Android Application for Automatic Accident Detection

Information Technology

Vehicle Accidents are fact of life. Driver inattention causes most of the vehicle accidents. And these Accidents produces economic cost and social cost, as well as injuries sometimes death as well. Therefore we proposed a scheme called “Accident Prevention and Detection System”. In this project we presents a system that uses smartphones to automatically detect and report vehicle accidents in a timely manner. Data is continuously taken from smartphone’s accelerometer and analyzed using Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW) to determine how badly the accident is happened. It notifies first responders of the accident location and owner's medical information. Responders are the number that is stored as an emergency number in the application. By implementing this application and further adding a notification system, the response time required to notify emergency responders of traffic accidents can reduce the response time and perhaps help in reducing fatalities. Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only available system today able to show one’s own position on the earth any time in any weather, anywhere. In this project addresses this satellite based navigation system at length. An e- Call System it automatically calls the nearest emergency Centre. Even if no passenger is able to speak, a Minimum Set of Data is sent, which includes the exact location of the Accident Site. Shortly after the accident, emergency services therefore know that there has been an accident, and where exactly.
