Abstract: 60% of motor vehicle crash fatalities took place because crashes are not reported within the golden hour which is a deciding factor of weather a person will survive the crash or not. An accident can take place through a number of external factors like road rage, poor infrastructure etc. This paper proposes a crash detection algorithm through which a motor vehicle crash can be detected irrespective of the reason of the crash. GPS co-ordinates, gyroscope, magnetometer, accelerometer data is used by the algorithm, which combines the data to identify a crash. This algorithm will be able to accurately detect a crash and save millions of precious human lives.
