Intelligent Vehicle Accident Detection Notification System (VADANS) Using Smart Sensor and GPS Technologies
The rapid growth of infrastructure and technology has made our lives easier. The advent of technology has also increased the road accidents and traffic hazards the take place frequently which causes loss of human life and property because of the poor emergency facilities. This project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. An accelerometer can be used in a accident detection application so that rollover of the vehicle can be detected. It can be used as a rollover or crash detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. According to this project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately Push To On buttons will detect which side of the car is being hit or if a car rolls over then the accelerometer will detect it and send signal to the Arduino Microcontroller. The Arduino Microcontroller sends the signal to the main processor which will send the alert message through the Internet Dongle to the police control room and a rescue team and family members. This alert message will contain the current GPS co ordinates of the crash. So the emergency personnel can immediately rush to the location and thereby save a valuable human life. In case if there is a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone`s life, then the alert message can be terminated by a switch/button provided in order to avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team. This paper is useful in detecting the accident by means of both Push To On Button and accelerometer. As there is a scope for future improvement we can add a camera for capturing the images of the accident which will help in understanding the occurrence of accident, this will be very useful for the police personnel.
