 INTRODUCTION

➢ The main purpose behind the implementation of the Accident prevention is to minimize
the road accidents which causes the loss of valuable human life and other valuable goods.
➢ Accident Prevention And Detection System(APDS) save lives by reducing the time
required for emergency responders to arrive.
➢ We are developing one Android application which will help to reduces percentage of
accident.
➢ It is based on GPS(Global Positioning System).
➢ To prevent the accident & Detect the current location if accident occurs.
➢ The main intention of this project is to find the accident spot at any place and intimating
it to ambulance through the GPS and GSM networks
➢ The GPS based vehicle accident identification module contains GSM module and a GPS
modem connected to the microcontroller.

 WHAT IS VEHICLE ACCIDENT SYSTEM

➢ Now days it, became very difficult to know that an accident has occurred and to locate the
position where it has happened.
➢ There is no system of identification and intimation regarding an accident in previous
➢ Later on the SMS Service begins for intimation purpose
➢ GPS and GSM makes the usage for intimation and identification of place
➢ When accident occurs the information only is sent through GSM but there is no possibility
to locate the spot
➢ This project presents an automotive localization system using GPS and GSM-SMS
services.
➢ The main intension of this project is to find the accident spot at any place This project
contains GSM module and a GPS modem interfaced to the Arduino Uno.

 GSM

➢ A GSM module is a hardware component that allows a

device to connect to a mobile network and send and
receive data over that network.
➢ GSM stands for Global System for Mobile
communication, which is a standard used for mobile
networks in most parts of the world.
➢ A GSM module typically consists of a SIM card holder,
a microcontroller, and a transceiver that communicates
with the mobile network.
➢ Overall, a GSM module provides a reliable and
efficient way to connect devices to the internet and
mobile networks.

 GPS

➢ The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation

system that provides location and time information.
➢ GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is a satellite-based
navigation system used for location tracking and navigation around
the world.
➢ The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite
navigation system that provides location and time information in all
weather conditions.
➢ GPS modules are used in a variety of applications, including
navigation systems, vehicle tracking systems, asset tracking systems,
and location-based services.
➢ The GPS receiver processes the signals and calculates the device's
latitude, longitude, altitude, and time information.
➢ Overall, a GPS module provides a reliable and accurate way to
determine the device's location and perform various functions based
on that location.

 IR SENSOR
➢ IR sensor is an electronic device, that emits the light in order to
sense some object of the surroundings.
➢ An IR sensor can measure the heat of an object as well as detects
the motion.
➢ Usually, in the infrared spectrum, all the objects radiate some
form of thermal radiation.
➢ These types of radiations are invisible to our eyes, but infrared
sensor can detect these radiations.
➢ The emitter is simply an IR LED (Light Emitting Diode) and the
detector is simply an IR photodiode .
➢ Photodiode is sensitive to IR light of the same wavelength which
is emitted by the IR LED.

 SOFTWARE COMPONENTS

➢ The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload
it to the board.
➢ This software can be used with any Arduino board.

 BLOCK DIAGRAM EXPLANATION
➢ The block diagram shows the different components of the system and how they
are connected to each other.
➢ IR sensor is an electronic device, that emits the light in order to sense some
object of the surroundings. It is connected to the Arduino board, which
processes the readings from the sensor and determines if an accident has
occurred.
➢ The GPS module is connected to the Arduino board and is used to locate the
vehicle's position in case of an accident. This information can be sent along with
the accident alert to help emergency services or designated contacts find the
vehicle.
➢ The GSM module is connected to the Arduino board and is used to send an SMS
alert to designated contacts or emergency services when an accident occurs. The
message can contain information such as the location of the accident and a
message requesting assistance.

 WORKING PRINCIPLE
➢ The Arduino-based Accident Alert System works by detecting sudden
changes in the velocity of the vehicle using an accelerometer and
triggering an alarm or sending an alert to designated contacts or emergency
services.
➢ The system is powered by an Arduino board and uses an accelerometer to
detect changes in the velocity of the vehicle.
➢ IR sensor is connected to the Arduino board, which processes the readings
from the sensor and determines if an accident has occurred.
➢ When the vehicle is involved in an accident, the accelerometer detects the
sudden change in velocity and triggers the system to send an alert.
➢ The alert can be sent via different methods, such as SMS, email, or a
phone call, depending on the user's preference.
➢ The alert can be sent to designated contacts or emergency services, who
can then take action and provide assistance.
