Vehicle Accident Detection and Reporting System using Accelerometer

The usage of vehicles is rapidly increasing and at the same time the occurrence of accident is also increased. Hence, the value of human life is ignored. No one can prevent the accident, but can save their life by expediting the ambulance to the hospital in time. The objective of this scheme is to minimize the delay caused by traffic congestion and to provide the accident information for smooth flow of emergency vehicles. These lives could have been saved if medical facilities are provided at the right time. This paper implies system which is a solution to this drawback. Accelerometer sensor can be used in car security system to sense vibrations in vehicle and GPS to give location of vehicle, so dangerous driving can be detected. When accident occurs, Accelerometer will detect signal and will send message to server. The message contains information of accident location, images and vehicle details. The message will be sent to preprogrammed numbers such as ambulance, friends, relatives etc via GSM.
