Accident Detection for Smart Cars:

Background: After careful analysis of the existing solutions in the market, we came up with the
following integrated approach for traffic accident detection that can be deployed in smart cars.

Equipment to be used:

 Pressure Sensor
 Tilt angle
 Gyroscope
 GPS
 Android App
 RF transmitter
 Raspberry Pi B+ model

Step 1:

Smartphone app uses Bluetooth to receive data from the sensors and constantly monitors the
speed, pressure values of the smart car and the rotation angle of the car with the help of a
gyroscope

Step 2:

The app detects an accident if there is a sharp change in speed or pressure value increases or the
gyro detects a change of the rotation beyond a certain threshold. The car speed is slowed down
immediately.

Step 3:

If it is a false alarm, the driver can cancel the notification. If not, the GPS of the phone sends the
information to a cloud server which in turn notifies the nearest hospital centre and ambulance.

Issue: The smartphone will have battery constraints

Step 4:

GPS tracker of the app will help navigate the ambulance through the nearest route using the same
app GPS tracker. Google Maps can be leveraged in that case.

Step 5:

 Radio Frequency signal emitted from the ambulance is transmitted to the receiving RF signal
of the traffic signals, which will turn green optimally and after careful analysis to make way
for the ambulance in the shortest possible time.

 Raspberry Pi B+ Model, placed at traffic signals act as a receiver of images for video data.
 The Inception v3 model is employed to identify disasters once it has been trained on
different pairs of video data which includes incident and non-incident frames. The model is
centred on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is beneficial for picture recognition
and object identification, among other things. Inception v3 can deal with heterogeneous
convolutions, allowing it to capture more information from pictures.
