Introduction

Accidents are a significant concern on roads, and timely rescue can save lives. This IoT-based automatic accident detection and rescue system uses sensors to detect accidents and automatically sends alerts with precise location details to emergency services and contacts.

Features

• Accident Detection: Utilizes sensors to detect a collision and determine if an accident has occurred.
• Automatic Alert System: Sends automated alerts to predefined contacts and emergency services with the accident’s location and other relevant details.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously monitors the vehicle's status and provides real-time updates.
• Location Tracking: Uses GPS to track the exact location of the accident.

Technologies Used

• Arduino
• GPS Module
• GSM Module
• Accelerometer/Gyroscope (e.g., MPU-6050)
• Sensors (e.g., vibration sensor)
• IoT Platforms (e.g., ThingsBoard, MQTT)
• Programming Languages: C/C++, Python

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/syedissambukhari/IoT-Based-Automatic-Accident-Detection-And-Rescue-system.git

2. Hardware Setup:

   • Connect the Arduino, GPS module, GSM module, and sensors according to the provided circuit diagram and code.

3. Software Setup:

   • Install the necessary Arduino libraries for GPS, GSM, and sensors.
   • Open the .ino file in the Arduino IDE.
   • Configure the GSM module with your SIM card details.
   • Upload the code to the Arduino board.

Usage

1. Configure Contacts:

   • Edit the Arduino code to include the phone numbers or email addresses of emergency contacts.

2. Deploy the System:

   • Install the system in a vehicle, ensuring all connections are secure and the GPS and GSM modules have a clear signal.

3. Monitoring and Alerts:

   • The system will automatically detect accidents and send alerts to the configured contacts with location details.
