ACCIDENT ALERT SYSTEM APPLICATION USING A PRIVACY-PRESERVING BLOCKCHAIN-BASED
Abstract : In this era of rapid growth of vehicles, the ratio of road accident increases day by day. Nowadays, Traffic incidents are persistent problems in both developed and developing countries which result in huge loss of life and property. No one in this world is ready to gaze what’s happening around them. Nobody cares even when an accident occurs. This paper provides an innovative solution by developing an Accident Alert Message System using an Android Smartphone Application that can be used from the accident zone. The application uses GPS technology for location mapping and sends an alert and notification of an accident.
The generated accident alert message is endorsed by the nearby registered users who also witness the accident to ensure the increased reputation of the message. Based on the endorsement of the message, the system will instantly transmit the location of the accident to the nearby emergency services. In this case, users usually lack the enthusiasm to generate or endorse alert messages because they might fear that their privacy will be breached. At the same time, users do not benefit from generating or endorsing alert messages which also makes them lack the enthusiasm or motivation to respond to messages. In order to provide a solution to resolve these issues, this paper presents a novel privacy-preserving Block chain – Based Incentive Mechanism for Accident Alert Message System. The main objective of the paper is to encourage the users to generate and endorse accident alert messages from the accident zone without revealing the user’s identity. Also, some incentives to the users are paid to the message generators and endorsers and the transactions get stored based on the Block chain technology; hence the privacy of the user is preserved. Our proposed system ensures the reliability of alert messages without revealing the privacy of the user and is reliable and efficient in the non-fully-trusted environment.
The Present existing system is very poorly structured and has little impact. Every time an accident occurs , there is a delay in action initiated and this leads to loss of valuable life. The golden hour which is crucial in saving a person’s life is entirely dependent on the speed of information transfer. The accident is identified by the nearby people or the victim itself.
1. Manual system is adopted.
2. Tracking of accident is a crucial process in the system.
3. Required medical attention cannot be given to the needed person.
4. Life loss and Property loss were not stopped in large scale.
The proposed accident alert system is designed using an android application. To save lives of people in road accidents, the application is initially developed and its role comes to play in grievous situations such road accidents which occur in rural areas especially during the night hours when chances of arriving of help are difficult . The pre-designed Accident Alert System Android Application gets installed in the user’s Smartphone. In the application, the user needs to register their details by providing some basic information. Whenever an accident happens, any user who witnesses an accident called initiator who is having an accident alert system application account may send that accident alert message through the application to the nearby registered vehicle users in the application. The application uses GPS technology for location mapping and sends an alert message containing the location along with time to the nearby users for the endorsement of the message.
The registered user who is nearby to the accident location may get an accident alert message notification in their Smartphone’s application. The user who is receiving the alert message may or may not endorse a message based on their interest. In addition to that, the user might fear thatthat their privacy will be breached when they endorse a received alert message. To encourage the users to endorse an alert message without revealing the user’s identity, a privacy-preserving Block chain- based Incentive mechanism gets introduced. The initiator may provide some incentives to the users who authenticate their already sent alert message. Based on the endorsement of the message, the initiator sends an accident alert message containing the accident’s latitude and longitude location to the nearby emergency services. Once the emergency services like a police station, Ambulance service received the alert message, they provide some incentives to the alert message initiator. All those transactions get stored based on the Block chain technology and hence the privacy of the user is preserved. The ultimate goal of our system is to provide immediate police service and immediate location tracking of where the accident occurs.
? Alerts police and medical units about accidents.
? Reliable system.
? Easy to operate.
? Monitors hazards and threats.
? Sophisticated security.
? A Automated system is used once the accident occurs.
? This system gives the Latitude and Longitude of the system accident occurred area without any delay.
? More Human life can be saved using this auto mated system.
