Low Cost Motorcycle Crash Detection

In developing countries, motorcycles are a vital mode of transport in remote areas and in challenging terrain due to their low cost and efficiency. However, they are also one of the most dangerous forms of transport. This paper proposes an easily implementable solution to motorcycle crash detection and reporting. This system uses a 3-axis accelerometer to detect rotational acceleration along the polar axis. Data is transmitted to a smart-phone over BLE. This system is easily implementable due to its low cost.
