Abstract

Road accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury and death worldwide, and delays in detecting and reporting them significantly increase the risk of severe outcomes. Conventional CCTV-based surveillance depends heavily on human operators, making continuous, error-free monitoring of multiple video feeds impractical. This paper presents an AI-Powered Real-Time Accident Detection and Emergency Response System with Vehicle Forensic Analysis that continuously monitors live CCTV streams using YOLOv11 for vehicle detection and DeepSORT for multi-object tracking to identify collisions automatically. Upon detecting an accident, the system assesses its severity, stores the event in a relational database, and instantly dispatches alerts through SMS, email, voice call, and a monitoring dashboard. A dedicated forensic module then reconstructs the incident by extracting collision frames, recognizing number plates through Optical Character Recognition (OCR), estimating vehicle speed, and retrieving owner records, culminating in an automatically generated digital forensic PDF report for use by police, insurers, and legal authorities. Experimental evaluation across varied traffic and lighting conditions confirms reliable accident detection, fast alert dispatch, and consistent forensic report generation, demonstrating the system's potential to shorten emergency response times and streamline post-accident investigation

AI-Powered Road Accident Detection Using Learning

Road accidents are a major cause of injuries, fatalities, and traffic disruptions worldwide. Timely detection of vehicle accidents is critical for providing quick emergency response and reducing the impact of such incidents. This project presents an AI-powered real-time Vehicle Accident Detection system developed using Python, OpenCV, and Deep Learning techniques. The system analyzes live video streams or recorded footage to automatically detect and classify vehicle accidents.The proposed approach uses computer vision methods through OpenCV to process video frames and extract meaningful visual information. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is trained on image and video datasets containing accident and non-accident scenarios. The CNN model learns spatial features such as vehicle movement, collision patterns, and sudden changes in motion to accurately identify accident events. Once an accident is detected, the system can generate automatic alerts to notify concerned authorities or emergency services.This project demonstrates an end-to-end implementation, starting from dataset preparation and model training to real-time deployment. The system improves accident detection accuracy compared to traditional methods and reduces dependency on manual monitoring. Overall, this AI-based accident detection system highlights the effective use of deep learning and computer vision technologies to enhance road safety and support faster emergency response mechanisms

Real-Time Accident Detection and Data Analysis in Vehicles Using Data-Level Sensor Fusion, Machine Learning with LoRa, and Li-Fi Communication

Motor vehicle accidents continue to be among the primary causes of mortality and serious injury across the globe. Traditional road accident detection and safety measures utilize either few sensors or a single mode of communication that might have a negative impact on the accuracy of identifying accidents and responding to emergencies. An Accident Detection and Data level sensor fusion is presented based on data-level sensor fusion and ML-based communication technologies. The recommended design incorporates (i) a range of sensors like the accelerometer, gyroscope, ultrasonic sensor, speed sensor, brake switch, and humidity sensor that constantly track vehicle dynamics and environment, (ii) machine learning systems that help process data from these sensors and detect collision incidents, (iii) Li-Fi communication technology for transferring alerts to other cars, and (iv) Long-range LoRa communications system used for notifying accident notifications and providing emergency alert information over long distances. Once there is any accident, then the system notes down the geolocation of the accident and provides information about that to rescue services and concerned people to help provide timely support. Data gathered is also used to analyze any accident to find out the reason behind the accident. The developed system uses techniques like data level sensor fusion, intelligent decisions, inter-vehicle communications, alerting of emergencies, and location tracking into one integrated framework.
