ABSTRACT: The Rapid growth
of technology has made our life easier. This advancement in technology also increased the traffic hazards. Hence the ratio of road
accidents which take place frequently increases causing immense loss of life
due to poor emergency facilities. Main causes behind these road accidents include: lack of training institutes, unskilled
drivers, poor road conditions, use of cell phone during driving, over loading and
poor governmental plans in this regard. Our research provides a solution for accident
detection and prevention for human life safety. It enables intelligent detection
of an accident at any place and reports about the accident on predefined numbers.
Our system consists of two parts, alarming part and messaging part. The hardware
includes SONAR ranging modules, vibration sensor, three modules GPS receiver (NMEA),
Microcontroller (AT89S51), GSM modem (SIM 900D) and an Alarm. When distance
is too short between the vehicle and obstacle then alarm will be “ON” as an indicator
to move vehicle in other direction which is safer but when a vehicle faces accident
despite of alarm, immediately vibration sensor will detect the signal and then Microcontroller
sends the alert message through the GSM modem including the location to predefined
numbers that can be reserved for a rescue team. Our designed system has been tested
at different locations and found to be effectively working by sending alert messages
to mobile phone user.
