BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] The transportation facilities in metropolitan cities have undergone
a tremendous proliferation in recent years which have made the human lives
easier by increasing the mobility. However, recently in daily life scenarios, it is
observed that said advancements in transportation have also simultaneously
increased traffic hazards. Various efforts has been made by government and other
organizations to create awareness against careless driving, still there is no
reduction in the number of accidents. It is also observed that the ratio of road
accidents is increasing day by day which is causing an immense loss of life due to
improper emergency and alerting facilities. There could be various possible
reasons behind the increase in road accidents, some of which are over speeding,
careless driving, drunken driving, avoiding seat belts and helmets.
[0004] The road accidents lead to loss of human life and/or incapacitation.
It is noted, with deep concern that most of these causalities occurs as a result of late response by emergency services especially for accidents occurring in remote areas or at night where there is no witness or means of alerting the responsible authorities such as police or ambulance. Moreover, each minute that an injured crash victim does not receive emergency medical care can make a large difference in survival rate. Therefore, there is a need to provide a solution to minimize the emergency help time when an accident occurs and reduce the time which is waste in finding location of the victim.
[0005] Several incidents occurred wherein the call for help occurred only
after some hours of injury, but every second is crucial for an injured person, as
injured person needs immediate medical attention and immediate evacuation to a
hospital. Thus an immediate call for help can save his life. Also, many times
emergency services take a lot of time to reach the spot of an accident which can
cause tragic loss of lives, and sometime permanent disability. However,
sometimes accident may happen in remote areas such as forest of desert then it
may not even be possible to contact emergency services for any kind of medical
help because of no network. Further, if collision occurs at high speed, and the
vehicle disintegrates into pieces then a notification may not send to emergency
services immediately as the system may be destroyed completely. Also, in
existing systems, false alarm of accident is generated as system are not that much
accurate, also unable to determine exact location of the accident, and therefore,
the present systems are totally dependent on any information received from
people present near the accident location. Thus, the existing solutions are unable
to inform the nearby hospitals and police in real time, also these solutions fail to
determine the direct impact and the associated deformation of the vehicle. Thus,
the existing solutions due to lack of exact location of the accident results in delay
to inform the nearby hospitals and other concerned person.
[0006] There is a need to provide a solution that overcomes the above-
mentioned and other limitations of existing solutions to detect the accident and notifying about the accident occurs at any remote location to family and nearby emergency services automatically without any delay.

extract the plurality of parameters from the received first set of signals;
compare the extracted plurality of parameters with a dataset, wherein the dataset comprises a set of pre-defined threshold values of parameters of the vehicle, and when at least one of the plurality of parameters found beyond the associated pre-defined threshold values, actuate a second set of sensors 108 to detect smoke leakage, and gas leakage inside the vehicle, and correspondingly generate a third set of signals; wherein the processing unit 106 is further configured to:
extract smoke level and gas level inside the vehicle from the received third set of signals;
compare the extracted smoke level and gas level with pre-defined threshold values; and
generate alert signals, when at least one of the smoke level and the gas level are found above the associated pre-defined threshold values, wherein the generated alert signals are
transmitted to one or more mobile computing devices through a communication unit 110.
2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first set of sensors 102 comprises any or a combination of, shock sensor, tilt sensor, accelerometer, wheel sensor, pressure sensor, and gyroscopic sensor.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second set of sensors 108 comprises any or a combination of flame detector, gas sensor, gas leakage detector, temperature sensor.
4. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more mobile computing devices comprises any or a combination of cell phone, laptop, smartphone, computer, and tablet, wherein the one or more mobile computing devices are associated with one or more entities such as family members and emergency services.
5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the communication unit 110 is selected from a group consisting of GSM module, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Module, Bluetooth, Li-Fi, and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
6. A system for monitoring and alerting one or more entities, said system comprising:
a first set of sensors 102 coupled to the vehicle to monitor a plurality of parameters of the vehicle, and correspondingly generate a first set of signals;
a second set of sensors 108 coupled to the vehicle to monitor smoke leakage, and gas leakage inside the vehicle, and correspondingly generate a third set of signals; and
a processing unit 106 configured to analyse the received first set of signals and the second set of signals to detect accident of the vehicle, wherein when the monitoring of the first set of sensors 102 and the second set of sensors 108 are cut off, the processing unit 106 generate warning signals, wherein the generated warning signals are transmitted to one or more mobile computing devices through a communication unit.
7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first set of sensors 102 comprises any or a combination of, shock sensor, tilt sensor, accelerometer, wheel sensor, pressure sensor, and gyroscopic sensor.
8. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the second set of sensors 108 comprises any or a combination of flame detector, gas sensor, gas leakage detector, temperature sensor.
9. A method 500 for detecting and reporting an accident of a vehicle, said method comprising:
detecting 502, by a first set of sensors 102, a plurality of parameters;
analysing 504, at one or more processors, the plurality of parameters by comparing with a set of pre-defined threshold values of parameters, and actuating a second set of sensors 108, when at least one of the plurality of parameters found beyond the associated threshold value; and
detecting 506, by a second set of sensors, smoke leakage and gas leakage inside the vehicle, and analysing, at one or more processors, smoke level and gas level inside the vehicle, by comparing the received smoke level and gas level with pre-defined threshold values; and
generating 508, alert signals, by one or more processors, upon detecting at least one of the smoke level and the gas level above the associated pre-defined threshold values, and transmitting the generated alert signals to one or more mobile computing devices through a communication unit.
