Automotive Safety System Using ARM Microcontroller

This paper presents a system which can improve the safety of a vehicle and reduce the risk of accident .Automobile industry and automobile market is in a high speed development state for several years. However, as the sharp rise of the automobile quantity, the chance of accidents is also increasing. Consistently the existences of roughly 1.3 million individuals are cut short because of a road traffic crash. Somewhere in the range of 20 and 50 million additional individuals experience non-fatal injuries, with many causing a disability because of their physical issue. Road traffic injuries make high economic losses for people. So, here we design a system that can alert the emergency services over SMS as soon as an accident is detected. This can be achieved by interfacing certain sensors and peripherals with the microcontroller/processor. In this project we are using a microcontroller which is having ARM Cortex M4 as its core. This project deals with two aspects one is the hardware and the other is software. Basically, the hardware aspect is about the type of sensors used, over-view of our target board. Where as the software aspect is all about the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that is required to program our target board.
