An Advanced Fatigue, Vehicle Monitoring and Information Processing System for Accident Management Support

Abstract

Driving under the influence and excessive speed are the primary causes of car accidents. In addition to this mechanical failure of the engine, driver fatigue during long drives is also a contributing factor to the accident. Many lives could have been saved if emergency services received timely accident information and reached the scene promptly, and if drunk drivers were prevented from driving. These days, GPS is a fundamental component of vehicle systems. The microcontroller transmits the alert message via the GSM modem, which contains the location information directed to either a police control room or a rescue team. Thus, after receiving the information, the police can immediately trace the location via the GPS MODEM. Once the location is confirmed, appropriate action will be taken. The sensors used in suitable locations uphold the detection. The source battery, which is charged by the solar cell, provides the power supply. Additionally, piezoelectric plates mounted on the accelerator, clutch, and brake offer backup power.
