OBJECTIVES
The objective of this instrument is to devise an inexpensive, time efficient and error free
method for measuring the alcohol concentration in the breath of a driver. It can also be
an instrument to solve an accident or injury regarding the alcohol content in the body of
the driver. It also discusses how the developed device is operating and transmitting data
from one person to another.

A. System Overview
The main elements of this automatic vehicle accident detection and alcohol
content sensing device are GSM and GPS module and TRANSmit. The
working of this model will be made in the following steps:
1. An alcohol sensor is basically used as a breath tester. It senses the Ethanol content in the driver's
breath and gives its output to the motor. If the level of the ethanol is beyond the limit which is 0.3
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) then motor stops (brakes) and send message to the driver’s pre-
saved numbers as well as to the local authorities, with co-ordinates of that location, else the motor
is ON.
2. A piezoelectric sensor is used to sense the vibration at the time of the accident and give its output
to the buzzer. If any value of vibration sensor is changed beyond limit then buzzer will start. If the
buzzer is ON for more than 10 seconds, the GPS module is triggered ON. In case of a minor
accident, where the driver does not need any external assistance, he/she will press the switch within
10 seconds, to which the buzzer will be OFF and the GPS will not be triggered. The GPS (Global
Positioning System) detects the latitude and longitudinal position of a vehicle.
3. The latitudes and longitude position of the vehicle is sent as a message through the Global
System for Mobile Communication (GSM) to the pre-saved numbers, 3 contact persons and a
number or emergency number of the authority within the area of accident.

Alcohol Sensor
Alcohol sensor typically used as a part of the breathalyzes or breath tester for
the detection of ethanol in the human breath. MQ-3 gas sensor has high sensitivity and
Vibration Sensor
Buzzer
The buzzer used is 1-8S LiPo Battery Voltage Tester Low Volt Alarm Buzzer and
LED. It is used for testing 1-8S Lipo/Li-ion/LiMn/Li-Fe. The Voltage Detection Precision is
+/- 0.01V. The Unit Voltage Display Range: 0.5~4.5V. The 1S Test Mode Voltage Range:
3.7~30V and there is a Low voltage alarm mode for 2-8S. The Alarm Set Value Range is
OFF~2.7~3.8V.
GPS Module
The GPS used in this project is NEO6mv2.The NEO-6 module series is a family
of stand-alone GPS receivers featuring the high performance u-blox 6 positioning engine.
These flexible and cost effective receivers offer numerous connectivity engine. These
flexible and cost effective receivers offer numerous connectivity deal for battery operated
mobile devices with very strict cost and space constraints. The 50-channel u-blox 6
positioning engine boasts a Time-To-First-Fix0(TTFF) of under 1 second[4].The
dedicated acquisition engine, with 2 million correctors, is capable of massive parallel
time/frequency space searches, enabling it to find satellites instantly. Innovative design
and technology suppresses jamming sources and mitigates multipath effects, giving
NEO-6 GPS receivers excellent navigation performance even in the most challenging
GSM Module
Most modern cellular networks make use of the GSM technology for
communication purposes. In this project we are using SIM800 module which works in the
frequency band of 800MHz.

Step 1: Start
Step 3: If value is greater than 0.3 then go to step 7 else proceed to step 4.
Step 5: If pressure detected value is greater than '0' than buzzer turns on for 10 seconds.
Step 9: Stop.
