VEHICLE ACCIDENT

DETECTION SYSTEM

MOTIVATION

About 1.24 million people die each year as a result of

road traffic crashes.
Without action, road traffic crashes are predicted to
result in the deaths of around 1.9 million people annually
by 2020.

Decade of Action for Road Safety (20112020) with the

aim of saving millions of lives by improving the safety

Vehicle Accident Detection System

of roads, vehicles and improving emergency services.

INTRODUCTION

Arduino is interfaced with piezo electric sensor to detect

accidents.
GSM is interfaced to Arduino to send notification
messages to Authorized users.

Buzzer is interfaced with Arduino to alert accidents.

RELAY

A relay is a simple electromechanical switch made up

of an electromagnet and a set of contacts.
Relays are found hidden in all sorts of devices. In fact,
some of the first computers ever built used relays to
implement Boolean gates.

PIEZO ELECTRIC SENSOR

A piezoelectric sensor is a device that uses the

acceleration, temperature, strain or force by converting

them to an electrical charge.

When accident occurs, Piezo electric sensor detects the

vibrations based on the vibrations GSM module sends

piezoelectric effect, to measure changes in pressure,

messages to the authorized users.
