 ABSRACT

As indicated by an investigation and insights of WHO (World Health Organization), every

year more than 50% of people lose their lives due to street traffic wounds of which most of
them are due to bike riders as a result of head wounds. When an accident occurs, there is a
delay in rescuing the person and so the proposed research work aims to work on this topic by
building an automated system to alert the family member as soon as the occurrence of the
accident. In this perspective, the proposed model integrates Arduino UNO R3 micro
controller, a GPS GY6MV2 beneficiary and GSM module SIM 800L. Further, GPS
GY6MV2 is issued to get the scope and longitude of the accident region.

The GSM module SIM 900A is utilized to send SMS and enlighten the individual regarding
the type of accident and provides accident location using Google Maps. Furthermore, 16x2
LCD is used to show messages, latitude and longitude of the accident place.
