Immediate Response System in Case of Raod Accidents

Abstract

Every day, a large number of people die from accident injuries. An effective approach to reduce this is to reduce the time between an accident and alert notification to the desired person. Recent approaches use built-in vehicle accident detection and notification system. These approaches work well but they are not easily available in all the cars. Whereas, to detect traffic accidents using smartphones is possible now because of the advances in connectivity and sensors deployed on the smartphones. The aim is to reduce the response time using Internet of Things . The proposed system includes two phases the detection phase which detects car accident in all speeds. The notification phase, immediately after an accident is detected, is used to send detailed information such as accident location to the emergency responder for fast recovery. This report includes two objectives of using smartphone-based accident detection systems. First, it provides solutions to key issues such as preventing false positives by polling onboard sensors to detect large accelerations. Second, it presents the system design of the prototype smartphone-based accident notification system.
