Smart Accident Detection & Emergency Alert System Using Smartphone Sensors

Abstract

Road Accidents Are A Major Cause Of Injuries And Fatalities Worldwide, Often Resulting In Severe Consequences Due To Delays In Emergency Response And Medical Assistance. Immediate Detection And Notification Of Accidents Are Essential To Ensure Timely Intervention And Improve The Chances Of Survival For Victims. Traditional Accident Reporting Methods Depend On Manual Reporting By Witnesses Or Victims, Which May Not Always Be Possible In Critical Situations. This Project Proposes A Smart Accident Detection And Emergency Alert System Using Mobile Sensors That Utilizes The Built-in Sensors Available In Modern Smartphones To Automatically Detect Accidents And Notify Emergency Contacts. The System Monitors Sensor Data Such As Accelerometer, Gyroscope, And GPS Location To Identify Sudden Impacts, Abnormal Motion Patterns, Or Abrupt Changes In Movement That May Indicate A Potential Accident. When Such An Event Is Detected, The System Automatically Triggers An Alert Mechanism That Sends An Emergency Message Along With The Victim’s Real-time Location To Predefined Contacts Or Emergency Services. By Integrating Sensor Data Analysis With Real-time Location Tracking, The Proposed System Provides A Reliable And Cost-effective Solution For Automatic Accident Detection And Emergency Alert Generation. The System Aims To Reduce Emergency Response Time, Improve Road Safety, And Enhance The Chances Of Timely Medical Assistance For Accident Victims.
