After watching this video, we’re wondering how could he survive in this situation.

Then an idea came arouse in mind that if he had such device which could detect this impact &
an automated alerting message containing gps location would help him. GPS location will make
easy for rescuers to find him at accurate position.

Thus, we began our project.

and precision with our innovative project, seamlessly merging Arduino programming prowess with the
robust capabilities of the GPS & GSM modules.

Reason to Carry Out the Work

Here are the key reasons for undertaking such a project:

1. Minimizing Response Time

2. Technology Advancement and Innovation

3. Enhancing Vehicle Safety

What is Accident Detection and Alert System?

An Accident Detection and Alert System is a smart system designed to identify vehicle accidents
in real-time and immediately notify emergency services, authorities, or specified contacts. It
integrates sensors, communication modules, and algorithms to detect accidents based on
parameters like acceleration, force impact, and environmental data.

If an impact is detected, the buzzer is activated, and GPS coordinates are fetched. After a delay, the system
automatically sends an alert SMS containing the GPS location and makes a call to the emergency contact.
The location is shared as a Google Maps link. The heart of this project lies in the Arduino microcontroller,
which serves as the brains orchestrating intricate movements.
 Components

Arduino Uno R3

The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller designed for electronics projects. Powered by the
ATmega328P microcontroller, it offers 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, USB connectivity for
programming, and versatile power options. With a 16 MHz clock speed, the Uno is a user-friendly platform
for developing interactive projects. It uses the Arduino Software (IDE), based on C and C++, allowing users
to write and upload code easily.

GPS Module

The GPS module for Arduino is a device that enables an Arduino-based system to receive real-time location
data (latitude, longitude, altitude, and time) from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.
GSM module

The GSM module of Arduino is a hardware component that enables an Arduino board to communicate over a
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network. It allows the Arduino to send and receive text
messages (SMS), make and receive voice calls, and access the internet using a cellular network.

LCD Display

The LCD display module in an Arduino project is used to visually display information, such as text,
numbers, or even custom characters. It provides a simple and effective way to communicate with users by
showing real-time data, system status, or instructions.
Accelerometer
An accelerometer module in an Arduino project is used to measure acceleration, which is the rate
of change of velocity. It can also detect changes in orientation, tilt, vibration, and movement.
Accelerometers are widely used in embedded systems to sense motion or sudden impacts, making
them crucial for applications like accident detection.

Li-ion rechargeable battery

A Li-ion rechargeable battery is a great power source for Arduino projects due to its high energy
density, lightweight design, and rechargeable nature. A single-cell Li-ion battery typically provides
a nominal voltage of 3.7V and a fully charged voltage of 4.2V. Arduino boards like the Uno require
5V. So, we need a voltage booster or connect multiple cells in series (e.g., 2 cells = 7.4V nominal)
Power Supply(5v Adapter):A power supply is an electrical or electronic device that provides electric power to
an electrical load. The power supply takes electrical energy from a source, such as an electrical outlet or a
battery, and converts or regulates it to a form suitable for powering electronic devices or systems.

Connecting Wire (Male to Male):Male-to-male jumper wires are a type of connecting wire commonly used in
electronics and prototyping applications. These wires have a male connector (pin or plug) at each end, allowing
them to establish electrical connections between components or points on a breadboard.

Buzzer: A buzzer is an electronic device commonly used in Arduino projects to produce a sound or beep. It is a
small, affordable, and easy-to-use component, ideal for providing audible alerts, notifications, or simple sound
effects.

A message containing with GPS co-ordination will also sent to
the number given in code.
Conclusion
The Accident Detection and Alert System for Vehicles is a revolutionary step toward enhancing road safety
and minimizing the consequences of road accidents. This system leverages advanced technologies,
including sensors, GPS, and communication networks, to promptly detect accidents and send real-time
alerts to emergency services, nearby vehicles, and pre-registerred contacts.

This system not only helps in providing timely aid to those affected but also plays a vital role in alerting
other drivers to potential hazards, thereby preventing secondary accidents. Furthermore, its potential
integration with smart vehicle technology and traffic management systems underscores its value in
fostering a safer and more efficient transportation ecosystem.
 Limitations & Future

Future Scope
Future upgrades for an Accident Detection and Alert System for Vehicles can greatly enhance its
capabilities, reliability, and adaptability to modern technologies. Here are some potential
upgrades:
1. Augmented Reality (AR) Warnings
2. Multi-Vehicle Accident Coordination
3. Blockchain-Based Data Security
