Accident Alert SMS System
Project Title:
Accident Alert SMS System (IoT-Based Emergency Notifier)
Project Description:
The Accident Alert SMS System is an IoT-based project designed to detect vehicle collisions or accidents and immediately send emergency SMS alerts to pre-defined contacts (family, ambulance service, or police). It enhances post-accident response time and can potentially save lives by reducing the delay in emergency support.
The system uses sensors to detect a crash, then automatically triggers a GSM module or cloud-based SMS API to send a message including location coordinates (GPS) and vehicle ID.
Key Features:
-
Accident Detection Sensor
Uses an accelerometer or vibration sensor to detect sudden shocks, rollovers, or impact force. -
Location Tracking
Integrates with a GPS module to capture real-time location of the vehicle at the time of the accident. -
SMS Notification System
Automatically sends a customized SMS to emergency contacts using a GSM module (like SIM800L) or via an API (like Twilio). -
Backup Power Option
Ensures the device works even if the car's main power fails. -
Manual SOS Button
Allows passengers to trigger the alert manually in case of a medical or non-collision emergency.
Technology Stack:
-
Microcontroller: Arduino Uno / ESP32 / Raspberry Pi
-
Sensors: Accelerometer (e.g., ADXL335 or MPU6050), Vibration Sensor
-
Modules: GSM Module (SIM800L), GPS Module (NEO-6M)
-
Optional Web/Mobile Dashboard: HTML, Bootstrap, JavaScript (for viewing alert history)
-
Backend (optional): Node.js / PHP for alert logging
