ACCIDENT DETECTION & ALERT MESSAGING –ANDROID APP

Abstract

Accidents are the main cause of fatalities. These can occasionally lead to patients staying in the hospital for an extended period of time. Because of the witnesses` late arrival at the scene of the accident, the victim frequently dies. In this project, a real-time Police and ambulance drivers will be informed and given an alert system as a remedy to this issue. In order to detect falls, mobile phones are employed as readily available technical instruments. For fall detection, an Android smart phone with an embedded accelerometer is employed. The phone`s vibration frequency will be evaluated by the accelerometer in order to determine the frequency of the fall. Various factors, including vibration frequency and height, are taken into account while evaluating the threshold. A pop-up notice is displayed for the user`s input if it exceeds the predetermined threshold. The next step is decided upon by the user`s response. If users don`t answer within a given time frame, an alarm and notification will be promptly sent to the necessary pre-specified people, whose contacts the user gave while enrolling for the programme. Drivers of the police car and am balance are also provided an alert and notice, or SMS, with the location of the victim`s accident. The technology described in this research uses an intuitive, straightforward Android app to detect fall at a low cost.
