Abstract - Every day, a large number of people die as a result of accident injuries all over the world. The time between the occurrence of the accident and the arrival of emergency responders at the scene is an important indicator of survival rates after the accident. Reducing this time may have an impact on the number of fatalities. The main factors that cause delays in providing medical assistance are traffic congestion, a lack of ambulance services, a lack of network connectivity, and negligence.
In our project, we present an Arduino-based Accident Detection and Alert System that will minimize the time gap and ensure immediate medical assistance. The proposed system ensures that emergency services are available to accident victims as soon as possible by informing relatives, hospitals, or a rescue team of the accident spot with the help of a module embedded in the vehicle. In case of an accident, the sensors attached to the microcontroller are activated, and the GSM system sends an alert to the nearest hospital, police station, along with the location where the accident has occurred. GPS locates the location of the vehicle where the accident occurred using a space navigation system.
This will enable the response team to arrive at the accident scene and provide medical support to the victim in a timely manner. This project will help to decrease the response time and thus reduce the death toll.
