5G and IoT Based Reporting and Accident Detection (RAD) System to Deliver First Aid Box Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G are enabling intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). ITSs promise to improve road safety in smart cities. Therefore, ITSs are gaining earnest devotion in the industry as well as in academics. Due to the rapid increase in population, vehicle numbers are increasing, resulting in a large number of road accidents. The majority of the time, casualties are not appropriately discovered and reported to hospitals and relatives. This lack of rapid care and first aid might result in life loss in a matter of minutes. To address all of these challenges, an intelligent system is necessary. Although several information communication technologies (ICT)-based solutions for accident detection and rescue operations have been proposed, these solutions are not compatible with all vehicles and are also costly. Therefore, we proposed a reporting and accident detection system (RAD) for a smart city that is compatible with any vehicle and less expensive. Our strategy aims to improve the transportation system at a low cost. In this context, we developed an android application that collects data related to sound, gravitational force, pressure, speed, and location of the accident from the smartphone. The value of speed helps to improve the accident detection accuracy. The collected information is further processed for accident identification. Additionally, a navigation system is designed to inform the relatives, police station, and the nearest hospital. The hospital dispatches UAV (i.e., drone with first aid box) and ambulance to the accident spot. The actual dataset from the Road Safety Open Repository is used for results generation through simulation. The proposed scheme shows promising results in terms of accuracy and response time as compared to existing techniques.

Exploring 5G Key Technologies for Helicopter Aviation Medical Rescue

“…(5) Improving 5G emergency equipment: 5G modular devices with higher transmission rates, lower latency, and lower power consumption can be explored to better adapt to various environments and application scenarios [17,21] . (6) Improvement in the functions of emergency platforms: Besides real-time audio and video communications, emergency platforms with more intelligent functions can be developed, such as real-time data analysis, intelligent diagnostic advice, and so forth, to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of aerial medical treatment [22,23] . The 5G key technologies used in helicopter aviation medical rescue can better meet practical application needs through the aforementioned technological improvements and play a significant role in improving medical rescue efficiency and treatment level.…”

Traffic Management: Multi-Scale Vehicle Detection in Varying Weather Conditions Using YOLOv4 and Spatial Pyramid Pooling Network

“…The task of object detection aims to detect instances of different objects for example humans [27][28][29][30], animals [31][32][33], trees [34][35][36][37], vehicles [38][39][40][41] or other items present in digital media such as images and video frames. To automate this task machine and deep learning involves developing computational models which are trained by learning class-specific features using huge amount of annotated data and then localizing and generating bounding boxes around each instance and label them.…”
