Abstract
Road accidents have become a critical concern in recent years, particularly due to unmanaged road conditions and challenging geographical terrains, leading to a significant rise in fatalities. Timely detection and rapid response to such incidents are crucial to reducing casualties. This paper presents the design and development of an electronic system, “Vehicle Accident Detection and SMS Conveyor,” which automatically detects accident locations and communicates the incident to relevant authorities via SMS. The system integrates multiple sensors and modules, including an MPU-6050 (gyroscope and accelerometer), ESP32 microcontroller, GSM module, and GPS module. The MPU-6050 monitors vehicle tilt angles and sudden changes in speed, generating an interrupt signal to the ESP32 upon detecting abnormal conditions indicative of an accident. The ESP32 then retrieves the precise accident coordinates (latitude, longitude, and altitude), as well as the date and time, from the GPS module. Subsequently, the GSM module transmits an alert message to the nearest police station or rescue team. This system not only aids in real-time accident reporting but also facilitates efficient rescue operations and provides valuable data for post-incident investigations, contributing to improved transport management and road safety.
