M2M Emergency Help Alert Mobile Cloud Architecture

Abstract

Emergency situations are unfortunately part of our lives. Today's smart computing allow us handle such situations and fulfill our requirements more efficiently and effectively. This paper presents architecture to handle various kinds of emergency situations more efficiently and effectively, by allowing the user (victim or witness) easy and quick way to alert the concerned department (s) with just a single button press. The service automatically sends the location of incident and contacts the appropriate emergency dealing department automatically through already stored contact numbers. The emergency related information is then synchronized automatically to the mobile cloud, allowing further analysis and improvement in safety of people and creates further services for the concerned authorities and users. Performance in most certain scenarios is also evaluated and presented in this study.
