ACCIDENT DETECTION AND ALERT SYSTEM USING ANDROID APPLICATION

Abstract

Deaths primarily result from accidents.They can occasionally cause the patients to spend a lot of time in the hospital.The victim will frequently die as a result of the witnesses' slow response time at the scene of the accident.This paper offers a prompt resolution to this issue by giving police and ambulance drivers a notification system and alarm system.Mobile phones are used as widely accessible technological devices for this purpose to detect falls.For fall detection, an Android smartphone with an embedded accelerometer is employed.In order to identify a fall, the accelerometer will assess how frequently the phone vibrated previously.Based on factors like vibration frequency and height, the threshold is assessed.If it exceeds the predetermined threshold, a pop-up message is displayed asking the user to respond.Further action is conducted in response to the user's response.A timely alert and message will be delivered to the appropriate pre-specified individuals whose contacts are provided by the user at the time of registration for the application if users do not react within a given time limit.Police and ambulance drivers are also provided an alert and message via SMS that includes the victim's accident location.The method described in this study uses a straightforward, user-friendly Android application to detect falls in a cost-effective manner.
