IoT Based Vehicle Monitoring with Accident Detection and Rescue System

Road accident has turned out to be one of the severe nuisances in Bangladesh. The main reason behind these accidents is the carelessness and reckless driving of the drivers. In this paper, an IoT based system is proposed to ensure the continuous monitoring of the parameters of a running vehicle like vehicle speed, number of hard brakes, and rolling of the vehicle, which can be a measure of the ‘quality of driving'. The parameters will be uploaded to a server every instant so that the bus authority can directly observe the driver's performance, which will increase the responsibility of the driver to avoid reckless driving. Whenever the vehicle speed exceeds the safe calculated threshold speed, the system will alert the driver by playing sound on the buzzer. Besides, the system has also a button. In case of an accident, if this button is pressed, the system will send SMS instantly to proper authority with the location information. In this way, this system can speed up the rescue operation, minimize the casualties after the accident, and numerous important human lives can be spared.
