Shortest Route Analysis for Road Accident Emergency using Dijkstra Algorithm and Fuzzy Logic

Victims of road traffic accidents face severe health problems on-site or after the event when they arrive at hospital lately in their emergency cycle. Road traffic accident has negative effect on the physical, social and emotional security of human lives which often lead to mortality, illness, pain, grief and even disability. This paper proposes a scheme that reduces the severity of road traffic accidents given its inevitable occurrence. The rational is to search for nearest hospitals to the accident location using Dijkstra algorithm and Fuzzy logic to recommend suitable hospitals out of list of nearest hospitals to timely attend to the emergency situation considering factors such as distance, severity of the accident, available facilities in the hospitals and other factors. The obtained results showed the practicability of the system to recommendation of quick solution to accident emergencies.
