Design and Implementation of IoT Based Accident Detection and Prevention System

Abstract

In the modern world, an increase in the usage of automobiles for commercial purposes has also increased the number of accidents occurring in commercial vehicles, which leads to the loss of life of the people involved in the accident. To minimize the death rates involved in an accident, the people who are met with the accident must claim medical assistance at the correct time. This study is concerned with two set-ups. One set-up is associated with the vehicle, where the use of a MEMS or gyroscopic sensor, a vibration sensor, and a gas sensor integrated with Arduino helps to detect the accident. Here, the location is detected by the GPS module and updated in the cloud by using the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. If any accident is detected, the RF transmitter circuit sends the signal to the RF receiver. The other configuration is related to the Ambulance which consists of an RF receiver circuit integrated with the NodeMCU microcontroller. When the signal reaches the receiver, NodeMCU retrieves the information from the cloud and displays it on the LCD. Integration of a tracking system with a Radio frequency transmitter and receiver helps build IoT services using embedded systems. The system of providing medical assistance to the people involved in the accident would help us reduce the death rates.
