Design and Implementation of Smart Car With Accident Avoidance and Detection

Abstract

The Rapid growth of technology has made our life easier. This advancement in technology also increased the traffic hazards. Hence the ratio of road accidents which take place frequently increases causing immense loss of life due to poor emergency facilities. Main causes behind these road accidents include: lack of training institutes, unskilled drivers, poor road conditions, use of cell phone during driving, over loading and poor governmental plans in this regard. Our research provides a solution for accident detection and prevention for human life safety. It enables intelligent detection of an accident at any place and reports about the accident on predefined numbers.Our system consists of two parts, alarming part and messaging part. The hardware includes ultrasonic sensor, vibration sensor, glopal positioning system(GPS) module,arduino Uno,glopal system mobile(GSM) modem (SIM 900D) and a buzzer. When distance is too short between the vehicle and obstacle then the buzzer will be ON as an indicator to move vehicle in other direction which is safer but when a vehicle faces accident despite of alarm, immediately vibration sensor will detect the signal and then the arduino Uno sends a message through the GSM modem including the location to predefined numbers that can be reserved for a rescue team. Our designed system has been tested at different locations and found to be effectively working by sending alert messages to mobile phone user.
