Vehicle Accident Emergency Alert System

Abstract

Abstract Today’s world is moving in such a speed that no person can spare a minute to stop and look what is happening. The rapid increase in population has inevitably increased the number of vehicles on road and more road accidents with life-loss. The report from World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that approximately 1.35 million people are losing their life each year, because of road accidents. The major reason for accidents is due to drunken driving, distracted driving, over speeding etc. Also, nearly 55% of the life-loss in the highways occurs due to the negligence of accident report of the passer-by vehicles especially during the night or in deserted places remain unnoticed till dawn. A person surviving from the accident, tends to lose their life due to lack of immediate medical response. A Vehicle Accident Emergency Alert system is proposed for immediate attention which could save their life. As soon an accident occurs the vibration sensor or the accelerometer present in the system, transmits the signals to Arduino controller. Latitudes and longitudes data are collected from the GPS system, passed using the GSM module to the emergency centre, and sends a text message to all the people listed in the emergency List. Getting the exact location would help the ambulance to reach the spot with shortest route and time. The proposed alert system could be implemented with less cost and incorporated in all vehicles in near future so that the rate of life-loss could be minimized.
