TITLE:

AN IOT BASED ACCIDENT REPORTING AND TRACKING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier.
The advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take
place frequently, which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency
facilities. Even with so many modern devices present in the field of vehicle design, road lane
design and heavy traffic control accidents do occur at a large scale. Accident threatens human
lives more and mainly road accident is common today. During accident many people lose their
life because medical services and family member not getting accidental information on time.
Any kind of accident detected is automatically sent as an alert to the required destination.
Accident detection device installed in a vehicles when meets with an accident will send SMS/
messages to the pre-install numbers of the drivers family members, police station, ambulance
and nearest hospital. This embedded system is useful for tracking and retrieving the exact
position of any vehicle, which has met with an accident by using Global Positioning System
(GPS) and sensors.

KEYWORDS: Accident Detection, Vehicle Tracking, Short Message Service SMS, Global
Positioning System GPS, Global System for Mobile Communication GSM, Sensors, micro-
controller.

INTRODUCTION: The major death rates in the world are due to the road accidents. India
faces the highest death rate in the world. Reasons for the accident are speed driving, lacking
sufficient sleep, drink and drive. Automatic accident detection helps to recognize the location
of the accident and to find the location of the accident. For an ambulance vehicle, every second
is important. If there is a delay in the arrival of ambulance, there will be a loss of life. Delay is
caused mainly because of the traffic signals. Therefore, time factor is an important task. Radio
Frequency module is used to control the traffic signals automatically. Therefore, the ambulance
vehicle will reach the hospital in exact time to save the human.
In addition, the main goals for the automatic accident detection techniques are to
detect the accident and to send the message automatically to the emergency contacts along with
the location. Emergency contacts include family members, friends, hospitals, police station etc.
The incidents of accidental deaths have shown increasing trend during the year 2000-2019 with
an increase of 50 percent in the year 2010 as compared to the year 2000. According to Planning
Commission of India, the total annual economic loss is 2.5% of India’s GDP due to rising
number of road fatalities. Another important reason can be improper medical help. Survey
shows that each minute that an injured crash victim does not receive emergency medical care
can cause into fatality. Most victims lose their lives due to such reasons.
Therefore, this idea of saving lives by curing the problem comes into existence.
Real-time position of the vehicles are informed by the system using the pre-install smart
sensing accelerometer equipment. This data is recorded and all the information can be observed
by remote location to provide the required services to the victims. Tracking of the vehicle can
be done in all-weather condition. GPS and GSM technologies are used in this system to provide
all the data to the remote server which are then processed and the extracted information is used
to provide the services to the individual at the time of emergency. The main contributions of
this paper are: (a) Vehicle registration and preparation, (b) Passengers ‘registration, (c)
Monitoring accidents through a web interface located in the PSO headquarter.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
1. It was noted with deep concern that most of the deaths occur as a result of late response
by emergency services especially for accident occurring in remote areas or night where
there is no witness or means of alerting the responsible authorities such as police,
emergency services and relatives.
2. This project seeks to reduce the time taken between accident time and notifying the
emergency responders of the accident occurrence.

OBJECTIVES:
1. Provide a system that is fully automated to help vehicle occupants even when they are
incapacitated and subconscious.
2. Exploiting the capabilities offered by vehicular communication technologies.
3. Increase safety of road users and comfort of passengers.

CONCLUSION: Proposing an IOT system which may help the community decreasing the
death rates resulting from vehicles accidents. It also provides many advantages compared to
traditional systems, namely, minimizing injured passengers interaction, providing basic
medical information to rescue teams, recognizing exact and accurate accidents locations, and
facilitating the routing process. The IOT device keeps sending continuous notification of crash
occurrence until it makes sure its reception by the headquarter. Accident detection device
installed in a vehicles when meets with an accident will send SMS/ messages to the pre-install
numbers of the drivers family members, police station, ambulance and nearest hospital. This
embedded system is useful for tracking and retrieving the exact position of any vehicle which
has met with an accident by using Global Positioning System (GPS) and sensors. This project
provides very good idea of how we can extract a location of accident and send the SMS
notifications and help can be provided to the victims.
