Abstract-The technology development has increased the more

traffic hazards and road accident due to lack of emergency

facilities. Our paper will provide a solution to this problem. The

dangerous driving can be detected using accelerometer in car

alarm application. It used as crash or roll over detector vehicle

during accident or after accident. An accelerometer receive the

signal which is used to recognize the severe accident. In this

paper, when vehical met with an accident or roll over the

vibration sensor will detect the signal and sends it to ATMEGA

8A controller. GSM send alert message to police control room or

rescue team from microcontroller. Now police can trace the

location to the GPS after receiving the information. Then after

conforming the location necessary action will be taken. During

the accident, if the person did not get injury or if there is no

serious threat to anyone’s life, then the alert message can be

stopped by driver by a switch provided. In order to avoid the

wasting the time of the rescue team. This is used to detect the

accident by means of vibration sensor.

Keywords: ARM controller, Accelero meter, Vibration sensor,

GSM module. I.INTRODUTION

Due the more road accident takes place in various

cities. Nowadays the cause of death increasing more by

accident. If an accident met in a national highway roads no

one there to rescue the person to met with an accident this is

due to lack of emergency facilities and rescue team to

overcome these drawback our paper proposed this method

can automatic indicating device for vehicle accident is used

in this paper it is used protect the people from the risk as soon

as possible after occurrence the accident wasting a time may

leads to death. so this system will detect the accident within

the less time and convey the information to the police station

and to rescue system after a few seconds. The location of the

accident place will be detect by GPS by tracking the vehicle

ARM controller is used to save the mobile number in the EE

PROM and send the message to require person when an

accident occurred. One more facility is provided for critical

time incase of heat attacks or other health problems if the

person requires help he can press the single switch provided

in the system through GPS module the location of vehical

accident is tracked and the message is transmitted through

GSM modem.

Switch is provided to terminate the message sending

when there is no severe injury. By this method the time of

rescue system can be saved. Accident is detecting using

vibration sensor. By this method the emergency facility will

be efficiently used during the road accidents. Accelerometer

sensor can be used in a car alarm application. By this sensor

dangerous driving can be detected. Due to advancement

technology. There is need for the identification of exact

vehicle location, better data transfer facilities freedom to

motoring the software.

II.EXISTING METHOD

Using Smartphone the accident location can be

tracked with the help of 3G network. The message can be

passed to police station or rescue via smartphone. The other

existing method is stolen vehicle recovery system. The owner

of the vehicle gets the message immediately about the

location of vehicle through GSM. Automatic vehicle accident

detection and messaging system uses accelerometer in Cr

alarm application. So that dangerous driving can be detected.

The accident can be sensed by using the vibration sensor.

Using ARM controller the mobile number can be saved in

EEPROM and sends the message when accident occurs. GPS

is used for tracking the position of the vehicle, GSM sends

the message to the rescue system and police station.

III.PROPOSED METHOD

Sometimes during accident the vehicle hits the other

vehicle and it passes away without stopping. To overcome

these drawback we proposed the method in the accident

detection and rescue system. Along with this Bluetooth is

added. By using this Bluetooth the information of the hitting

vehicle can sends to the nearby vehicle within in the 10m

distance. The vehicle which hits the other vehicle will

automatically sends the details i.e informations like vehicle

number, owner details etc.. to the nearby vehicles in order to

identify the details of the hitting vehicle. By this police can

easily find the hitting vehicle.

Fig2: Flowchart for the accident alerting system.

In the case of an accident the system detects it using the fact

that the vehicle would be suddenly decelerated in such a

condition. An accelerometer continuously monitors the

acceleration of the vehicle and will detect decelerations

greater than threshold value and send the data to the

microcontroller via an ADC. The controller compares this

with the threshold set value and immediately sends an SOS

message to preset numbers. With this message the controller

also transmits the GPS coordinates of the vehicle which it

continuously obtains from the GPS module. This system will

highly aid the search and rescue of vehicles that have met

with an accident.

IV.METHODOLOGY

The prototype model of an automatic vehicle

accident detection and messaging using GSM and GPS

modem using AT mega 8A working will be made in the

following steps:

Complete layout of the whole set up will be drawn in

form of a block diagram. A piezoelectric sensor will first

sense the occurrence of an accident and give its output to the

microcontroller. The GPS detects the latitude and

longitudinal position of a vehicle. The latitudes and

longitude position of the vehicle is sent as message through

the GSM. The phone number is pre-saved in the EEPROM.

Whenever an accident has occurred the position is detected

and a message has been sent to the presaved number.

