Abstract

The growth in technology has made our lives simple. The advancement in technology has increased the hazards in traffic and road accidents taking place frequently causes loss of life and property this is due to lack of emergency and help facilities . Our paper provides a solution to this disadvantage. When an accident occurs immediately the vibration sensor detects the impact and micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) will detect this signal and send it to Arduino TDGGSM_908 microcontroller. The microcontroller initiates GPS, traces the accident location and sends an alert SMS using GSM to the police and medical rescue team. If the impact of the accident is less than the average calculated impact which causes threat to human lives then the alert SMS would not be sent.
