An IoT Enabled Assistant for Vehicular Emergency

Abstract: Internet of things (IoT) deals with billions of intelligent objects which can be connected to sense and collect the data and also communicate with surrounding people using mobile, wireless and sensor technologies. We present a vehicular emergency service based on cloud computing. In a situation, unfortunately if a car meets with an accident, the device implemented in the car will immediately notify the cloud database. It will send information such as car details, location and type of emergency to the cloud server. The server then based on the location of the car will find the nearest help centre and will notify about the emergency occurred along with its location. An interactive communication and real-time location tracking system prototype has been designed with Raspberry Pi Model B along with GPS and GSM technology.
