System Architecture

Transmitter Section Diagram Receiver Section Diagram IoT Circuit Diagram
Microcontroller

The LPC 2148 is the central processing unit of the system, handling sensor data and communication.

MEMS Sensor

The MEMS sensor detects sudden changes in motion, indicating a potential accident.

GPS and GSM Modules

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

IoT Overview

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.
