Vehicle and Patient Monitoring Using Wireless Black Box

Abstract

In this project, wireless black box using MEMS accelerometer and GPS tracking system is developed for accidental monitoring. The system consists of cooperative components of an accelerometer, microcontroller unit, GPS device and GSM module. In the event of accident, this wireless device will send mobile phone short message indicating the position of vehicle by GPS system to family member, Emergency medical service (EMS) and nearest hospital. And heartbeat sensor is detecting the heartbeat of the patient and report send to the doctor. The threshold algorithm and speed of motorcycle are used to determine fall or accident in real-time. The system is compact and easy to install under rider seat. The system has been tested in real world application using bicycles. The test results show that it can detect linear fall, non-linear and normal ride with high accuracy.
