Vehicle Accident Detection and Alerting System

Abstract

Proposed system will detect accident and provide alert on webpage with the live location of vehicle. Accidental situation will be identified with reference to the high acceleration, high & sudden tilt in vehicle, bumps. When the case occurs, an emergency alert message will be uploaded to the webpage to notify the authorities and family members of vehicle owner with the location coordinates. Location of vehicle will be tracked using GPS module. In this system, an accelerometer module and bump detection module are used to detect accidents. Both sensors sends signal to arduino board. Arduino board scan the GPS location from GPS module. Both the accident status and location of vehicle are uploaded on IOT application through WiFi module. Similarly SMS will be send to emergency contact through web cloud. Complete process will be displayed on LCD display. A buzzer will be turned on in case of accident for attention locally.
