An IoT Based Automatic Vehicle Accident Detection and Rescue System

Abstract

A large variety of precious lives are lost because of road traffic accidents each day that may occur due to the mistake of driver and delayed response from the place of accident to the emergency services. The most important aspect of driver is to own a good road accident detection and data communication system in place to save injured persons. A system that sends information messages to close emergency services regarding the accident location for timely response is completely essential. The accident detection process uses raspberry pi, in detection of the data from the vibration sensor and accelerometer during accident. The process of rescue system uses GSM, in the process of sending message to the neighboring medical Centre or relatives. GPS is used to track the location of the vehicle and used in the calculation of the speed of the vehicle based on the position of (latitude, longitude) and time difference. GSM in the system is used to send the location of accident through message. Vehicle ad-hoc network (Wi-Fi) is used to transfer of the data from the controlling unit to the application server in the later retrieval of data. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol is used to transfer web page from remote server after internet connection is established. The FireBase database is used in the storage of collected data, and uploads over in the web-page and in the process informing the accident location and in alerting.
