Poster: Smart-Phones as Active Sensing Platform for Road Safety Solutions

Multidimensional sensing capability of a smart-phone based accelerometer and gyroscope provide detailed information about changes in magnitude and direction of forces experienced in 3D space. This leads to a better resolution of the events occurring during a collision which can be detected using a signature of such events. Event logs can further provide a deep insight for a detailed forensic analysis thus aid in realizing the knowledge for causes of collisions.
