Pedestrian Accident Rescue System
Shivani Agarwal
Abstract: Today road accidents are rising at an alarming rate and 16 % of the total number of road accidents involves pedestrian out of which ironically 20 % of the accident takes place at the zebra crossing. The paper presents the idea of pedestrian accident rescue system which will help preventing accidents at pedestrian crossing; thickly pedestrian crowded area such as ; school periphery and playground. First; a geophone will be deployed at the pedestrian accident prone area ; which will convert the ground movement (caused by the pedestrians) into electrical voltage which is recorded and sent to the traffic system recording station. Second; the recording station is syncronised with the traffic lights nearest to the accident prone area ; which will indicate a specific light say red; to make the driver aware of the fact of crowded pedestrian at the impending junction.
