Prototyping of Multi-Factors Based Vehicle Accident Detection and Reporting System Relying on GPS and GS

Abstract

Several car accidents are reported everyday worldwide, and many fatalities and injuries occur that can be predicted and prevented. This paper does not focus on those accidents that get reported, but instead it focuses on the accidents that do not get reported and result in major injuries and fatalities that can be avoided by simple notification that can be sent to the right people at the right time, so that help can be sent even if the people in need of it are not capable of requesting it. The proposed system can be considered as a tool for the safety of the car passengers in addition to the already existing seat belts. The optimum speed of arrival of the help is achieved in this work by implementing GPS such that a website link that contains the exact location of the accident is sent in order to find the location of the accident instantly without having the people involved in the accident to have to report their location. This paper aims mainly to design a system that can detect one of three cases, the first one is when there is an accident and the air bags do not deploy, while the second case is when there is an accident, and the air bags are deployed, and the third case is an SOS message in case there was a need for it. Of course, there might happen a small accident that does not require the system to send a notification, so there is a switch that can be pushed in order to prevent the system from sending faulty alarms.
