 ABSTRACT
Road accidents rates are very high nowadays, especially two wheelers. Timely medical
aid can help in saving lives. This system aims to alert the nearby medical center about
the accident to provide immediate medical aid. The attached accelerometer in the
vehicle senses the tilt of the vehicle and the a heartbeat sensor on the user’s body
senses the abnormality of the heartbeat to understand the seriousness of the
accident. Thus the systems will make the decision and sends the information to the
smartphone, connected to the accelerometer through GSM and GPS modules . The
Android application in the mobile phone will send text messages to the nearest
medical center and friends. Application also shares the exact location of the accident
and it can save time.

INTRODUCTION
Traffic is on the rise as the demand for vehicles is getting higher day by day. So,
transportation needs improvement as, since demands are increasing, there will be
more possibility of vehicle accidents. Vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes
of the fatalities. It will be a serious consequence if people can’t get help on right time.
Poor emergency incident is a major cause of death rate in our country. Crash analysis
studies have shown, traffic accidents could have been prevented with the use of this
advanced life saving measure.  
This design focuses on providing basic information on the accident site to the hospital
or police station. As a result of this sudden help, precious life may get saved. In this
work, a three-axis accelerometer and GPS tracking system work for accidental
monitoring. This design detects accidents in less time and sends this information to
the required authorities.

In this case GSM will send short message to the hospital or police station. This
message will read the geographical co-ordinates of accident spot with the help of
GPS. And, as now the location has been traced by the GPS, emergency medical
service can be given to the accident victims as soon as possible. 
A key will be provided for the driver. If the accident is very normal, or driver has hit
the wall in some situations like parking then driver will press the key. This will inform
the microcontroller that this is a very normal accident. But if driver is not in situation
to press the switch or if the accident is really a major accident then driver will not
press the key. Then microcontroller will get the coordinates from the GPS modem
then it will send this information to the GSM modem, GSM modem is used to send
this information via SMS. SMS will be sent to the family member of the driver, so that
they can take immediate action to help the persons suffering due to this accident

PR0BLEM DEFINITION:
The use of vehicles increases in the proportion of the population. Due to the
traffic congestion, the accidents are also increasing day by day. This causes the
loss of life due to the delay in the arrival of ambulances to the accident spot or
from the accident spot to the hospital. So, it is necessary to take the accident
victim to the hospital as soon as possible. Whenever an accident occurs, it has to
be informed to the investigation unit. So, it is also beneficial if the intimation is
reached to the enquiry section so that the time for the investigation can be
minimized.

 WORKING:
In this system, the external disturbance is detected by the accident detection module
and when it is detected, a function is called to find the current location of the user with
the help of GPS in the Location Detection Module. The location data obtained from the
GPS is sent to the emergency services to request help.
 
Vehicle unit consists of an accelerometer which keeps on informing the coordinate of
vehicle position to the microcontroller. If it is found at random, the GPS location tracker
tracks and informs the emergency number with values of latitude, longitude and google
map position using the GSM SIM module

Vehicle unit sends the information to the emergency contacts like police control room
and an ambulance unit.
In this system at first, we worked on the prevention of vehicle accident and even after all
the preventive measures applied if the accident occurs the system detects it. After the
detection of vehicle accident, the system automatically reports to the ambulance service
and police station without any time loss so that the casualty might not loss his/her life
due to lack of medical assistance in time. The system is installed in the vehicle.. For the
detection of vehicle accidents accelerometers are installed and for reporting ,GPS module
and GSM module are used. Motor (control switch) is used for engine control and buzzer,
led lights etc. are used for warning during prevention. All these devices are interfaced
with the central microcontroller (Arduino Uno) unit. Accelerometer detects the
occurrence of accident and sends signal to the microcontroller for further functioning.
The GPS module provides the location, speed, time and date of the certain place where
the vehicle is in the real time. If an accident occurs, the accelerometer detects it and
location of accident is obtained using GPS, and finally sends the information to the
11
ambulance service and police by the help of a GSM module. The message obtained in
mobile phone consists of the location of the accidental place in the form of google
map link which will help the emergency units like ambulance service and police
station to reach the casualty in time and rescue the lives.
1. The Arduino setup is installed in a vehicle's crash guard or in bumpers of the
vehicle on each side.
2. When collision occurs it triggers the push button and it sends a notification to the
Arduino Board.
3. Arduino will take this input and will convert to the SIM808.
4. The coordinates are shared through GSM.

12
5. Through GSM the notification is passed to the saved mobile number.
6. It contains the exact GPS location.
7.The application is used to know the route and location. 8. If the accident is not
severe the person can turn off the buzzer and the device will come back to normal.

13
 RESULTS:
Whenever accident of the vehicle occurs, then the device sends a message with the
information of accident location and the time to the predefined numbers so that help
can be made available. The message sent with the help of the GSM module will
appear like this - Message for accident: Accident occurred. Please send help.” This
system shows the location of vehicle where the accident has occurred with the help
of the GPS module connected to it and hence that information is added in the
accident alerting message.
