Abstract— Vehicular traffic collisions have become a major health concern nowadays. Traffic accidents are increasing every year with increase in number of vehicles. Various techniques have been proposed previously to assist the injured people in road accidents. It includes automatic estimation of severity about collisions and also to deploy emergency services to affected people. Present scenario gives the capability to notify them based on the concept of knowledge discovery on databases (KDD) and data mining processes. The proposed idea here is a novel and intelligent system to introduce a pre-collision warning system inside vehicles. This continuously monitors the driver status by detecting emotions by using sensors. It checks the pulse rate of the driver and gives alert when he is under stress and gives the message in display. By integrating Android application, the voice alert is provided to the passengers hence enhances more safe and comfort drive. Thus the work proposes a system that reduces the chance for accidents. Further in the case if crash occurs, the system automatically gives the information to the nearby rescue home within no time. The data is transmitted with the help of a wireless communication network and reaches the control unit. The control unit may be fixed at the hospital or nearby rescue center. The data sent includes time, location, severity of collision thereby ensures properly and timely assistance to the persons injured in collision. Index Terms— Android server application, Auto smart sensing unit, Embedded unit, Pre-collision warning system, Rescue alert. —————————— —————————— 1
INTRODUCTION
NDIA being a populated country, road traffic has also been getting Imore and more congested, as a higher population and increased business activities result in greater demand for cars and vehicles for transportation. It was focused on how to build efficient highways and roads. Then it was changed to concentrate in the pursuit of building faster automobiles to surmount greater distances. Later the technology revolutionized the cars embedding with sensors and advanced electronics to make cars more intelligent, sensitive and safe to drive. The reason behind to incorporate the safety factor in it is the increased number of road fatalities. There are many aspects of road safety namely status of road, prevention of crash, traffic collision warning, obstacle detection and emergency responses. Previous methods of assistances and emergency responses were based on post crash detection system [3].The rescue time after the crash is called by golden hour. It is the time within which medical or surgical intervention by a specialized trauma team has the greatest chance of rescuing life. The chances of survival falls when the saving time elapses below 60 minutes. When an accident occurs, crash detection systems can increase the protection of vehicle occupants by detecting and recognizing the type and severity of the collision, taking protection measures by analyzing the impact of accidents occurred.

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) being a major health concern, it is estimated that about 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries occurs every year in the world. RTA (Road Traffic Accidents) are the main cause for death injuries in Ethiopia and Korea. Thus, methods to reduce accident severity are of great interest to traffic agencies and the public at large [1].In India it is estimated that about 1.4 million serious road collisions occurs annually, hardly 0.4 million are recorded. Actually the real causes and consequences are never known and only minimal percentage of accidents are investigated. On analyzing socio-economic, political conditions, generally, punishments are offended to larger vehicles. The only remedy to improve road safety is to understand the causes and consequences of road collisions so as to work out preventive measures. 2 CAUSES FOR TRAFFIC COLLISIONS The road fatalities usually happens due to many manmade and road errors. Other contributing causes are detailed as due to stress, drowsiness and disobeying rules of road.
