Smart Vehicle Tracking, Accident Detection, Alert Generation using IoT

Information Technology

Technology must work for human race and improve the way help reaches a person in distress in the shortest possible time. In a developing nation like India, with the advancement in the transportation technology and rise in the total number of vehicles, road accidents are increasing at an alarming rate. In this project, we are implementing the concept of IoT and Cloud Computing for vehicle tracking, accident detection and prevention. The sensor on seat belt will ensure that the person driving is wearing seat-belt or not, Alcohol sensor will check whether the driver is drunk or not, Vibration Sensor measures the vibration produced in vehicle, when the vibrations are produced and Mechanical switch is pressed then the accident is detected. Accelerometer used to detect bumps and potholes on road. So that before accident occurs some preventive measures can be taken. The proposed system works on GPS/GPRS/GSM which includes all the three things namely GPS, GPRS and GSM. The GPS sends current location of the vehicle; GPRS sends the tracking information to the server and the GSM is used for sending alert message to near-by hospital, police station, mechanic and relatives of victim.
