ACCIDENT DETECTION AND ALERT

SYSTEM FOR BIKES

GROWING RATE OF DEATHS DUE TO BIKE
ACCIDENTS
• Though the increase of two-wheelers speaks of prosperity it has also accelerated
accidents and decreased road safety. According to various statistics, road
accidents have been increasing at an alarming rate, and here are a couple of
heart wrenching and mind boggling figures:
• 1 person dies every 4 minutes -- 1 fatality every 15 mins in case of
2-wheelers
• 2-wheelers are more prone to road accidents and this has been on a constant
rise in the recent years
o 2013 - 26.3%
o 2014 - 27.3%
o 2015 - 28.8%
SOLUTION FOR REDUCING BIKE ACCIDENTS

• Handling emergency situations

• Reducing rider distraction
• Rewarding safe driving
HANDLING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
In any serious accident, the “Platinum Ten Minutes" within which an emergency
service attends to the accident victim is crucial. As the driver may lose
consciousnesses or be incapacitated in some other way, especially, in case of 2-
wheelers, this requires an automatic & immediate notification to the emergency
services about the precise location of the accident.
 ABOUT OUR PROJECT
Here in this project, we are going to build a Arduino based vehicle accident
alert system using GPS, GSM and accelerometer. Accelerometer detects the
sudden change in the axes of vehicle and GSM module sends the alert message
on your Mobile Phone with the location of the accident. Location of accident is
sent in the form of Google Map link, derived from the latitude and longitude
from GPS module.
We will also have touch sensors which can be mounted on the handles of the bike
and depending on whose outputs the rider can be alerted from being distracted
COMPONENTS USED

• Arduino Uno along with Arduino IDE

• GSM Module (SIM900A)
• GPS Module (Neo 6m)
• Accelerometer (MPU6050)
• Power supply 12v 2amp
• Touch sensors
• DC motor
GPS MODULE

• We will be using Neo 6m GPS module that will be

interfaced with the Arduino . 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. We can have the $GPGGA string extracted to find the
Latitude and Longitude Coordinates.
GSM MODULE

• The SIM900 is a complete Quad-band

GSM/GPR0S Module which can be embedded
easily used by customer or hobbyist. SIM900 GSM Module provides an industry-standard
interface. SIM900 delivers GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900MHz performance for
voice, SMS, Data with low power consumption. It is easily available in the market.
• SIM900 designed by using single-chip processor integrating AMR926EJ-S core
• Quad - band GSM/GPRS module in small size.
• GPRS Enabled
ACCELEROMETER

• MPU6050 sensor module is an integrated 6-axis Motion tracking device.

• It has a 3-axis Gyroscope, 3-axis Accelerometer, Digital Motion Processor and
a Temperature sensor, all in a single IC.
• It can accept inputs from other sensors like 3-axis magnetometer or pressure
sensor using its Auxiliary I2C bus.
We have used this to calculate the pitch and roll .And calibrated it such that it
gives the best outputs for all the situations.
We have calculated the pitch and roll using the data from
accelerometer in x ,y and z direction using MPU6050.
REDUCING DISTRACTIONS
Distracted riding is one of the top reasons for
serious road accidents. The causes of distraction
can be many - but the major ones that have
been found from analysis of accident data and
related studies is the distraction caused by
TOUCH SENSORS

• The capacitive Sensor library turns two or more Arduino pins into
a capacitive sensor, which can sense the electrical capacitance of the human
body. All the sensor setup requires is a medium to high value resistor and a
piece of wire and a small (to large) piece of aluminum foil on the end.
These touch sensors can be
interfaced with the Arduino
and the motor speed can be
controlled using PWM
signal.
CONCLUSION
So the two major causes which result to an accidents –
1. Handling Emergency Situations - Using our accident detection and alert
system we were able to provide instantaneous help to the victim and send
SOS calls to an emergency number.
2. Distractions while riding – Using the touch sensor we were able to alert the
driver using a buzzer and manipulate the speed of the motor accordingly to
avoid accidents.
 FURTHER IDEAS
• Impact analysis and redevelopment of the bike by the manufacture -
The data from the accident like speed, acceleration and impact parameters can be
used by the manufacturer to improve on their design and make batter and safer
bike.
• MQ3 Smoke detector – This sensor can be put in the helmet to check whether the
rider is under the influence of alcohol. This sensor will be decide whether the bike
starts.
• Current sensors- These sensors can be used to calculate the various losses thereby
increasing the efficiency of the battery of the bike.
