Intelligent system for vehicular accident detection and notification

Road accidents are a human tragedy. They involve high human suffering and monetary costs in terms of untimely deaths, injuries and loss of potential income. There are so many new techniques such as Antilock Breaking System (ABS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Anti Collision System (ACS) to avoid accidents and in spite of all this, such large number of accidents takes place. Hence this paper presents a system which gives an idea about what can be done to provide medical help and other facilities after accident as soon as possible. Accident can be detected using flex sensor and accelerometer, while location of accident will be informed to desired persons such as nearest hospital, police and owner of vehicle through sms sent using GSM modem containing co-ordinates obtained from GPS along with time of accident and vehicle number. Camera located inside vehicle will transmit real time video to see current situation of passengers inside vehicle. Thus this paper emphasizes on post-accident system for detecting and informing about it. Simulation result on hyper terminal is also presented in this paper.
