Abstract:
The rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made lives easier. The advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and road accidents take place frequently resulting in loss of lives and properties aided by poor health care facilities. This work focuses on design and construction of vehicle accident detection and messaging system using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) /GPS (Global Positioning System) modules. It can be used as a crash or rollover detector for the vehicle during and after a crash. With signals from accelerometer, a severe accident can be recognized. When a vehicle collides with an object, the Vibration sensor will detect the signal or if it roll over, a Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor will detect the signal and send it to ARM controller. Microcontroller sends the Short message through the GSM / GPS Modules which will include precise coordinate location of the accident to nearest police control room or Road Safety rescue team so the team can immediately trace the location through the GPS after receiving the information.
