Abstract
A large number of deaths are caused by Traffic accidents worldwide. The global crisis of road safety can be seen by observing the significant number of deaths and injuries that are caused by road traffic accidents. In many situations the family members or emergency services are not informed in time. This results in delayed emergency service response time, which can lead to an individual’s death or cause severe injury. The purpose of this work is to reduce the response time of emergency services in situations like traffic accidents or other emergencies such as fire, theft/robberies and medical emergencies. By utilizing onboard sensors of a smartphone to detect vehicular accidents and report it to the nearest emergency responder available and provide real time location tracking for responders and emergency victims, will drastically increase the chances of survival for emergency victims, and also help save emergency services time and resources.
Highlights
The number of deaths due to traffic accidents is very high
Looking at the number of deaths and injuries due to road traffic accidents shows the global crisis of road safety
Emergency responders’ side application SOSafe Go is developed in Java programming language using Android Studio as IDE
Summary
The number of deaths due to traffic accidents is very high. Looking at the number of deaths and injuries due to road traffic accidents shows the global crisis of road safety. The purpose of this research is to design and implement such an automated system that uses smartphone to detect vehicle accidents and report it to the nearest available responders to help counter these emerging problems and reduce casualties as much as possible. The detection system would help reduce fatalities due to vehicle accidents by decreasing the response time of emergency services. On an emergency responder side, the system will inform responders about the incidents that occur near to them and provide them with real time tracking of emergency victims on a Google map. This will help emergency responders keep track of victim’s location and rescue them as soon as possible. This paper is organized as follows: Section II describes the related works that has been done in the field, Section III presents various technologies that are utilized in our system, Section IV describes questions related to this work, Section V presents the architecture and implementation of the proposed system, Section VI presents front end design of the proposed system, Section VII presents backend design of the system, Section VIII describes performance results and tests performed of the proposed system, Section IX presents contributions of this work and the last Section X is the conclusion and future work for the proposed system
