An Arduino Based Automatic Accident Detection and Location Communication System

Abstract

Vehicle accidents have become one of the major issues, which cause the death of many people around the globe. Presently India is in the top-ranked in death due to road accidents. This is a serious matter, which needs to be solved to save the life of many injured people due to accidents. To solve this problem many automobile companies have done different systems such as safety airbags, seat belts, camera sensors, etc. but still the cause and the effect of the accident cannot be reduced. One of the major solutions is to provide proper medical treatment to the victim on time. According to statistics whenever any kind of accident happens, the witness of the accident hesitates to help the victim due to the long procedure of reporting and inquiry to the police. Mostly the victim is not in a condition to ask for any sort of help from others in that situation. In such a situation, the life of the victim is in danger due to the lack of proper treatment and medical facility in time. To solve this problem there is an urgent requirement of a system that automatically detects the accident and based on that information it communicates about the accident and its location to the hospital and relative without any delay. In this work, an Arduino based Automatic Accident Detection and Location Communication System (AAADLCS) is developed that continuously tracks the location of the vehicle, when any kind of accident occurs. It automatically detects the accident and based on that information it sends that location to the hospital, relatives, and to the police quickly. The key benefit of this system is its low cost, easy to implement, easy to use, processing speed, high accuracy, and its self-reliance.
