Abstract
A system for detecting a car accident and alerting emergency forces to an accident, including a smart mobile device having an accelerometer, a GPS unit, a processor connected thereto. The processor receives real time readings of measurement values received from the accelerometer and the GPS unit, runs a dedicated application to detect the occurrence of a car accident according to the readings received within a period of time, and generates an alert signal when an accident is detected. The system also includes a memory connected to the accelerometer, the GPS unit and the processor, to store the measurement values and information for a predetermined period of time, and a transmitter connected to the processor and the memory to send the alert signal and the measurement values and information stored within the memory. The system also includes a base station including a receiver, and a unit for alerting emergency forces.
