A real time vehicle collision detecting and reporting system based on Internet of Things technology

Hundreds and thousands of vehicle are involved in severe traffic accident every year world-wide. The place where accidents are more likely to happen include someplace where has few inhabitants or no camera surveillance such as highway and Country trail. In this situation, it will impede rescuing process when driver is comatose by a severe collision accident. Vehicle Collision Sensor Systems are a valid device for increasing drivers safety by informing the police of precise location of the accident automatically through telephone after accidents. In this work, we present a collision reporting system based on TCP/IP protocol. The system is composed of three parts, vehicle collision sensor terminal worked on car cigarette lighter, application used on smartphones and remote server based on LabVIEW software. At the end of the paper, remote control and alarm tests are carried out. A detailed evaluation of the proposed system and collision reporting demonstrates the suitability as Vehicle Collision Reporting System for human drivers.
