Now a days, the number of two wheelers in India has drastically increased to a great extent. Due to which automobile users are undergoing numerous road accidents thereby causing death. The first and the foremost precaution to avoid dea this to protectour head, therefore we go for helmets. Even though helmets are available everywhere we are not using it properly. This system is a special idea which...
Automated Planning can be fruitfully exploited as a Decision Support toolkit that, given a specification of available actions (elementary decisions to be taken), an initial situation and goals to be achieved, generates a plan that represents a (partially ordered) sequence of such elementary decisions that once performed the required goals are achieved. Road Traffic Accident Management is a life-critical...
Any large scale construction related activity generally requires the use of cranes. A crane operator must be appropriately skilled to avoid any mishap at the construction site. This can be accomplished by training crane operators on all the safety procedures and methods of crane operation to be practiced. In this paper we explore a method whereby anyone who is being trained as a crane operator, must...
This study suggests real-time sensing system of elderly's crossing behavior at outdoor environments. In general, many researchers use a manual based techniques by video-recorded footage for detecting the behaviors. The detecting data are pedestrians' crossing times, speeds, trajectory data, step length, elderly pedestrians' crossing characteristics, and interaction with approaching vehicles, critical...
We consider a surveillance system for public transport vehicles, which is based on the collection of on-board videos, and the upload via mobile network to a central security system of video segments corresponding to those cameras and time intervals involved in an accident. We assume that vehicles are connected to several wireless interfaces, provided by different Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), each...
In the recent decade the VANET has been emerged as a prominent field for research and it receives considerable attention. VANET uses different specifications of the WLAN 802.11 family. It takes the basics of ad hoc network and the VANET creates a network with a collection of independent entities with the ability to communicate among themselves. The Adaption to the various 802.1 family causes a remarkable...
Timeliness is one the most important factors in emergency management. Emergency notification mechanism has to be hassle free and quick, in order to have efficient response for any disaster, health-fix, act of terrorism, etc. In this paper, we present service architecture for emergency alert, using Fog computing. Fog computing brings cloud resources close to the underlying devices and IoTs, which makes...
Emergency situations are unfortunately part of our lives. Today's smart computing allow us handle such situations and fulfill our requirements more efficiently and effectively. This paper presents architecture to handle various kinds of emergency situations more efficiently and effectively, by allowing the user (victim or witness) easy and quick way to alert the concerned department (s) with just...
With the proliferation of sensor-embedded mobile computing devices, mobile sensing is becoming a popular paradigm to collect information from participating mobile users. Unlike the well-calibrated and well-tested sensor networks, mobile sensing relies on participants with unknown reliability. Data collected from mobile users may be untrustworthy. There are various solutions proposed in the literature...
In this paper, we design a new mobile traffic warning triangle (MTWT) which consist five parts: distance measurement unit, reflective tracking function, LED indicate, emergency calling and embedded controller. The MTWT can track the white line in road side then move a fix distance and rise the LED indicate triangle. It also can detect the distance between two cars and alarm the driver. The GPS module...
The paper presents a novel approach to detect the occurrence of accident and also to find the effective path to reach the accident spot using Floating Car Data (FCD) technique. The proposed technique uses the sensor inbuilt with the smartphones and also the on-board sensors fitted with the vehicle to detect the accident occurrence. Once the accident has been detected, the effective path, taking into...
In this paper we resort to 3G WCDMA Networks for the combined purposes of voice communication and tracking of positional coordinates of vehicles in order to develop an efficient emergency response system to effectively battle the aftermath of road accidents occurring at remote locations. Analyzing the individual elements of the UTRAN architecture, a complete call flow between the afflicted vehicle...
Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANET) is wireless communication between vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to roadside infrastructure. The VANET has different challenges if we compare it with MANET. VANET has traffic, safety and user application based challenges which have some specific design requirements. To evaluate any VANET design, simulator with vehicular mobility model is required. Vehicular mobility...
A low cost, Cell Phone based system design has been proposed in this paper, which would automatically inform the nearest Police Radio Flying Squad or Traffic Dept. vehicles from a vehicle affected in an accident without the need of any human intervention. The collision detector inside the vehicle would send an update to the Police Control Room Server which in turn would immediately send a ‘SMSOrder’...
Road intersections represent one of the most complex configurations encountered when traversing road networks. A high percentage of accidents occur at these locations. The introduction of wireless communications technologies onboard passenger vehicles is enabling the sharing of information and through it enhancing the situational awareness of vehicle drivers. In this paper the implementation of safety...
Improving safety on the road is one of the most challenging goals of recent investigations in VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks). CCA (Chain Collision Avoidance) applications are a new emerging means of reducing the number of accidents on the road by providing cars with collaborative communication capabilities, thus allowing them to react against the real risk of accident which may occur in different...
Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a special class of mobile ad hoc Networks (MANET), and is an important component of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). VANET has a future potential in terms of a rich set of applications that it can provide to its customer. Accident detection is a key functionality of ITS. Due to the effects of channel fading and shadowing, individual vehicles may not be able...
Currently, the main purpose in car-to-car networks is to improve communication performance. In order to prove this, we need a tool to evaluate statistical values such as the number of vehicles that have received the information, time of reception of the message, etc. In this study, we demonstrate how it is possible to simulate real scenarios with car-to-car technology and evaluate all traffic parameters...
Most people are stressed out and overstrained after accidents even if no one is hurt. Consequently, they may face some difficulty in reporting the accident to the police and civil defense, or they may provide them with inaccurate information about the location of the accident. Moreover, even if they were able to provide the necessary information it may take them some time to deliver it to a human...
Currently, the V2V (vehicle to vehicle) network relies on periodic broadcast to disseminate emergency warning messages (EWM) to locations beyond the transmission range of individual nodes. But along with it, there comes the problem of broadcast redundancy, which reduces the reliability and efficiency of the warning system. In this paper, by studying different broadcast strategy, a new efficient IEEE...
