Abstract

One of the most common causes of death is auto accidents. The worst thing that may happen to a road user is a traffic accident, despite the fact that they happen regularly. The worst part is that we fail to learn from our on-the-road errors. Most people who use roads regularly are extremely familiar with the fundamental guidelines and safety procedures that should be followed, but it is only their own negligence that results in accidents and wrecks. Accidents and crashes are primarily caused by human error. Here are some examples of normal human actions that result in accidents. 1. Driving too fast; 2. Driving while intoxicated; 3. Distracting the driver; 4. Running red lights; 5. Avoid utilizing safety equipment, such as seatbelts and helmets; 6. Driving erratically and overtaking improperly in order to save lives in a traffic collision, we’re going to construct an Arduino-based car accident alert system that combines GPS, GSM, and an accelerometer. If the accelerometer detects an abrupt shift in the vehicle’s axis, the GSM module alerts you and communicates the location of the accident to your cell phone. The GPS module’s latitude and longitude are utilized to pinpoint the accident’s location, which is provided as a Google Map link. The message also contains the vehicle’s speed in knots.
