Smart Characterization of Vehicle Impact and Accident Reporting System

As the usage of motor vehicles is increasing continuously, numerous deaths are caused due to road accidents worldwide. An accident that occurs at a location where no one is around to help will lead the victims to death and the most accidents are fatal as a result of delayed medical care. An accident may involve multiple victims and it is important to provide the appropriate number of ambulances to save all the victims. The primary aim of our project is to overcome these problems and provide an optimal solution. Our system uses four vibration sensors and a microcontroller to detect the impact and identify if it is an accident or a minor collision. When an accident occurs, this system determines whether the accident is a rear-end collision, head-on collision, rollover, t-bone impact or sandwich accident. Depending on the type of accident, the number of ambulances required is decided. Then the accident location is acquired using GPS module and SMS warning is sent to the hospital using GSM modem. The SMS is composed of the location, type of accident and required number of ambulances. Our system facilitates urgent emergency assistance to all accident victims in time.