A. Atmega 8a Microcontroller

There are many families in the microcontroller but

here the ATMEGA 8A is used because it provides the high

output with low input. The operating voltage of the

ATMEGA is 2.2-5.5 volts where the consuming input is low

compared to other.It is performing with advanced RISC

architecture with non-volatile memory segments.It allows

130 instructions which is normally high compared to other

and it comprises of 16 bit address with 8 bit data. The data

retention of the ATMEGA 8A is 20 years at 850 C and 100

years at 250C. The peripheral features includes two 8-bit

Timer/Counters with Separate pre scalar, one Compare Mode

One 16-bit Timer/Counter with Separate Pre scalar, Compare

Mode, and Capture Mode. One of the special features of

controller is Power-on Reset and Programmable Brown-out

Detection with Internally Calibrated RC Oscillator.It can be

varied with five sleep modes like Idle, ADC Noise

Reduction, Power-save, Power-down, and Standby.

Rectifier: The function of the rectifier is to convert AC to DC

current or voltage. Usually in the rectifier circuit full wave

bridge rectifier is used.

Filter: The Filter is used to remove the pulsated AC.

A filter circuit uses capacitor and inductor. The function of

the capacitor is to block the DC voltage and bypass the AC

voltage. The function of the inductor is to block the AC

voltage and bypass the DC voltage.

Voltage Regulator: Voltage regulator constitutes an

indispensable part of the power supply section of any

electronic systems. The main advantage of the regulator ICs

is that it regulates or maintains the output constant, in spite of

the variation in the input supply.

D.Rs232

Due to its relative simplicity and low hardware

overhead (as compared to parallel interfacing), serial

communications is used extensively within the electronics

industry. Today, the most popular serial communications

standard in useis certainly the EIA/TIA–232–E specification.

This standard, which has been developed by the Electronic

Industry Association and the Telecommunications Industry

Association (EIA/TIA), is more popularly referred to simply

as “RS–232” where “RS” stands for “recommended

standard”. In recent years, this suffix has been replaced with

“EIA/TIA” to help identify the source of the standard. We

use the common notation “RS–232”.

Automatic Road Accident Detection Using Ultrasonic Sensor

Conference Paper

Full-text available

Nov 2018

Everyday many lives are lost due to accidents on roads. Normally death happens due to the injury suffered by the passenger in the road accident but most of the time it also has been seen that the information of the accident, reach the emergency department very late, consequently the injured person could not sustain. So there must be an automatic system in every car which not only detect a road accident efficiently but also notify it to the emergency department very instantly. Researchers have proposed a number of automatic road accident detection methods. These methods typically use airbags, smartphones, infrared sensors (IR sensor) and mobile application. None of these methods are perfect for the automatic detection of road accident. The filters used in the smart-phones, can cause difficulty in detecting low speed fender bender. Using IR sensor, the threshold distances, on which it will react is not mentioned in the proposed system. The method using airbags are not designed for motorbikes and cycles. If mobile application is used for accident detection, then different smart-phone models have different processors of various speeds so the application may not perform efficiently in all the smart-phone models. So in this paper, a novel approach based on ultrasonic sensor is proposed. Accident detection using ultrasonic sensor provides the facility to detect an accident not only in various street situations but also it might perform well under various natural conditions like rains.

Dec 2013

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a new paradigm in information technology aimed at empowering people's capabilities by the means of digital environments that are sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to human needs, habits, gestures, and emotions. This futuristic vision of daily environment will enable innovative human-machine interactions characterized by pervasive, unobtrusive and anticipatory communications. Such innovative interaction paradigms make ambient intelligence technology a suitable candidate for developing various real life solutions, including in the health care domain. This survey will discuss the emergence of ambient intelligence (AmI) techniques in the health care domain, in order to provide the research community with the necessary background. We will examine the infrastructure and technology required for achieving the vision of ambient intelligence, such as smart environments and wearable medical devices. We will summarize of the state of the art artificial intelligence methodologies used for developing AmI system in the health care domain, including various learning techniques (for learning from user interaction), reasoning techniques (for reasoning about users' goals and intensions) and planning techniques (for planning activities and interactions). We will also discuss how AmI technology might support people affected by various physical or mental disabilities or chronic disease. Finally, we will point to some of the successful case studies in the area and we will look at the current and future challenges to draw upon the possible future research paths.

Article

Full-text available

May 2013

Innovative technology approaches have been increasingly investigated for the last two decades aiming at human-being long-term monitoring. However, current solutions suffer from critical limitations. In this paper, a complete system for contactless health-monitoring in home environment is presented. For the first time, radar, wireless communications, and data processing techniques are combined, enabling contactless fall detection and tagless localization. Practical limitations are considered and properly dealt with. Experimental tests, conducted with human volunteers in a realistic room setting, demonstrate an adequate detection of the target's absolute distance and a success rate of 94.3% in distinguishing fall events from normal movements. The volunteers were free to move about the whole room with no constraints in their movements.

