Accident Detection, Alert, and Tracking System Based on IoT

One of the main causes of death worldwide is traffic accidents. In this chapter, IoT-based accident detection is discussed which provides warning before the situation becomes dangerous and shares the exact location of the vehicle right away. When an accident occurs and the driver is unable to drive, the warning will be sent and their location can be found using GPS (Global Positioning System). This system aids in locating the vehicle with ease, warns the driver when he has consumed alcohol and feels tired, aids in preventing accidents, and expedites the provision of aid in the event of an accident. Because of the sharp rise in vehicle use, there are also more and more risks associated with accident between vehicles. This chapter specifically addresses accidents that happen because of the driver’s negligence. Most of the time, information is not promptly relayed to family members, the ambulance, or the police. As a result, seeking assistance is delayed. Because no one can predict where an accident will occur, we frequently risk being unable to find it. The system introduces a technique for detecting accidents and warning users when they occur. As soon as an accident happens, the vehicle’s technology will identify it and send a message notice with the vehicle’s location and emergency phone numbers. The accident detection system is equipped with temperature sensor, vibration sensor, alcohol sensor, and heart rate sensors.
