A large number of precious lives are lost due to road traffic accidents every day. The common reasons are driver's mistake and late response from emergency services. There is a need to have an effective road accident detection and information communication system in place to save injured persons. A system that sends information messages to nearby emergency services about the accident location for timely response is absolutely in need. In research literature, a number of automatic accident detection systems are proposed by numerous researchers. These include accident detection using smartphones, GSM and GPS technologies, vehicular ad-hoc networks and mobile applications. The implementation of an automatic road accident detection and information communication system in every vehicle is very crucial. This paper presents a brief review on automatic road accident detection techniques used to save affected persons. An automatic road accident detection technique based on low cost ultrasonic sensors is also proposed.
