Smart accident response system: non-GPS location and nearby hospital detection with medical record transmission

Abstract This paper introduces a smart accident response system designed to address limitations in conventional emergency medical services for vehicular accidents. Unlike previous systems relying on Global Positioning System (GPS) modules and their antenna, this device uses non-GPS Google Geo-location methods for instant accident location identification. It locates the three nearest hospitals within a 5 km radius and automatically emails the medical records of victims and directions to the accident site to both the healthcare provider and family members in less than 2 min. By overcoming challenges related to location inaccuracy, especially in urban canyons or areas with poor satellite visibility, delayed medical information and unavailability of onsite medical records during rescue operations, and communication inefficiencies with family members and doctors, our smart accident response device integrates with current autonomous vehicle aims to improve emergency medical responses, leading to improved patient outcomes in critical situations.
