Android smartphone app will automatically detect the accident that will be occurred. The app immediately retrieves the GPS location and activates an alarm screen. With one tap, the user can request emergency assistance. The app calls the local emergency number and sends SMS alerts to predefined contacts. The alerts provide accident details including location coordinates, number of passengers, and crash characteristics. Development challenges include accurately identifying crashes across varying conditions while minimizing false positives, integrating with onboard vehicle systems for additional data, addressing cybersecurity risks, optimizing for minimal battery usage, and easing privacy concerns over data collection. If technical obstacles can be overcome, such an automated crash detection and emergency alert app could help expedite emergency responses and improve road safety outcomes. Intended as an low-cost, scalable supplementary crash alert system, it has the potential to save lives worldwide.
