Vehicle Accident Alert System

Abstract

In today's world, as we know the frequency of road accidents has exponentially increased. Whenever we see the news or read newspaper, we find at least one case of road accident every day. Road accidents are a serious issue all over the world. Recent survey suggests that 650,000 accidents happen around the world on an average, out of which 140,000 occur in India. In every six minutes there is one death in India, due to road accidents. There is no system for quick support, identification and proclamation regarding an accident. In this paper we are providing prime solution to this limitation. The aim of our paper is to detect an accident as soon as it occurs and to contact the emergency services and respective family members and friends so that proper action can be taken in quick time to avoid fatal loss. This system is implemented using the open source Internet of Things (IOT) platform Node MCU.

Once the accident has occurred Node MCU gets activated and it sends the location of the accident using Blynk application to the emergency services and provided emergency contacts immediately.
