Abstract
The rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The advent
of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place frequently
which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities. The
accident detection project will provide an optimum solution to this drawback. An accelerometer
can be used in a car alarm application so that dangerous driving can be detected. It can be used as
a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With signals from an
ultrasonic sensor, a severe accident due to an obstacle can be recognized. When a vehicle meets
with an accident or if a car rolls over, the accelerometer and ultrasonic sensor detects the signal
and immediately sends it to microcontroller. Microcontroller sends the alert message through the
GSM module including the location to police control room or a rescue team. So the emergency
help team can immediately trace the location through the GPS module, after receiving the
information. The location can also be viewed on Google maps. After conforming the location
necessary action is taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat
to anyone`s life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in
order to avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team. This project is useful in
detecting the accident precisely by means of both accelerometer and ultrasonic sensor. As a
future implementation a wireless webcam can be added for capturing the images of the accident
scene.

INTRODUCTION
The high demand of automobiles has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents.
Life of the people is under high risk. This is because of the lack of best emergency facilities
available in our country. An automatic alarm device for vehicle accidents is introduced in here.
The proposed design is a system which can detect accidents in significantly less time and sends
the basic information to first aid centre within a few seconds covering geographical coordinates,
the time and angle in which a vehicle accident had occurred. This alert message is sent to the
rescue team in a short time, which will help in saving the valuable lives. Switch is also provided
in order to terminate the sending of a message in rare case where there is no casualty, this can
save the precious time of the medical rescue team. When the accident occurs the alert message is
sent automatically to the rescue team and to the police station. The message is sent through the
GSM module and the location of the accident is detected with the help of the GPS module. The
accident can be detected precisely with the help of accelerometer and ultrasonic sensor. The
angle of the roll over of the car can also be known by accelerometer. This application provides
the optimum solution to poor emergency facilities provided to the roads accidents in the most
feasible way.
1.1:VEHICLE TRACKING FEATURES
It is mainly benefit for the companies which are based on transport system. Since it can show th
position of all vehicles in real time, so that they can create the expected data accordingly. These
tracking system can store the whole data where the vehicle had gone, where did it stop, homuch
time it take at every stop and create whole data analysis. It is also used in buses and
estimate how far are they, how much time it takes for them to come to a particular stop. These
systems are used to data capture, data storage, data analysis and finally data transfer.
1.2: Accident Alert System Features
This system is based on new technology, its main purpose is to detect an accident and alert
control room, so the victim can find some help. It can detect accidents the intensity of the
accidentwithout any visual contact from control room. If this system is inserted in every vehicle then it is
easy to understand how many vehicles are involved in a particular accident and how intense is it. So
that the help from control room will be according to the control room. The present board designed
has both vehicle tracking and accident alert systems, which make it more valuable and useful. board
alerts us from theft and on accident detection also.
1.3:USAGE OF TRACKING IN INDIA
Tracking in India is mainly used by transport systems, taxi companies, traffic operators.
Taxi operators use this to estimate how far the vehicle is from a particular area and send this
information to call centers and they can inform general public about the distance of the taxi
location and time it takes tom come to them.
Another use is for traffic police if this system is located in every vehicle they can estimate the
traffic by looking on the map and if any accident is detected then they can route the traffic in to
another way.
This is how tracking is useful because India is one of busy traffic countries and this system can
control many of the traffic problem.

CHAPTER:4.
Vehicle tracking system working
This system takes input from GPS and which goes into rs232.
This Rs232 sends data into max232 and it converts the data format and sends it to the Rx
(receiver pin) of microcontroller and this microcontroller stores this data in USART buffer
and the data stored is sent again through Tx pin into max232 this max 232 sends the data
into GSM via rs232.
This is how vehicle tracking works using GSM and GPS. The lcd interfaced to the
microcontroller also shows the display of the coordinates.
This lcd display is only used to know the working condition of the vehicle tracking system.
Accident in the sense it could be collision of two vehicles or fire accident inside the vehicle.
Theseshock sensors are attached to the car on all sides of the vehicle and they all are
connected to the OR gate.
OR gate is used because to detect at least one sensor is high .the output from the or gate is
connected to the interrupt pin of microcontroller and whenever this pin 12 is high the micro
controller sends the message about the accident.
