In this research, we suggested a vision-based traffic accident detection system for automatically detecting, recording, and reporting traffic accidents at intersections. This model first extracts the vehicles from the video image of CCD camera, tracks the moving vehicles, and extracts features such as the variation rate of the velocity, position, area, and direction of moving vehicles. The mode...

introduction: sleepiness may predispose drivers to road traffic accidents. obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common medical cause of sleepiness. hence increased neck circumference (nc) and obesity are known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk factors. this study was conducted to assess osas role in occurrence of road traffic accidents in sleeping drivers of commercial heavy vehi...

In Belgium, traffic safety is currently one of the government’s highest priorities. Identifying and profiling black spots and black zones in terms of accident related data and location characteristics must provide new insights into the complexity and causes of road accidents which, in turn, provide valuable input for government actions. In this paper, association rules are used to identify acci...

This study aimed to identify the occurrence, type and mechanisms of the traumatic injuries of the vulnerable road users in vehicle collisions, and to determine the effects of human, engineering, and environment factors on traffic accidents and injuries. The pedestrian accident cases were collected in the years 2000 to 2005 from Changsha Wujing hospital China and Accident Research Unit at Medica...

Analysis of road accident is very important in a developing country. This projects aims at designing a cloud based framework for analysing road accident. The reason for accidents are because of various factors like road conditions, vehicle conditions, human driving conditions, weather conditions, experience of drivers and nature of traffic. It is highly possible that these accidents occur due t...

Accident detection systems help reduce fatalities stemming from car accidents by decreasing the response time of emergency responders. Smartphones and their onboard sensors (such as GPS receivers and accelerometers) are promising platforms for constructing such systems. This paper provides three contributions to the study of using smartphone-based accident detection systems. First, we describe ...

Child pedestrian accidents are the most common road traffic accident resulting in injury. Much of the existing work on road traffic accidents is based on analysing clusters of accidents despite evidence that child pedestrian accidents tend to be more dispersed than this. This paper analyses pedestrian accidents in 573 children aged 0-11 years by a locally derived deprivation score for the years...

Accident detection systems help reduce fatalities stemming from car accidents by decreasing the response time of emergency responders. Wireless mobile sensor networks coupled with smartphones and their onboard sensors (such as GPS receivers and accelerometers) are promising platforms for constructing such systems. This paper provides three contributions to the study of using smartphone-based wi...
