Ludhiana: CT University’s ‘Research and Innovation Centre for
Excellence’ students namely Batina Jennifer (Robotics), Kiran Reddy (AI) and
Gurpreet Kaur (ME) after getting inspired from brain child of Ati Priye, CRC
Manager designed and developed an accident sensing module for four wheel
vehicle.
This accident sensing module can be mounted on the dashboard of vehicle
and will be connected to the smart phone of driver via Bluetooth through an
android app. If any impactful collision occurs, the sensor will generate a
signal and an emergency message along with location will be sent to the
registered emergency contacts, nearby hospitals, police stations, toll plazas
and nearby vehicles having the same android application. Thus this module can
save lives by providing quick first aid or medical assistance to accident
victims.
Explaining further, Jaspreet Singh, Research and Development Engineer,
said, “It is equipped with an unique AVR processor based sensing system which
senses the fatal accident impact only and do not sense road jerks and sudden
braking or acceleration impact. This sensing technology can sense collision
from any direction of vehicle. The team has also filled technology patent to
secure this invention. The overall project is named URAA which stands for You
Are at Aid. Team is planning the start-up the production of this device at
large scale. The first prototype is already developed and tested. This
prototype is equipped with an onboard GPS and SIM device which itself sends the
message and location.”
Dr Harsh Sadawarti, Vice Chancellor CTU appreciated the efforts of the
team and also said that the team is also working upon development of the same
device to a compact one of the size of a computer mouse with onboard
rechargeable battery. The cost of final commercializable product will be below
Rs 2000 along with free android application. So every person can afford it and
it can help save countless lives. He further congratulated the team.
Manbir Singh, Managing Director, congratulated the team for the
successful venture.
