- This project is to develop a system to detect the occurrence of accident and find the "effective" shortest path to reach the accident spot using Floating Car Data (FCD) technique. - The proposed technique uses the inbuilt smartphone sensors and the on-board sensors fitted with the vehicle to detect the accident occurrence. - Once the accident has been detected, the effective path (taking into account both the distance and the traffic) to reach the accident spot is notified to the relatives and to the nearby hospital. - The effective path is determined using GPS-based FCD technique and Djikstra's algorithm. - The proposed approach aims at detecting the accident occurrence and providing timely notification and help to reduce the impact of accidents. - This project was funded by Centre for Development and Transfer (CTDT), Anna University.
