[0001]The present disclosure relates to automobiles, and more specifically, toa
system, method and apparatus for detecting emergency such as accident and transmitting emergency communication to emergency services.
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] More than one million people are killed each year in car accidents all over the
world, more than three thousand each day. About 30% of those people die within the first ten minutes from the time of the car accident. Car accidents which occur in uninhabited areas, locations far from urban locations, non-busy roads located in remote locations, are at further risk due to the fact that: a) It could take a long time for a passing car to pass by and call for emergency services.b) It could take a long time for the emergency services to arrive and evacuate the injured to a hospital.
[0004] Several incidents have occurred wherein the call for help occurred only an
hour from the time of injury. In some cases, the call for help occurred several hours after injury.As it is known, regarding receiving medical treatment, every second can be crucial to whether an injured person will live or die. Time can also be crucial for an injured person to whether or not his injury will be permanent or not. Even a person involved in a car accident in a city needs immediate medical attention and immediate evacuation to a hospital. Thus an immediate call for help can save his life.
[0005] Many times emergency services take a lot of time to reach the spot of an
accident which can cause tragic loss of lives and/or permanent disability. The human cost of such tragedies is only increasing. 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. In some countries, the roads are of good quality, and people drive even at speeds of more than two hundred kilometres per hour. Further, if collision occurs at high speed, then even the vehicle can disintegrate into pieces

then an emergency notification may notsend to emergency service astelematics devices get completely destroyed.
[0006] Efforts have been made by using a navigation device and Global Navigation
Satellite System(GNSS). Some examples of GNSS are Galileo, Beidou, Glonass, NAVIC and GPS. All these conventional systems have coverage in the entire world. Navigation with Indian Constellation (NAVIC) is an Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) in India and is designed to provide accurate real-time positioning and timing services to users in India as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary, with plans for further extension andoperated by ISRO. Combinations of GNSS were used to make the system more reliable as GNSS can track speed, altitude and direction of a vehicle.However, GNSS may not work in mountainous regions or underground. Some of the examples of satellite navigation systems with regional coverage are NAVIC and QZSS, and this technology already existed since 1970's. However, some novel idea could not be implemented because of costly hardware and limitations of software.Even satellite communication was expensive and almost beyond civilian use in the 1970s andhardware was too heavy and consumed too much power to be fitted on a vehicle. Weight and power consumption of existing device was kept low to implement the same on automobile.Further,existing systems are not able to work in areas of low network connectivity. Furthermore, in existing system there is requirement of complex, bulky andhuge hardware, software and network for notifying a notification to emergency services in any condition after the accident. Additionally, a conventional systemhas multiple limitations and isoutdated as most of them are theoretical and may not work incritical or emergency situation. In addition, there is no system and method available in market that automatically determining a car accident in real-time and alerting medical emergency services in case a car accident is detected.
[0007] Therefore, there exists a need of an efficient, effective andimproved system,
method and device for automatically determining a car accident according to real-time
calculations of motion, acceleration and location parameters and alerting medical emergency
services in case a car accident is detected.Further, there is a need for device,system and
method for detecting emergency such as accident and transmitting emergency communication
to emergency services with accuracy, network coverage and reliability.

30 [0036] The present invention relates to a system that enables automatic tracking of a
car, detection of car accidents and alerting emergency services (in case an accident is detected) for the quick evacuation of injured people involved in car accidents.
[0037] The proposed system includes one or more lasers combined with Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can be used to create a safer design of automobiles.
8

