IoT Based Accident Identification and Alert System

Abstract

An accident is an unpredicted and unintentional event. Considering the alarming increase in the number of motor bike riders and the number of accidents happening in our country, this system ensures to make the vehicle driving safer than before for the rider. The lack of treatment in proper time is the major reason for half of the deaths in road accidents. This system aims at providing early detection of accidents and communicating the information immediately to the emergency responses on time to provide quick assistance for the injured person. When the vehicle met with an accident, the vibration sensor or MEMS sensor which is embedded in the vehicle senses the vibration frequency and transfers the value to the raspberry pi module that is interfaced to it. While vibration threshold frequency exceeds the programmed maximum limit, the raspberry pi board extracts GPS data from the GPS module and the message with all the necessary information is sent quickly to the registered emergency contacts of the rider. This system assures to provide immediate assistance to the victim of the accident. The results give the exact locations of the accident.
