Abstract :
In the speedy moving world, nobody is ready to look what´s happening around them. Even when there occurs an accident nobody cares about it. This is an intention to implement an innovative solution for this problem by developing an Enhanced Accident detection System for Indicating Victim Status from the accident zone. This system has been developed and implemented using the biomedical smart sensors and microcontroller based mobile technology integrated with the evolving LabVIEW platform. The system will automatically identify the accident, then immediately transmit the location of the accident and the status of the physiological parameters of the victims to the emergency care center phone number through Short Message Service (SMS). The victim´s physiological parameters such as body temperature, Heartbeat, Coma stage recovery status have been transmitted in the SMS. So the proposed system ensures that to reduce the human death ratio by accidents. When the accident occurs and realizes that there is no severe collision, then the person involved in accident has to press the switch provision which has been made to indicate that the accident is diminutive and no communication will be established i.e. no further alarming SMS has been transmitted.
