Abstract - Accidents are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and timely intervention can reduce the severity of injury and save lives. This paper presents an Accident Detection App, developed with Flutter for the mobile front end and Laravel as the backend framework, with MySQL as the database. The app utilizes gyroscopic and accelerometric sensor data to detect abnormal movement or sudden deceleration, which could indicate an accident. The moment an accident is reported, the app will automatically fetch the user's real-time location and send messages to registered emergency contacts. Meanwhile, the app forwards the location information to the closest police station and hospital so emergency responses can be prompt. To make the response more efficient, the system also includes individual admin panels for the police stations and hospitals so that they can be notified of accidents around them. This feature keeps emergency staff in the know about accidents immediately so that they respond accordingly without wastage of time. The backend, which has been built utilizing Laravel, manages user information, accident reports, and emergency contact efficiently. User information, history of accidents, and emergency service data are preserved in the MySQL database for ease of data management. The application utilizes the cross-platform feature of Flutter to ensure user-friendliness on Android and iOS operating systems. Additionally, the real-time location tracking and sensor-activated crash detection significantly enhance road safety and emergency response systems. The system possesses the ability to revolutionize crash reporting and emergency response, ultimately preventing numerous fatalities.
