A Survey on Smartphone-Based Accident Reporting and Guidance Systems

Abstract

Every day, around the world, a large percentage of people die from road accidents and falls. One of the reasons for a person's death during accidents is the unavailability of first aid, due to the delay in informing about the accident. Thus, in the case of incidents involving vehicles or falls, response time is crucial for the timely provision of emergency medical services. An effective approach intended to reduce the number of trafficrelated deaths is: the use of a system for detecting and reporting the occurred accidents, as well as reducing the time between the occurrences of an accident and sending the first emergency respondents to the scene of the accident. This paper presents a recent study on mobile terminal solutions (smartphones) for detecting and preventing accidents (road, falls, bicycles) and systematic comparisons of existing solutions.

Accident Detection and Disaster Response Framework Utilizing IoT

“…The difference of our projected system is shown in Table 1. Our proposed system is compared with other studies Paper A [17] and Paper B [18].…”

“…The correlation of our proposed framework is shown in Table 1. The proposed framework is compared with different papers (Paper A [17] and Paper B [18]). According to the victim's opinion, in case of a mortal accident, the injured person commonly is not capable to contact the rescue by himself, especially in those areas which are not located in the city or not much populated.…”

“…Smart cell phones are always present with their possessors and can signify an accident, even though if the vehicles somehow are not engaged in the accident. Plus smart phone uses integrated sensors [17] (such as accelerometer, GPS, gyroscope, etc.) which help in getting a rich variety of data.…”

Functionalities of Mobile Solutions for Preventing Road Traffic Health and Safety Issues in the Context of Information Management Cycle

“…The proliferation of technological advancements has resulted in an increasingly diverse array of sensors and associated solutions that are capable of capturing, processing, and transmitting data ( 9 ). Mobile systems are comprised of portable end-user terminals that are not bound to a specific location and are equipped with wireless connectivity to access information resources and services.…”

“…Modern smartphones are typically outfitted with a range of sensors, including high-resolution cameras, microphones, compasses, accelerometers, 3-axis gyroscopes, GPS receivers, and high-speed Wi-Fi/3G/4G/5G connectivity. The set of features present in smartphones provides diverse functionalities, such as recording the user’s geographical location and movement, which can aid in enhancing app development and improving app functionalities ( 9 ). Mobile solutions can be considered as a cost-effective alternative for utilization in the health and safety domains, owing to their enhanced processing capabilities, action detection, low cost, and, most importantly, their ability to capture diverse data ( 9 ).…”
