Vehicle Accident Detection on Highway and Communication to the Closest Rescue Service

Abstract

The hazard information and the timely rescue performance are considered as the main elements to reduce the risk of road traffic accidents since the rate of highway accidents significantly increased. In this paper, it is aiming to detect the highway accident victims by using the data received from Sensor Fusion-Based algorithm while Ray Casting algorithm will assist the users to receive the assistance of rescue services in timely manner. With the purpose of user friendliness, these algorithms are intended to apply in the smartphones built-in high technology sensors, which are connected with the GIS, GPS and Geofence technologies.
