IoT based car accident detection and notification algorithm for general road accidents

Abstract

<p>With an increase in population, there is an increase in the number of accidents that happen every minute. These road accidents are unpredictable. There are situations where most of the accidents could not be reported properly to nearby ambulances on time. In most of the cases, there is the unavailability of emergency services which lack in providing the first aid and timely service which can lead to loss of life by some minutes. Hence, there is a need to develop a system that caters to all these problems and can effectively function to overcome the delay time caused by the medical vehicles. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a framework using IoT, which helps in detecting car accidents and notifying them immediately. This can be achieved by integrating smart sensors with a microcontroller within the car that can trigger at the time of an accident. The other modules like GPS and GSM are integrated with the system to obtain the location coordinates of the accidents and sending it to registered numbers and nearby ambulance to notify them about the accident to obtain immediate help at the location.</p>

A new method for vehicles detection and tracking using information and image processing

“…If we try to make an evaluation of our approach compared to the existing works, we can notice that this approach can be applied in real time compared to the different methods which are based on the artificial intelligence [26], [27]. In addition, our method is based on a principle of fusion between the aspect of image processing and information processing 'labels' which gives an advantage over conventional methods based on the aspect of image processing [28], [29].…”

Smart Assistant for Accident Prevention and Rescue

“…The vibration sensor plays a vital role here then the sensor receives the vibrations of the vehicle, which turns into functions as an accident Occurence device. [11] Arduino gets information from all the sensors and delivers the message to the receiver mobile. GSM helps to make the connection between tower and the Rescue team mobile.…”

RescueAlert-an accident detection and rescue mechanism

“…As it receives a signal the message is displayed on the screen. Authors in [27] use accelerometer, vibration sensors and heartbeat sensors to track four cases of accidents mainly being, i) warning to avoid accidents, ii) determining when the car is at rest and the driver is present in the vehicle, iii) when the car is at rest without the driver present, and iv) when the car is moving.…”
