergency service could get accurate accident location and rescue the injured people at the minimum possible time. The Internet of Things has revlontinsed the modern world in recent times. As Global Positioning System has become an integral part of any vehicle system, this effective method is utilized to monitor the location of vehicles and send accident locations to an Accidents Monitoring and Rescue Services Centre (AMRSC) using GSM. The Accelerometer located in the vehicle system gives the live status of the vehicle position while the vehicle is in motion. Whenever an accident occurs, the signal from the accelerometer is fed to the controller. The Node MCU controller is programmed to check whether the accident has occurred and given the information to the user and AMRSC as soon as possible. Now, the system will also send the accident location acquired from the GPS along with the vehicle details through the GSM network to AMRSC. After receiving the alert message from the infected user vehicle system, the rescue team will reach the accident location as soon as possible by reading the data from the server.

Among the list of reliability issues in Photovoltaic (PV) systems, partial shading is one of the crucial issues that affect the row current creating a wide range of current differences between rows these results in reduced output power and panel life span by creating hotspots. It also creates difficulty in tracking the power, because of multiple hotspot peaks obtainable in PV and IV (Current-Voltage) curves. Physical relocation of panels during shade occurrence is not an encouraging solution because of rooftop solar and domestic PV systems, where the area for PV installation is a ceiling. The optimization-based controller is retrofitted for the electrical relocation of panels. It is developed based on the Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA), which aims to reduce the row current difference with a minimum reposition of panels as constraints. For the 9*9 PV arrangement, the row current ranges from 3.747 A to 8.424 A. It is reduced and almost made zero. Hence, the Fill factor raises from 38.073 to 51.707%. The power output is enhanced by about 20%. To prove the algorithm’s novelty a shading case for 4*3 asymmetric array arrangement is also considered for simulation studies. The proposed system proves to be economically beneficent for PV users. The performance of CSA is compared with PSO, Skyscraper, and SuDoKu. An economic analysis is carried out that adds the PV efficiency value to the proposed CSA algorithm. The real-time experimental validation holds good for 3*3 solar array agreement with theoretically simulated results.
