VEHICLE ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE AND DETECTION SYSTEM USING GPS, GSM AND ANDROID APPLICATION

Abstract

Deaths due to road accidents have always been an issue for many countries. Most of the time people die in these accidents because they do not receive timely help. The existing accident detection systems used in automobiles do not have the feature of displaying the address of the place of accident in textual form. It only displays the latitude and longitude of the place of accident, which becomes cumbersome to understand and causes undue delay in locating the place. This paper, proposes an additional feature in addition to the prevailing features that displays the address of the place of accident and also the nearby hospitals. The proposed system comprises of four sub-systems namely: Accident Avoidance Sub-System, Accident Detection Sub-System, Location Extraction- Transmission Sub-System and Location to Address Translation Sub-System. The Location to Address Translation Sub-System converts the numeric coordinates into textual address automatically using an Android Application that runs on a smart phone which is the novel feature of the proposed project. Thus, it saves address decoding time and facilitates provision for speedy help
