ABSTRACT: Road transport is been used for moving people and
all kinds of goods throughout the world. However, it is one mode of
transportation that is prone to accidents and it faces a plethora of never-ending challenges, such as the frequent loss of lives and
valuables when accident occurs. The best course of action to handle these
issues is to set up an autonomous incident detection system using wireless
communication, 5G technologies and the Internet of Things. IoT is a seamless
technology that increases the connectivity between humans and machines. It is
web-based, and improves communication between vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to
infrastructures, transfer of data and information to predict incident
occurrences through various networks and frameworks such
as eCall, OneM2M and integration of mobile broadband. Additionally, internet of
things is being adopted for public safety; for instance, it can speed up first
responders’ response times to situations by displaying the best routes to a
scene of an accident. The rapid development of 5G is happening in parallel with
developments of internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and
smart platforms for novel applications such as mission-critical communications.
5G is a new generation technology that operates on the Ultra High Spectrum Band
UHSB. It is an innovation that uses the pedestrians-vehicle-road-cloud, and the
communication between vehicle locations and temperature of high-quality
connection. It is essential for intelligent transport systems because it allows for
information sharing, prediction of incidences as safety is the primary concern
of road transport. This review examines accident detection through 5G technology,
integrated mobile broadband, and multiple inputs multiple outputs (MIMO)
wireless system. Finally, we conclude by examining recent technology,
challenges, present and future research trends.
