Accident Alert System in Vehicles

Project Title

Accident Alert System in Vehicles

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Vehicles are the basic need for everyday life. Due to the rapid increase in population, these things growing rapidly and cause a lot of problems, such as noise pollution, air pollution, and accidents. Accidents are one of the major problems that people are facing nowadays causes the loss of valuable human lives, body parts, and destruction of vehicles too. Vehicle accidents mainly happens due to over speeding, avoiding rules and regulations, carrying distractions while driving. Distraction while driving is the most common cause of road accidents resulting in more crashes every year than over speeding or drunk and drive cases. Distraction could be caused by variety of reasons such as using cell phone while driving, eating food, drinking water, using built in sound system, etc.

           Automobile has a great importance in our daily life. We utilize it to go to our work place, keep in touch with our friends and family, and deliver our goods. But it can also bring disaster to us and even can kill us through accidents. Speed is one of the most important and basic risk factors in driving. It not only affects the severity of a crash, but also increases risk of being involved in a crash. Despite many efforts taken by different governmental and non-governmental organizations all around the world by various programs to aware against careless driving, yet accidents are taking place every now and then. However, many lives could have been saved if the emergency service could get the crash information in time. As such, efficient automatic accident detection with an automatic notification to the emergency service with the accident location is a prime need to save the precious human life.

Project Objectives

Due to rapid increase in vehicle accidents there is need to change the traditional rescue system with the new automatic “Accident Alert System in Vehicles”. Because the response time of traditional rescue system is slow. The main drawback of traditional reporting system is that someone has to witness the incident. Driver inherited detection system has more advantage which includes the quick reaction, more incident information etc. But in this case driver’s mental stability does matters after the accident. To overcome these drawbacks “Accident Alert System in Vehicles” is proposed.
