One of the leading causes of road accidents is speeding and the numbers are increasing every year. Traffic enforcement officials do not have the manpower or resources to monitor every stretch of road 24/7. The developed system can be installed into a vehicle, possibly during manufacturing, to detect if a vehicle is breaching the speed limit and if so, the driver is notified of the fine via an SMS...
In this paper we have proposed a system for car surveillance and driver assistance, where in which the car itself will intimate the concerned person about the accident by sending the short message with the location of the vehicle immediately. Here in the proposed system we built a wireless black box, which has different sensors along with the global positioning system (GPS) and global system for mobile...
Falling is a serious issue among old aged population; it leads to severe injuries and consequences. Inability to move after a fall means that the subject cannot ask for help by himself, which increases the percentage of fall-induced injuries significantly. The objective of this paper is to design and to implement a fall detection and alert system for the elderly persons. It aims to facilitate the...
In this paper, an upgraded version of vehicle tracking system is developed for inland vessels. In addition to the features available in traditional VTS (Vehicle Tracking System) for automobiles, it has the capability of remote monitoring of the vessel's motion and orientation. Furthermore, this device can detect capsize events and other accidents by motion tracking and instantly notify the authority...
Automobile theft has been a persisting problem around the world and greater challenge comes from professional thieves. A modern vehicle utilizes remote keyless entry system and immobilizer system as the main weaponry against vehicle theft. But these systems prevent unauthorized access of the vehicle to a certain extent only. Smart gravitational lock is used to prevent the theft by providing the air...
This paper is based on reducing the main issue which reduces the comfort of railway transportation, the vibrations, that are mainly due to the track variations. Rail track irregularity is the main cause of vibration and different researches are in progress for reducing the vibration. The proposed system called intelligent track monitoring system (ITMS) can be adopted to eliminate the track irregularities...
The idea of vehicle accident detection is not new and the automotive companies have made lots of progress in perfecting that technology. Hitherto the same in motorcycles is lying dormant waiting to reach its peak. This paper is an attempt to contribute in that area of technology. Here we are trying to detect accident through three parameters-acceleration/ deceleration, tilt of the vehicle and the...
Falls in the elderly represent a very common danger for their health and an important cause of death for people over 65 years old. If an old person falls and doesn't get medical assistance in one hour, the injuries caused by the fall can lead to death after only 6 months. The sooner a fall is detected and the faster the medical personnel offer assistance, the more the mortality rate decreases. This...
Bipolar Disorder is a severe form of mental illness. It is characterized by alternated episodes of mania and depression, and it is treated typically with a combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Recognizing early warning signs of upcoming phases of mania or depression would be of great help for a personalized medical treatment. Unfortunately, this is a difficult task to be performed for...
Recognizing the transportation modes of people's daily living is an important research issue in the pervasive computing. Prior research in this field mainly uses Global Positioning System (GPS), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) or their combination with accelerometer to recognize transportation modes, such as walking, driving, etc. In this paper, we will introduce transportation mode...
