Introduction :

Embedded systems have vast potential due to their compact size

and efficiency. They power devices and systems across industries,
from smartphones to medical equipment. These systems enable
automation, real-time monitoring, and enhanced functionality,
contributing to improved convenience, safety, and performance in
various applications.

This project typically involves designing and implementing a

system that can automatically detect and respond to various types
of accidents or emergencies, particularly in the context of road
safety. The system aims to minimize response time and improve
the efficiency of emergency services in case of accidents.

No Title/ Author Author name Key Points

1. Design of accident detection and Dr. Fahim Bin Basheer, • The study addresses the underexplored area of
alert system for motor cycles et al.2013 motorcycle accident detection by utilizing three
. parameters: acceleration/deceleration, vehicle tilt, and
body pressure changes.
• With precise data and an effective algorithm, accidents
can be detected with reasonable success. GPS technology
is employed to transmit vehicle coordinates to emergency
services, enhancing response and safety.

2. Arduino based Accident Prevention
System with Eye Twitch and
Alcohol sensor
Dr. P. Upender et al.2014 • The paper presents a vehicle safety framework with
alcohol and eye-blink sensors to detect driver
impairment.
• When these sensors detect alcohol or drowsiness, the
system triggers alarms, such as LED lights and a buzzer,
and can automatically slow down the vehicle, aiming to
prevent accidents caused by driver impairment.

3. Drunk and Drive Controller for Dr. P.Manikandan, et al.2021 • The project focuses on reducing accidents caused by
Vehicles alcohol consumption while driving. It employs sensors to
detect alcohol levels in a driver's breath, and an Arduino-
based controller installed on the vehicle's steering.
• If alcohol levels exceed a certain threshold, the system
commands the engine to stop, effectively preventing
potential accidents

4. Accident Detection and Reporting
System using GPS, GPRS and GSM
Technology
Md. Syedul Amin, Jubayer
Jalil,2012
• This paper proposes utilizing GPS receivers in vehicles
to monitor speed and detect accidents. When the speed
drops below a specified threshold, it assumes an accident
and sends the location, time, and speed via a GSM
network to an Alert Service Center, aiding in timely
rescue efforts

Author Name Key Points
Dr. `A. Ambikapathy, et • The study focuses on enhancing road safety by integrating
al.2021 an Eye Blink Sensing system (EBS) and a heart rate sensor
to alert drivers during drowsiness.
• An IR sensor constantly tracks the driver's eye, and
abnormal blinking rates trigger a buzzer alert. This model
aims to prevent accidents caused by driver inattentiveness.
Nachiket Wani, et al.2015 • This paper addresses the issue of delayed help in road
accidents. It proposes a system that not only detects
accidents but also displays the accident location in text
form, along with nearby hospitals.
• The Location to Address Translation Sub-System converts
coordinates to textual addresses, improving the speed of
emergency response through Android Application.

Methodology

• The methodology in developing Accident Detecting system involves initial sensor

selection and setup, Data collection and preprocessing, algorithm development for
accident detection and integration of sensors with microcontrolers. It utilizes sensors
to collect the required data for accident detection and the data collected by the
sensor is sent to microcontroller for processing and analysing the data.

System Architecture :

13
Components Used:
Accelerometer sensor: Accelerometer sensors can play a crucial role in an accident detector
project by providing essential data for detecting sudden changes in acceleration, deceleration, and
orientation.

Gyroscope sensor: Gyroscope sensors can complement accelerometer sensors in an accident

detection system by providing additional information about the vehicle's orientation and angular Accelerometer sensor
movements.

Eye blink sensor: This sensor module consists of the eye blink sensor frame, the IR sensor and
a relay. The vibrator device is connected to the eye blink sensor frame which is to be worn by the
driver. This vibrator vibrates whenever an accident occurs or the driver falls asleep.
Gyroscope sensor
Vibration Sensor: The purpose of this sensor is to sense any jerk given to the vehicle which is
the emulation of the accident occurrence in real time.

GPS sensor: GPS (Global Positioning System) sensors play a crucial role in an accident detector
system by providing accurate location information. When an accident is detected using other sensors
(accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.), GPS data is immediately paired with this event to identify the
accident's location. Eye blink sensor

14
Components Used:

Microcontroller: The collected sensor data is sent to the microcontroller (Arduino) for
processing and analysis. The microcontroller is connected to a wireless communication module, such
as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GSM/GPRS.This module allows the microcontroller to transmit data and alerts
to external devices or services.

Alcohol Ethanol gas sensor: Alcohol and ethanol gas sensors monitor the driver's breath for Arduino
alcohol content, providing real-time data to the system. If the alcohol level exceeds safe limits, the
system can trigger preventive measures to reduce the risk of alcohol-related accidents, enhancing road
safety.

Conclusion

In our project, we have successfully gathered crucial information related to accident prevention and
detection. By monitoring and analyzing accelerometer sensor values, we've made significant
progress in understanding the dynamics of vehicle movements and acceleration. Besides the
accelerometer sensors, we are also working with other sensors. These extra sensors will help make
our accident prevention and detection system even better.
