ABSTRACT
India is lagging behind other countries due to emergency medical response. This is because
of lack of implementation in technology. To resolve this problem, we are introducing
ambulance service. This Android based mobile application project will totally change the
native way of calling an ambulance and it will be more efficient and reliable. The app reacts
with just one tab on the button and it will send the notification of user’s details and location
via GPRS to nearby ambulance control centre. By the use of Internet of Things and by using
smartphone technologies it will help every smartphone user. The application collects
location information from Global Positing System (GPS) hardware and uses Google Map
Application Programming Interface (API) to plot details of the ambulances on the Google
Map Client of the Smartphone App. Same functionalities can be used for other services
which helps the user to find out ambulance easily.

1.INTRODUCTION
In today’s era, there are many countries which are working on transforming themselves into
Smart Countries. If the city is going to be called as Smart City, then it should have all possible
achievements in the sector of smart technology which is needed. This is most challenging
and difficult job is to improve efficiency in healthcare sector. It includes various aspects such
as getting ambulance in minimum amount of time, providing proper treatment to the
patient so that the chance of surviving increases in critical condition. Due to traffic many
problems are raised in urban areas which have caused much difficulty for the ambulance.
Now a days, road accidents in the city have been increased an d to bar the loss of life due to
the accidents is even more crucial. We can overcome these limitations by upcoming

technology like Internet of Things and also ambulance service [1]. Various hardware devices
can be connected with each other via wired and wireless networking tools and software
implementations by which service will be provided faster to the users. By keeping these
things in mind we’ve developed this application. It is also an attempt to participate actively
in the process of transforming into smart city and make required services more accessible
will help users [2].

2. LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 OLA cab service:

Ola Cab was founded on 3 December 2010 by Bhavish Aggarwal, currently CEO, and Ankit
Bhati. As of 2017, the company has expanded more than 600,000 vehicles across 110 cities.
In November 2014, Ola diversified to incorporate autos on trial basis in Bangalore. Post the
trial phase, Ola Auto expanded to other cities like Delhi, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad and
Kolkata starting December 2014. In December 2015, Ola expanded auto services in Mysore,
Chandigarh, Indore, Jaipur and Guwahati, Visakhapatnam. Ola was valued at $US5 billion as
on September 2015.

2.2 E-Ambulance:
Real-Time Integration for Heterogeneous Medical Telemetry System: - (IEEE Paper by: -
Basem Almadania, Manaf Bin -Yahyaa, Elhadi M. Shakshukib Year 2015). The aim is to
advance the healthcare services with the improvement of sensor networks, medical devices,
wireless communication, and end software applications. Indoor and outdoor health
monitoring systems attracts many researchers, because they provide early detection of
diseases, emergency help, and reducing the medical costs. In health monitoring systems,
periodic physiological statuses of people must be collected using sensors a nd delivered to
medical professionals through a communication system. Alongside this periodic data, these
systems must provide emergency reports under critical situations of it. Gathering of
different vital signs depends on the purpose of the healthcare sy stem and its concern are
most important. Many patients with critical conditions lose their lives while they are inside
an ambulance due to lack of aid to survive. Medical professionals who may be able to save
their lives are in medical centre. Therefore, only first aid can be provided in an ambulance
and essential treatments will take place in those medical centres. Towards this end, this
literature proposes an E-Ambulance system to provide remote health monitoring with auto
matic responses while patients are still in the ambulance. In normal situations, the
ambulance is ordered to carry Patients to medical centre (such as a hospital). Many issues
may occur in regards to patients’ conditions and the need to deliver them to a medical
centre urgent.

3.1 Overview of project:

The ambulance service depends upon module that search ambulance by location through
GPS. This module can be use, to implement and finding the location of ambulance of
particular place within users’ location. Th is application also can be use, to search near by
ambulance from searched location on map of user’s current location. Here user’s location is
traced using GPS. The location is retrieved in the form latitude and longitude. E.g., 19.54526,
73.87099. This is the format of the latitude and longitude. Depending on the user’s location,
server processes the data and matches with records stored into the database. Here users’
location is traced through GPS. After processing data, the result of user’s query is sent back
to the user. Smartphone application reads the response of the server and retrieves the data
which is required and places it on to Google map client of smartphone device or displays in a
listed format depending on the user’s preference. It makes easier t o understand the user.
This can be done using Google Map API’s functionality. There is a set of predefined markers
that are made available in Google Map API. But for user’s convenience custom pins are
used. This API guideline is provided in Google Maps documentation.

3.2 Android
Android is the world’s most popular and dominant mobile operating system which is used
very widely. It is based on Linux kernel, java, SQLite and is open-source operating system. It
runs on wide variety of hard ware including smartphone, smartwatches, cars, televisions,
digital cameras, games console and more. It was founded by Andy Rubin and three other
members in October 2003 and got acquired by Google in August 2005. Android applications
are easy to develop and understandable by everyone .
Main Function of android is-
 Activity.
 Services.

4. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT
4.1 Hardware Requirements
 Smart mobile Phone
 CPU – Quad-core Max 1.40GHz
 Internal memory-537.4MB

4.2 Software Requirements

6. WORKING OF OUR PROJECT

In our application we are giving facility of booking ambulance similarly like how we book
cabs. It will be very important application for us from which we can reduce time and deliver
patient on time. In our application there will be two modules in which one will b e for
user/patient and other will be for ambulance driver. In our project data will be kept safely
and in systematic way which will easy to keep records of users and drivers. In our project we
can easily locate ambulance as well as user accurately through which it will reduce the time
of calling to each other.

important for users in case of emergencies as it saves time. With this Application, the
ambulance can reach to the user or patient as location is tracked or given through the
application and also can provide necessary equipment’s which is required for the patient's health.
