Smart Vehicle Accident Detection System

Abstract

We humans often travel from one place to another for various reasons. One of the important mode of transport is via road. Nowadays the cars are no longer a means of luxury but rather a ‘need’ for transportation. Day in and day out, even for shorter distances we tend to use our cars. Through the recent years, accidents are increased due the increase in the vehicles on road. Further the new generation of cars have emerged which are meant to reduce the accidents caused. However, despite the implementation of innovative ideas to reduce accidents in the modem cars. There are still chances of occurrence of accidents. It is of a greater importance to reduce the number of accidents cases and to protect human lives. One of the major reasons for the loss of lives is the delay of medical treatment of the injured person. Due to the ignorance of the people, help to the injured person is delayed thereby costing their lives. As the technology advances, the need for providing a more reliable system for helping the people increases. Thus we have designed a system using GSM, GPS and smart sensors to accurately send SMS to the nearby hospitals and to the family member of the injured person when accident takes place.
