A Study on Cloud and IoT based Accident Detection & Prevention Systems

The world’s population has recently surpassed 7 billion, and accidents are also growing day by day due to poor driving habits, excessive speed, and carelessness. In India, there were more than five lakh traffic accidents in 2015, and 1.5 lakh fatalities were reported. By 2022, this number is anticipated to rise by 50% The deaths of the victims are increasing because of not getting emergency help at the hospital at the right time and not reaching the emergency vehicle at the right time to the accident spot. So, requires an urgent need to develop an IOT-based Accident detection model, which will help in reducing deaths. This study reviews the existing accident detection models and strategies to ascertain the best strategy to prevent traffic accidents and provide the best solution for locating the accident site and sending the information about the accidents as an alert message to the nearby hospital. This study mainly discusses about the accident detection and prevention system developed by using IOT.
