Advancements in IoT Technology: A Comprehensive Approach to Accident Detection and Emergency Response

Abstract

Infrastructure and also technological advancements have actually made life less complex for individuals, causing huge demand for vehicles. This results in an increase in road mishaps. An accident is a vulnerable and unintended occasion, as well as it can additionally occur because of the carelessness of the vehicle drivers. With the increasing number of road accidents and the high mortality rate associated with them, there is a growing need for a system that can detect accidents and provide timely assistance to the victims. In this project, we propose an IoT based Accident Detection and Rescue System that leverages various sensors, GSM, GPS, fire sensor, IR sensor, MQ135 Gas sensor, I2C LCD, DC Motor modules, to detect an accident and alert the concerned authorities. The proposed system has the potential to reduce the response time in the event of an accident, thereby improving the chances of survival for the victim. The project combines the latest advancements in IoT technology and Thingspeak to store the data.
