Vehicle Accident Alert and Locator (VAAL)
[attachment=28926]
INTRODUCTION
When an auto crash occurs suddenly, the
reaction of the emergency services now
becomes a race between life and death.
Today, wireless innovation has tilted the
odds in favor of success like never before.
Before, the people in the emergency services
had little more to rely upon than raw
courage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this research work, we made use of M2M
technologies and GPS/GSM module which
is a device that operates mostly under M2M
platform. M2M simply involves devices that
International Journal of Electrical & Computer Sciences IJECS-IJENS
can communicate over a network without
human interference. Telit GM862-GPS
wireless system is the main choice for the
automobile GPS/GSM module used[12].
RESULT
The model vehicle which has the crash
detector installed in it was placed in another
moving vehicle within the premises of the
university. A switch which operates like an
automobile air bag activator is pressed to
simulate a crash when the real vehicle was
in motion. Because of the synchronized
movement of both vehicles; the GPS
receiver assumed the motion of the real
vehicle as that of the model and positive
results were generated.
CONCLUSION
In order to develop VAAL, three main
players were identified i.e. the automobile
incorporating a machine-to-machine (M2M)
device (GPS/GSM modem with a crash
detector), the mobile operator and the
emergency organizations, where all players
are joined together by the geographic
information network.
