Arduino Based Vehicle Accident Alert System Using GPS, GSM and MEMS Accelerometer

As indicated by an investigation and insights of WHO (World Health Organization), every year more than 50% of people lose their lives due to street traffic wounds of which most of them are due to bike riders as a result of head wounds. When an accident occurs, there is a delay in rescuing the person and so the proposed research work aims to work on this topic by building an automated system to alert the family member as soon as the occurrence of the accident. In this perspective, the proposed model integrates Arduino UNO R3 micro controller, a GPS GY6MV2 beneficiary and GSM module SIM 800L. Further, GPS GY6MV2 is sued to get the scope and longitude of the accident region. The GSM module SIM 800L is utilized to send SMS and enlighten the individual regarding the type of accident and provides accident location using Google Maps. ADXL335 MEMS Accelerometer sensor catches the X and Y co-ordinates of the vehicle. Furthermore, 16x2 LCD is used to show messages, scope and longitude of the accident place.
