Automatic Accident Detection and Human Rescue System: Assistance Through Communication Technologies

Abstract

With the rapid growth of population vehicles have become an absolute necessity of our daily life. Increasing vehicles causes lots of accidents and loss of life due to late information reaching to the rescue team and arrival of an ambulance. This paperpresents an Automatic Accident Detection and Human Rescue System (AADHRS) that will detect accidents and save the victims' life by informing the rescue team. Vibration sensor, Global System for Mobile (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS) are used in this system. After taking places of an accident, the system delivers a short message to a nearby rescue team and police station via GSM module. The message includes the longitude and latitude values of the location. A rescue team can instantly trace the location of the vehicle tapping geographical coordinates in Google earth or any other GPS viewer application to help wounded people. Most of the previous system comprised of multiple sensors for detecting accident which increased the cost of the project. But, the proposed model includes only one vibration sensor; thus it reduces the cost of multiple sensor and the complexity of interfacing. So, it will be affordable for vehicle owners of Bangladesh.
