Intelligent Accident Detection and Severity Analysis System for Enhanced Emergency Response

Road accidents cause serious injuries and deaths worldwide. The previous year's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways Annual Report on Road Accidents in India showed that many road accidents were fatal. A large percentage of Indian deaths occur without rapid medical intervention or first assistance. Delays in reporting incidents to emergency services increased fatalities. A sophisticated method using deep learning and analytics to locate CCTV accidents, classify their severity, and speed up emergency response. Accident detection and analysis are efficient with cutting-edge technologies. The accident detection phase uses YOLOv7, a deep-learning object detection model, to evaluate CCTV footage in real time. A stratified K-fold deep neural network classifies accidents as major or minor based on collision severity. Real-time GPS tracking alerts ambulance drivers within three km of the accident using the mobile app. This expedites emergency response, lowering mortality by reducing the time between the accident and medical assistance.
