Abstract In a country like India, it is very challenging to provide medical facilities to such a large population. The lack of professionals and super-specialty hospitals has made this problem more acute. Due to excessive vehicles on the roads, the death rate in road accidents has increased a lot. Road accidents share a huge portion of casualties that happen every year across the world. VANET is a growing technology in the field of wireless communication that has enhanced the traffic system and helped in reducing road accidents. Wireless body sensor network provides a continuous health monitoring of a patient without hammering daily life activities and can transmit physical health information over wireless networks in real-time. Integration of WBSN and VANET can be used to develop a framework for remote health monitoring, smart accident detection, real-time alerts to the ambulance, and optimizing the traffic for the ambulance. In this paper, we have presented India’s road traffic safety and accident scenario. We have identified the major causes of road accidents in India. We have given an overview of VANET and WBSN related technologies, their requirements, and applications. Moreover, we proposed a framework of WBSN and VANET based healthcare monitoring systems to provide emergency & Pawan Singh [email protected] Ram Shringar Raw [email protected] Suhel Ahmad Khan [email protected] 1

1 Introduction India is the second-largest populated country after China almost 18% of the world’s population, near about 1.38 billion people lives here. India’s population is increasing at the rate of 1.2% yearly and it is expected that it will surpass China by 2022. Every Indian city is overpopulated and not eco-friendly and 35% of this population lives here [1]. As per the Greenpeace India report, near about 1.2 million people die per year because of air pollution [2]. Millions of people die from diabetes, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, many more chronic diseases every year. Researchers have indicated that most of them can be cured if they are identified in their beginning phases. To provide medical facility to this huge population is the biggest challenges which the Indian government is facing nowadays. Lack of medical professionals and hospitals makes this challenge even worst. As per the report released by
