Vehicle Accident Detection and Rescue System
The primary goal of this project is to create an IoT-based system capable of detecting vehicle accidents and providing timely rescue information. This system employs a microcontroller, MEMS sensor, and vibration sensors, programmed using embedded C through Keil software. It leverages IoT technology to enhance road safety through real-time accident detection and automated emergency notifications.
Our Team
System Architecture
The LPC 2148 is the central processing unit of the system, handling sensor data and communication.
The MEMS sensor detects sudden changes in motion, indicating a potential accident.
The GPS module provides real-time location tracking, while the GSM module sends emergency notifications with location data to predefined contacts.
Functionality
Accident Detection
The MEMS sensor detects vehicle vibrations or impacts. The LPC2148 microcontroller processes this data and triggers the system in the event of an accident.
Data Transmission
The GPS and GSM modules, interfaced with the LPC2148, transmit real-time location data and alert signals to emergency contacts.
Display and Alerts
The system displays the accident location on an LCD and sends alerts to predefined emergency contacts via the GSM module.
Impact
The Vehicle Accident Detection and Rescue System significantly enhances road safety by providing real-time accident detection and immediate notifications to emergency services. This system aims to reduce response time and increase the chances of saving lives in critical situations.
