Sensor Based Traffic Prediction and Accident Detection using GPS and GSM Technology

We are developing an application which predicts the traffic and detect accident using sensors. Every person using a smartphone has the GPS facility inbuilt which is in turn connected to the vehicle by which a person can find his location. In this application we can predict traffic by looking at the traffic of GPS at a particular place. The systems should be able to identify each vehicle and track its behavior, and to recognize situations or events that are likely to result from a chain of such behavior. This paper proposes to utilize the capability of a GPS receiver to monitor speed of a vehicle and detect accident based on monitored speed and send accident location to an Alert Service Centre. Using sensors we detect accidents. The smoke, crash and pressure sensors are to be fit in the vehicle and whenever it senses the system will send the accident location acquired from the GPS along with the time by utilizing the GSM network. This will help to reach the rescue service in time and save the valuable human life. The broader area network of this project is wireless networks.
