Introduction…..
 Now-a-days, it became very difficult to know that an accident has occurred
and to locate the position where it has happened.
 There is no system of identification and intimation regarding an accident in
previous.
 Later on the SMS Service begins for intimation purpose.
 GPS and GSM makes the usage for intimation and identification of place.
 The main intention of this project is to find the accident spot at any place and
intimating it to ambulance through the GPS and GSM networks

WORKING
• In this project, Arduino is used for controlling whole the process with a GPS Receiver and GSM module.
• GPS Receiver is used for detecting coordinates of the vehicle, GSM module is used for sending the alert SMS with the
coordinates and the link to Google Map. Accelerometer namely ADXL335 is used for detecting accident or sudden change
in any axis.
• And an optional 16x2 LCD is also used for displaying status messages or coordinates. We have used GPS Module
SIM28ML and GSM Module SIM900A.
• When we are ready with our hardware after programming, we can install it in our vehicle and power it up. Now whenever
there is an accident, the car gets tilt and accelerometer changes his axis values. These values read by Arduino and checks if
any change occurs in any axis. If any change occurs then Arduino reads coordinates by extracting $GPGGA String from GPS
module data (GPS working explained above) and send SMS to the predefined number to the police or ambulance or family
member with the location coordinates of accident place. The message also contains a Google Map link to the accident
location, so that location can be easily tracked. When we receive the message then we only need to click the link and we will
redirect to the Google map and then we can see the exact location of the vehicle. Speed of Vehicle, in knots (1.852 KPH), is
also sent in the SMS and displayed on the LCD panel.

 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

GSM MODEM

 A GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network.

 The GSM network is used to provide communication from one place to other.

 The GSM module consists of a Mobile Station and SIM.

GPS MODULE
 GPS stands for Global Positioning System and used to detect the Latitude and Longitude
of any location on the Earth, with exact UTC time (Universal Time Coordinated). GPS
module is used to track the location of accident in our project. This device receives the
coordinates from the satellite for each and every second, with time and date.
ACCELEROMETER AND LCD
• Accelerometer detects the sudden change in the axes of vehicle
• In our project, the LCD used to display the status and position of the vehicle.
• The number to which the position of the vehicle is to be delivered, also displays
on the LCD such that changes can be made if necessary.
ADVANTAGES
• The vehicle which has undergone to an accident can be identified by using
tracking technology without any delay.
• The immediate medication will be provided to the accident victims in the
remote areas.
• In the previous system when an accident occurs the information only is sent
through GSM but there is no possibility to locate the spot.
DISADVANTAGES

• In some places where there is no provision of GSM networks it is difficult for

communication.
FUTURE SCOPE
• This system can be interfaced with the vehicle airbag system that prevents
vehicle occupants from striking interior objects such as the steering wheel or
window.
• This can also be developed by interconnecting a camera to the Controller
Module that takes the photograph of the accident spot that makes the tracking
easier.
CONCLUSION

• To minimize the deaths and the severe conditions due to accidents the GPS and
GSM technologies are used where immediate action would be take place by the
ambulance/police service which might reduces the severity.