Combination of multiple GNSS can be used to track the location of a vehicle. The lasers
sensor can detect if an accident has taken place. Combination of both the data can be used to
inform fire brigade, ambulance, friends and family in case of accident. It can be new
dimension in automobile safety and is comparable to airbags or seatbelts. Multiple GNSS can
5 be used in parallel for more accuracy, network coverage and reliability. Low cost is the
reason why this technology can be implemented on a large scale. Combination of satellite
phone and sim card can be used to ensure that message reaches even in the presence of
network, software and hardware failures.
[0038] An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a system and method for
10 detecting accident by incorporation of laser sensors and accurately locating the accident site
by incorporation of a plurality of positioning systems.The proposed system primarily
incorporates a plurality of positioning system receivers, cellular and satellite communication
means, laser beam/light generator, and laser sensors, etc.
[0039] In an embodiment, a combination of data produced by the laser sensors and
15 positioning systems is used to generate a distress signal to inform fire brigade, ambulance,
friends, and family in case of an accident.
[0040] In another embodiment, laser light generator and laser sensor are mounted at
the bonnet of the vehicle. At the time of the accident, the laser light falling on laser sensor gets disturbed/displaced, which activates the alert sending device, and a message/alert is sent
20 to any or a combination of people, such as Fire service, Ambulance service, friends, and
family.
[0041] FIG. 1illustrates an exemplary module diagram of a proposed system, in
accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0042] In an embodiment, asystem 100 can be configured to be positioned within a
25 vehicle, for example, but not limited to, an automobile, a watercraft, an aircraft, a locomotive,
and or any other form of transportation that would allow system 100 to function as described herein. The proposed system 100 can include afirst laser transmitter 102, a second laser transmitter 104, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver 106 and an accurate position determining device 108. The first laser transmitter 102 can transmit laser beam about
30 a vertical axis towards the second lasertransmitter104. The first laser transmitter102 and
thesecond laser transmitter 104 can be separated by a pre-determined distance and are positioned on an automobile. If the automobilebangs any objectaccidentally then the first laser transmitter 102 and/or the second laser transmitter 104 can be displaced from one
9

position to another position and generates a first set of data packets. The first set of data
packet can be a notification or signal that indication of an occurrence of a collision.
[0043] In another embodiment, the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver
106 can be coupled to the first laser transmitter 102 and thesecond laser transmitter 104. The
5 GNSS106 can obtaincurrent position or location information of the automobile based on the
first set of generated packetsbased upon detection of the generation of the first set of data packets.
[0044] In another embodiment, the accurate position determining device 108 can be
communicably coupled to the first laser transmitter 102, thesecond laser transmitter 104, the
10 GNSS106. The device 108 can retrieve the obtained current position information from the
GNSS receiver 106. The device 106 can generate a second set of data packetsin real-time, based on obtained current position information andthe generated first set of data packets. For example, the second set of data packets can be SMS, message or push notification. Then, the device 106 can determine a contact number in real-time based onthe generated second set of
15 data packets and transmitsat least the second set of data packets. The contact number is
determined based on the severity of the accident. For example, whether to call a police station or an ambulance or a family or friend or all of them.
[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the system can include alerting means so that
the operator can make contact and alert emergency forces. Such alerting means can be a
20 phone, a computer with an Internet connection, a radio transmitter, etc., and accordingly, the
connection can be by phone line/cellular network, Internet connection, radio network, etc. Optionally, a base station computer/device can receive the signal and automatically alert emergency services without requiring an operator. For example, a receiving server can automatically send an emergency call to emergency forces immediately after it receives the
25 alert signal by internet (or any of the manners mentioned hereinabove). The computer/device
can also send to the emergency services the exact location of the accident.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, when an emergency occurs, and is sensed by
sensor 204, transmitters 102 and 104 can send a wireless emergency signal to a central processing station, such as a police station or other central monitoring station. The emergency
30 signal is coded to identify the type of emergency, such as vehicle accident, vehicle theft,
medical emergencies, etc., and also transmits the location data provided by GPS, and identification characteristics of the vehicle.
[0047] FIG. 2illustrates an exemplary front view of an automobile, in accordance
with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, lasers 206 and
10

