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

Abstract

Speeding and drunken drive are the basic reasons for vehicle accident. Apart from this mechanical failure of engine and fatigue during long drive is also the cause of accident. Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and reach in time and if drunken drivers are prevented from driving. Nowadays, GPS has become an integral part of a vehicle system. Microcontroller sends the alert message through the GSM MODEM including the location to police control room or a rescue team. So the police can immediately trace the location through the GPS MODEM, after receiving the information. Then after confirming the location necessary action will be taken. The detection is maintained by the sensors used in appropriate places. The power supply is given by the source battery that is charged by the solar cell and a backup power is provided by the piezoelectric plates fixed at accelerator, clutch and brake.
