Vehicle accidents are by all accounts appalling and frightening occasions occurring which cause various deaths. As the number of accidents per year is increasing tremendously and so the lives affected by accidents. There are traditional ways to help the needy or the victim that is informing the right authority but needs assistance or help from others, but this tends to take ample of time and due to it could cost lives. So there is a need to develop an accident detection system that would detect and alert the proper authorities about the accident. The sudden assistance to the alert would in return lead to saving as many lives as possible. Many researchers have analyzed this technique using Convolutional neural network, HDNN, RCNN, etc. This paper will give us an overview of various techniques or methods that are used to detect accidents.

A MOBILE DISASTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING THE ANDROID TECHNOLOGYAM Publications
The numbers countries in the world vulnerable to natural hazards because of its geographic location. It
also lacks an efficient disaster management system that will help in times of need. One common scenario during
disasters is that the activity of rescue and relief is not well-coordinated. For this reason, there is a need for a system
that will help in the efficient provision of rescue and relief to disaster-affected areas. Since the use of smart phones is
gaining interest in people, the disaster management system was implemented as a smart phone application using
Google’s Android operating system. The disaster management system Android application known as MyDisasterDroid
determines the optimum route along different geographical locations that the volunteers and rescuers need to take in
order to serve the most number of people and provide maximum coverage of the area in the shortest possible time.
Genetic algorithm was applied for optimization and different parameters were varied to determine the most optimum
route.

Sentinel-Asia is a “voluntary and best-efforts-basis initiative” led by the APRSAF to share disaster information in the Asia-Pacific region on the Digital Asia (Web-GIS) platform and to make the best use of Earth observation satellite data for disaster management in the Asia-Pacific region. The Sentinel Asia Project, carried out since 2006, is the first step in the Disaster Management Support System in the Asia-Pacific region. It utilizes Earth observation satellite data with the aim of: - Constructing a 'life-first society' through ICT & Space technology - Improving the quickness and accuracy of disaster preparedness and early warnings - Minimizing the number of victims and social economic losses due to disasters The Joint Project Team (JPT) was organized to support the SA project and consists of 58 organizations from 28 countries and regions and 9 international organizations. JAXA is acting as the Secretariat of the JPT. Sentinel Asia is promoted through cooperation amongst APRSAF, international agencies like UNESCAP, UNOOSA, ASEAN, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), etc., disaster reduction agencies like the Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC), its member countries, as well as through the Digital Asia agencies, Keio University, and others as well.
This chart shows the concept of Sentinel Asia STEP 2. On the left is the observation system by space agencies. On the right are disaster management organizations. Sentinel Asia is a kind of new collaboration between space agencies and disaster management organizations. The point of STEP 2 is to create value-added information from satellite imagery, transmit this information to users even in narrowband areas using communication satellites, such as KIZUNA, in addition to the online information sharing in STEP 1, and to expand the number of users in cooperation with UNESCAP. Finally, these activities are supported by a human network, which is one of the most important and precious factors in Sentinel Asia.
The Joint Project Team (JPT) has been organized to support the SA project, and consists of 58 organizations from 28 countries and regions and 9 international organizations. Sentinel Asia provides an opportunity for JPT members to exchange opinions. This JPTM has been held five times since 2007. This picture shows the second Step 2 JPTM held in Manila, Philippines, in July 2010
Currently five Earth observation satellites are participating in Sentinel Asia: ALOS from JAXA, Japan; Resource sat from ISRO, India; THEOS from GISTAD, Thailand; KOMPSAT-1 from KARI, Korea; and FORMOSAT from NARL. Taiwan. These satellites provide imagery when disasters strike.
This is the flow of the EO. ADRC acts the focal point of the EO. When disaster occur . JPT member or ADRC member request the EO to ADRC through Sentinel Asia web site. ADRC judges to forward the EOR to Space agency participates Sentinel Asia, according to the latest disaster information. If it is yes, ADRC forwards the EOR to Space agency. Space agency implements the EO immediately and provides the image to the requester through Sentinel Asia web site or directly. Additionally the data analyzer such as AIT process those image data and provide to requester through Sentinel Asia web site or directly. Basically public people can download the image data or processed image data from Sentinel ASIA web site.
To solve the narrowband Internet problem, Sentinel Asia Step 2 applies the communication satellite KIZUNA for data distribution. Sentinel Asia Step 2 utilizes KIZUNA’s high-speed communication and transfers the information of the central server in Japan to the regional servers set up in each region. The maximum speed of KIZUNA’s high-speed communication is 155Mbps, making data transmission very fast.
To solve the narrowband Internet problem, Sentinel Asia applies the communication satellite WINDS (KIZUNA) to data distribution. Sentinel Asia utilizes KIZUNA’s high-speed communication and transfers the information of the central server in Japan to the regional servers set up in each region. Sentinel Asia installed the Winds Terminals in Bangkok (GISTDA) and Manila (ASTI) in 2009, and started data distribution to each server. In 2010, Sentinel Asia is installing Winds Terminals in seven more countries: Indonesia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Fiji, and will distribute data to the servers there. It is better to contact Bangkok server for Lao people.
Up to now, we implemented module 1 and 2 completely. And in Lao PDR, module 3 and 4 have finished.
The progress of this project is open to public by the web site. Please contact from here.
