Real time detection and reporting of vehicle collision

Road accidents is the major cause of deaths in India. India had been ranked number one in the number of deaths due to accidents. This is some serious matter at hands and measures need to be taken to save the lives of the victim. The victim's lives can be saved by providing proper medical aid on time. Statistics show that many of times when the accident is severe, the witnesses to the accident or the passersby are reluctant to help because of the long procedures of reporting the accident to the police and the inquiry involved. This brings us to design a system wherein we won't have to depend on other people to come to the victim's rescue. Also, many a times the victim, if conscious, is unable to inform the medical emergency providers about his/ her exact location details, nearby landmark etc. due to the trauma or because of not being familiar with the area. This makes it important that the accident location be automatically sent to the emergency facility. This project aims at developing a system that can detect the occurrence of the accident, inform about the accident to the victim's family on the pre-defined numbers and locates the nearest hospital and inform them about the accident so they can immediately send medical help. This prototype makes use of gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, GSM and auto dialer. The MPU6050 MEMS sensor detects the occurrence of accident with the help of 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer. With the auto dialer feature, the family of the victim is informed. The GPS module reads the accurate location of the accident spot and this information is sent to the emergency providers. This system has helped in reducing the response time to the accident by reporting to the hospitals efficiently. This has been vital in saving the lives of the victims.
