01Executive Overview
An intelligent accident detection and rapid emergency dispatch system combining IoT sensor telemetry with deep learning computer vision models (ResNet and InceptionResNetV2) to detect vehicular collisions and alert emergency services instantly.
02The Engineering Challenge
Operational Problem & Constraints
Critical friction and failure modes observed in existing workflows
Traffic accident fatalities often occur due to delayed emergency response ("the Golden Hour"). Traditional alerting relies on victims or bystanders calling emergency services, which fails when victims are incapacitated or accidents occur in remote areas.
03Architecture & Technical Solution
System Architecture & Algorithmic Design
Engineering methodology, model selection, and pipeline design
Developed a multi-modal accident detection system that correlates IoT accelerometer and impact sensor data with real-time roadside camera video stream analysis. Integrated pre-trained ResNet and InceptionResNetV2 models to filter false positives and trigger automated SMS and GPS coordinate alerts to nearby hospitals and emergency response teams.
04Quantified Impact & Benchmarks
Empirical Outcomes & Performance Metrics
Validated benchmarks, latency figures, and operational efficiency
Slashed emergency dispatch latency from an average of 15 minutes to under 30 seconds, providing precise GPS coordinates and severity classification to first responders.
05Core Capabilities & System Features
01
Real-time video stream analysis for collision identification
02
IoT sensor data fusion for multi-signal impact confirmation
03
