Abstract

The numbers of deaths due to road accidents are increasing day by day. Even the vehicles are becoming more sophisticated with features like GPS navigation and airbags for safety. In spite of this the victims of the accidents which occur at remote locations do not get prompt medical service. There are several cases where the accident victims lose their lives due to lack of medical assistance. These victims may get serious injuries due to which the might not be able to move or communicate to the rest of the world. In such situations the advancements in technology and the sophistication of the vehicles do not seem to be useful. Smart Accident Detection and Assistance Systems overcomes this limitations as it will automatically detect an accident and notify the nearest emergency response services i.e. Hospitals and Towing services which will enable the accident victim to receive instant medical help and assistance. In today’s day roads are the most used medium for traveling. A large number of road accidents take place every year around the globe. Most of the accidents on highways may prove fatal; sometimes the victims go unattended and even lose their lives. So, this system proposes a solution to this problem which detects accident of the vehicle and alerts the ambulance service, insurance company, towing services so as to provide instant medical help.