Automatic Monocular System for Human Fall Detection Based on Variations in Silhouette Area

IEEE T BIO-MED ENG

Population of old generation is growing in most countries. Many of these seniors are living alone at home. Falling is amongst the most dangerous events that often happen and may need immediate medical care. Automatic fall detection systems could help old people and patients to live independently. Vision based systems have advantage over wearable devices. These visual systems extract some features from video sequences and classify fall and normal activities. These features usually depend on cameras view direction. Using several cameras to solve this problem increases the complexity of the final system. In this paper we propose to use variations in silhouette area that are obtained from only one camera. We use a simple background separation method to find the silhouette. We show that the proposed feature is view invariant. Extracted feature is fed into a support vector machine for classification. Simulation of the proposed method using a publicly available dataset shows promising results.

Robust Video Surveillance for Fall Detection Based on Human Shape Deformation

Article

Full-text available

Jun 2011

Faced with the growing population of seniors, developed countries need to establish new healthcare systems to ensure the safety of elderly people at home. Computer vision provides a promising solution to analyze personal behavior and detect certain unusual events such as falls. In this paper, a new method is proposed to detect falls by analyzing human shape deformation during a video sequence. A shape matching technique is used to track the person's silhouette along the video sequence. The shape deformation is then quantified from these silhouettes based on shape analysis methods. Finally, falls are detected from normal activities using a Gaussian mixture model. This paper has been conducted on a realistic data set of daily activities and simulated falls, and gives very good results (as low as 0% error with a multi-camera setup) compared with other common image processing methods.

Sensors-Based Wearable Systems for Monitoring of Human Movement and Falls

Article

Mar 2012

The rapid aging of the world's population, along with an increase in the prevalence of chronic illnesses and obesity, requires adaption and modification of current healthcare models. One such approach involves telehealth applications, many of which are based on sensor technologies for unobtrusive monitoring. Recent technological advances, in particular, involving microelectromechnical systems, have resulted in miniaturized wearable devices that can be used for a range of applications. One of the leading areas for utilization of body-fixed sensors is the monitoring of human movement. An overview of common ambulatory sensors is presented, followed by a summary of the developments in this field, with an emphasis on the clinical applications of falls detection, falls risk assessment, and energy expenditure. The importance of these applications is considerable in light of the global demographic trends and the resultant rise in the occurrence of injurious falls and the decrease of physical activity. The potential of using such monitors in an unsupervised manner for community-dwelling individuals is immense, but entails an array of challenges with regards to design c onsiderations, implementation protocols, and signal analysis processes. Some limitations of the research to date and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

An Online One Class Support Vector Machine-Based Person-Specific Fall Detection System for Monitoring an Elderly Individual in a Room Environment

Article

Nov 2013

In this paper, we propose a novel computer vision-based fall detection system for monitoring an elderly person in a home care, assistive living application. Initially, a single camera covering the full view of the room environment is used for the video recording of an elderly person's daily activities for a certain time period. The recorded video is then manually segmented into short video clips containing normal postures, which are used to compose the normal dataset. We use the codebook background subtraction technique to extract the human body silhouettes from the video clips in the normal dataset and information from ellipse fitting and shape description, together with position information, is used to provide features to describe the extracted posture silhouettes. The features are collected and an online one class support vector machine (OCSVM) method is applied to find the region in feature space to distinguish normal daily postures and abnormal postures such as falls. The resultant OCSVM model can also be updated by using the online scheme to adapt to new emerging normal postures and certain rules are added to reduce false alarm rate and thereby improve fall detection performance. From the comprehensive experimental evaluations on datasets for 12 people, we confirm that our proposed person-specific fall detection system can achieve excellent fall detection performance with 100% fall detection rate and only 3% false detection rate with the optimally tuned parameters. This work is a semiunsupervised fall detection system from a system perspective because although an unsupervised-type algorithm (OCSVM) is applied, human intervention is needed for segmenting and selecting of video clips containing normal postures. As such, our research represents a step toward a complete unsupervised fall detection system.

A Survey on Fall Detection: Principles and Approaches

Article

Jan 2013
NEUROCOMPUTING

Fall detection is a major challenge in the public health care domain, especially for the elderly, and reliable surveillance is a necessity to mitigate the effects of falls. The technology and products related to fall detection have always been in high demand within the security and the health-care industries. An effective fall detection system is required to provide urgent support and to significantly reduce the medical care costs associated with falls. In this paper, we give a comprehensive survey of different systems for fall detection and their underlying algorithms. Fall detection approaches are divided into three main categories: wearable device based, ambience device based and vision based. These approaches are summarised and compared with each other and a conclusion is derived with some discussions on possible future work.
