A Confirmation Based Accident Detection System Using IoT for Smart Vehicles

Accidents on the road continue to pose a significant threat to life and safety, necessitating innovative solutions to improve emergency response and minimize injuries. The proposed approach introduces an IoT-based Accident Detection System that integrates seamlessly with vehicle airbags, a confirmation button, GPS tracking, SOS calls, and a beeping system. The system harnesses a network of sensors to detect accidents accurately. When an accident occurs, it automatically deploys airbags to protect the passengers in the vehicle. A critical feature in the system is the manual confirmation button, which lets the occupants confirm the severity of the accident. If no confirmation is acquired within a set timeframe, the system proceeds to the next steps to save the occupant. The system uses GPS tracking with an accuracy of 96% to determine the location of the accident. Simultaneously, it initiates SOS calls to nearby hospitals and emergency services, ensuring seamless medical assistance. In addition, the system emits alerts to caution passersby and authorities about the accident.This system enhances emergency response, reducing the time between an accident occurring and medical attention. It not only minimizes injuries but also improves overall road safety. The proposed system aims to provide a brief overview of its multi-faceted capabilities, emphasizing its potential to save lives and reduce the severity of injuries in road accidents.
