Description
Summary: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 account both the distance and the traffic, to reach the accident spot is intimated to the relatives and to the nearby hospital. Based on the GPS-based FCD technique, the effective path to reach the accident spot is determined. The proposed approach aims at detecting the accident occurrence and providing timely notification and timely help to reduce the impacts of accidents.