laser sensors 204 can be installed around the vehicle 202.The vehicle 202 can be fitted with GNSS receiver 208.
[0048] In another embodiment, GNSS based tracker 208 can keep a record of the past
activities of vehicle. The past location of the vehicle can be monitored to make it easier to
5 find the same in case of an accident or collision. The accident may take place in an area of
almost negligible network connectivity. The history of past location can be stored in the device itself. A central server can be created to monitor past location of vehicle. In the worst case, the device may get completely destroyed after the accident. Tracking of past locations by server using multiple GNSS made it easy to find vehicle after accident even in worst
10 conditions. The device can be designed in such a manner as to avoid fake positives. Lasers
206 and laser sensors 204can be installed around the vehicle. The corners and edges of the vehicle can be for installment of laser 206 and laser sensors 204 for more accuracy. Any kind of accident can replace the laser206 and laser sensors 204 from their position and can activate the sensor connected to GNSS. The GNSS 208 can automatically send accident-related
15 notification such as email, SMS and automated phone call to concerned receivers depending
on the number of sensors displaced. The same has reduced the time for ambulance, fire brigade, friends and family members to reach the spot.
[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the GNSS based receiver 208 with cellular and
satellite connectivity can be located at the center of the vehicle. It is to ensure that the system
20 works even after the impact of collision. This position is too close to fuel tank. It can leak
after accident. That is why engine of automobile was used as a power source. It can only be installed on vehicles with engine immobilizer for safety reasons. It will be mechanically protected by the chassis at the time of collision. In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle 202 can be but is not limited to, a motorcycle, a car, a truck, a van, a bus or the like.
25 [0050] In another embodiment, the laser sensor 204 can be used to detect any
obstruction to laser light at the time of the accident. Both laser 206 and laser sensor 206 can get displaced from their positions at the time of accident. This event will activate the device and messages would be sent. Multiple sensors can be installed at different edges and sides to increase accuracy, and it can also be connected to black box in automobiles in future work.
30 Less cost and weight are advantages of this technology. It also makes it easy to implement it
on large scale. This technology may not work underground or in tunnels because of some limitations of radio waves.
[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the accident-related notifications preferably
inform a suitable entity of vehicular accident event-related data (e.g., the detection of the
11

accident, movement data, supplemental data, accident characteristics, etc.), but can include
any suitable accident-related information. Accident-related notifications can be presented to
authorities (e.g., a local police station), a service (e.g., emergency services, ride-sharing
services, valet services, mapping services, navigation services, etc.), user-selected contacts,
5 friends, family, loved ones, and/or any suitable entity. Accident-related notifications can
include content in the form of one or more of: audio, graphical, verbal, and/or other suitable forms. Further, accident-related notifications can be in the form of any one or more of: a phone call, a text message, an e-mail message, a printed message, a human notifier, and/or any other suitable form.
10 [0052] In another exemplary embodiment, the vehicle 202can include a sensor system
204 arranged on the vehicle for sensing an event requiring an emergency response, an accurate position determining device or GNSS 208 for determining the location of the vehicle, a communication device arranged on the vehicle for automatically communicating to a remote location when an event has occurred that the event has occurred and providing the
15 remote location with the determined location of the vehicle, and a power source for providing
power for the sensor system. The communication device communicates to the remote location upon an occurrence of the event. The GNSS 208 may be arranged partially or entirely on the vehicle or elsewhere.The sensor system may include an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a manually operated switch which enables an occupant of the vehicle to initiate a
20 communication to the remote location via the communications device, a temperature sensor, a
fire sensor, a smoke detector, a crash or collision sensor arranged to detect a crash involving the vehicle possibly requiring deployment of an occupant protection device, and/or a sound sensor or microphone arranged to receive and interpret vocal commands or to sense and recognize the sound associated with the deployment of an occupant protection device or a
25 crash involving the vehicle. The communication device may be structured and arranged to
transmit a signal indicative of deployment of the occupant protection device when the occupant protection device is deployed.Theaccurate position determining device may include a GPS receiver, a DGPS receiver, BeiDou receiver, a Galileo receiver and/or a GLONASS receiver.The communication device may be arranged to transmit location-related information
30 to the remote location, transmit waves toward a satellite and/or include a cell phone, DSRC,
other ground-based cellular communication device or internet communication device. Further, the communication device may be arranged to periodically or on-demand transmit information related to a condition of at least one of the sensor system, the location
12

