In this paper we describe a simple car crash detection algorithm implemented on Android smartphones. The algorithm uses accelerometer sensor and location sensor information which are combined to detect typical patterns of car crash situations. We present technical details of our implementation and first results of an evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
