Abstract

Since the last decade, Malaysia has experienced a remarkable period of economic expansion and growth in all the major areas. Economy and population growth bring about modern industrialization and increase volume of automobiles on the roads. The population increases at an average rate of 3% per year. For networking and easier access, better and more roads have been built, so do the number of vehicles registered has increased many folds. The increase in population and motorization has led to a significant increase in the number of road accidents, some experiencing grave fatalities. Statistics reveal that accidents are on the increase annually, where the average accident rate among cars remains high, well over 25% per month, especially on highways and trunk roads in urban areas. From the Operasi Statik, an operation introduced by the police to monitor and reduce the number of accidents on the road during festivals, hundreds of Malaysians died during each festival period. Many more suffered serious and permanent injuries. Very often, help arrives late because information on the accident is vague and the location cannot be identified instantly. In general, casualties can be reduced if rescue teams such as the ambulance and the police can arrive at the accident scenes quicker to render assistance. Therefore, the idea of developing accident detector software becomes essential in order to alert the service providers more prepared and to response faster. The software program, written in VB.net is developed to record whatever information transmitted by the transmitter, the sensor is installed in the vehicle that is involved in an accident. Special codes to indicate the severity of the crash will be relayed in short messages data to the base station.
