Abstract
Today, we have reached a stage where we humans cannot imagine a life without automobiles. With considerable increase in the use of automobiles in our day-to-day life there is a proportional rise in the safety requirement in the vehicular network. Medical services are required to reach the accident location in minimal amount of time. Thus, we propose a system to accelerate the process of medical assistances and emergency services, reaching to the victims involved in a road accident. Smartphones give us a mean to establish wireless communication with the on-board diagnostics (OBD-II) and provide us with the computation power to monitor and detect various accident scenarios. The system determines the accident location using Global Positioning System (GPS) and broadcasts the location of the accident to the emergency services in the vicinity using the available GSM cellular network.
