Abstract
Now-a-days lots of accidents happen on highways due to increase in traffic and also due to rash driving of the driv-ers. And in many situations the family members or the ambu-lance and police authorities are not informed on time. This results in delaying the help reaching to the person suffered due to accident. Vehicle Detection GSM modem is designed to avoid such situations.
In this project an accident detection unit name MEMS accelerometer is used which will be mounted under the rid-er's seat of the car. This system, in case of accident, or if the car hits to some other vehicle or an object then accelerome-ter gives the values greater than threshold value and hence microcontroller will handle grabbing the position and send-ing the SMS to the predefined numbers. The system consists of cooperative components GPS device and GSM module. Focusing on this idea, a system where vehicle itself intimates the concern emergency service for immediate reaction in case of accident or any emergency situation is proposed. After the accident, this wireless device will send mobile phone short message indicating the position of vehicle by GPS system to family members, police station and hospitals. The emergency medical service (EMS) can be provided to the driver. The threshold algorithm is used to determine speed of motorcycle and fall or accident in real-time.
