Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to detect the accident of an automobile. Where the module is integrated inside the automobile to
detect the accident and reduce the major injuries and loose of life. The accelerometer sensor detects the accident. If an automobile
is met with an accident then, sensor will be activated and the location of the accident will be sent to emergency stations.
Keywords: accident detection, accelerometer sensor, Panic Switch, GPS and GSM.

 Distance- Cover Area, the siren cannot be heard over a

4. Conclusion
This project presents vehicle accident detection and alert
system with SMS to the user defined mobile numbers. The
proposed vehicle accident detection system can track
geographical information automatically and sends an alert SMS
regarding accident. This vehicle accident detection and alert
systems provide emergency responders with crucial
information at the earliest possible time. Reducing the time
between when an accident takes place and when it is detected
can reduce mortality rates. Conventional in vehicle accident
detection and notification systems are effective in reducing the
time gap before first responders are sent to the scene. These
systems, however are expensive and not available in all
vehicles. To further increase the usage of automatic accident
