Article Overview

Abstract  

Now a day’s use of mobile phone is increased so that the pedestrian mobile phone users also increased. Walking by using the mobile phone may cause various accidents with pedestrians. To provide a safety to pedestrian mobile phone user there are various apps are developed to detect a vehicle, object in front and surface change. But none of these apps provide a safety in the crowded area. So we have proposed UltraAlert, which uses ultrasonic sensor and Android inbuilt sensors to detect a hazard in the crowded area. The ultrasonic sensor measures a ranging distance with the help of hardware interface unit to detect an abrupt change in the crowded area. Android inbuilt sensor and proposed algorithms provide the accuracy for detection with leveraging the sensors usability to reduce energy consumption and unnecessary alarm.

Keywords: Pedestrian mobile phone users, surface change detection, inertial and external sensors, human walk, walk speed estimation, pedestrian safety.
