RESQ is an Android application designed to enhance driving safety by providing real-time monitoring and assistance to drivers in emergency situations. The app includes features such as user authentication, emergency contact registration, driving mode activation, and accident detection using accelerometer sensors. In case of an accident, the app sends an alert message to the user's designated emergency contacts, containing live location details for immediate assistance.
-
User Authentication: Users can register and log in to the RESQ app using their email and password, ensuring secure access to the application's features.
-
Emergency Contact Registration: Users are required to register two emergency contacts who will be notified in case of an accident or emergency situation while driving.
-
Driving Mode Activation: RESQ includes a driving mode feature that users can activate while driving to enable real-time monitoring of their driving behavior and safety.
-
Accident Detection: The app continuously monitors the user's activity using accelerometer sensors. In the event of a sudden impact or change in movement indicative of an accident, RESQ detects the accident and initiates emergency protocols.
-
Emergency Alert System: Upon detecting an accident, RESQ sends an alert message to the user's registered emergency contacts. The message contains the user's live location details obtained from Google Maps, enabling emergency responders to reach the user's location quickly.
