Most individuals involved in traffic accidents receive assistance from drivers, passengers, or other people. However, when a traffic accident occurs in a sparsely populated area or the driver is the only person in the vehicle and the crash results in loss of consciousness, no one will be available to send a distress message to the proper authorities within the golden window for medical treatment. Considering these issues, a method for detecting high-speed head-on and single-vehicle collisions,

To address such issues, this paper proposes a deep learning-based Internet of Vehicles (IoV) system called DeepCrash, which includes an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) telematics platform with a vehicle self-collision detection sensor and a front camera, a cloud-based deep learning server, and a cloud-based management platform. When a head-on or single-vehicle collision is detected, accident detection information is uploaded to the cloud-based database server for self-collision vehicle accident recognition, and a related emergency notification is provided. The experimental results show that the accuracy of traffic collision detection can reach 96% and that the average response time for emergencyrelated announcements is approximately 7 s.