determining device and the communication device. It can also be arranged to provide reception of informational and controlling requests from a remote location.
[0053] FIG. 3illustrates an exemplary flow diagramof a proposed system, in
accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
5 [0054] At step 302, retrieving current position information from at least one global
navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiverat a hardware processor of a computing device.
[0055] At step 304, generating a second set of data packets at the hardware processor,
in real-time, based at least on the obtained current position information and the first set of generated packets.
10 [0056] At step 306, determining a contact number at the hardware processor in real-
time, based on the generated second set of data packets.
[0057] At step 308, transmitting at least the second set of data packets to the
determined contact number, at the hardware processor. For example, in the case of a vehicle accident requiring medical assistance and/or fire assistance automatically notifies central
15 processing unit for the medical facility to immediately dispatch the closest emergency
vehicles to the location of the vehicle accident.
[0058] In some implementations, instead of or in addition to labelling vehicle
collisions as simply crash or non-crash incidents, the vehicle collisions may be labelled using a severity scale (e.g., a scale of one through four, with a rating of one indicating no crash or
20 minor crash and four indicating severe crash). Severity may be determined by automated
processes, such as by measuring the maximum or average magnitude of the acceleration during the vehicle collision, using sentiment analysis on call center logs or searching for keywords in call center logs that indicate severe collisions (such as injuries), or by manually listening to call center recordings and assigning a severity score based on the conversation
25 between the call center operator and the driver. Combinations of these techniques may be
used to assign crash severity ratings.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle collision can happen from any side.
The vehicle can even topple after multiple collisions. In this situation, emergency services can be informed depending on the severity of the accident. Even a minor accident on the
30 street can displace laser sensor. Displacement of three laser sensors can only take place by a
severe accident. The complete information can be sent to a central server. The vehicle may continue to move after a minor collision. The driver can change the gears or apply brakes even if the vehicle is stationary after the accident. The server comes to the conclusion that collision was minor and can be ignored. If the front laser sensors got completely displaced
13

then server comes to know that a major accident had taken place. Keeping record of complete
controls can unnecessarily slow down the network, so information of only speed was
transmitted to server. If the speed has dropped to zero suddenly and more than three laser
sensors got displaced then it needs attention. In case of multiple collisions, laser sensors got
5 displaced one after other. It may appear to be an ignorable case to server but only for a
fraction of second. The more sensors got deployed, more was the accuracy. Emergency services can be only informed in addition to it in two cases. First, everything got destroyed in accident then it would disconnect both sim and satellite communication. The vehicle may come back from underground location after say ten minutes or something. The central server
10 can distinguish between two situations. If the vehicle did not return from underground
situation in ten minutes then server would automatically inform emergency services. Second, the vehicle got damaged; multiple laser sensors can be displaced. The vehicle stopped moving. If the vehicle is in motion after the collision detection then only the friends and family can be informed by the server. They can be informed even if a single sensor got
15 displaced. Let us assume that the collision did not take place.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, in the proposed system, an engine can be used
as a power source, the device would immediately stop working if the vehicle fell into river. Server discovered that both sim and satellite communication got disconnected. Server sent a ping request. The reply was not received. The river water can take the vehicle away for many
20 kilometres. The server did keep history of past location. They reached the wrong location.
Since debris was not found, they must have realized that vehicle had floated with the river. The device was basically designed to detect accidents and inform emergency services if required.If collision occurred between vehicles then server would get same geographical location for two or more vehicles. If vehicle fell down from mountain after collision, then
25 observation from laser sensors and GNSS would be different.
