Abstract- The Integrated vehicle tracking and accident alarm system is a multi functionality embedded system which provides emergency services for vehicle along with security. This embedded system requests for emergency services whenever the vehicle met with accident, and system avoids unnecessary emergency requests incase of safe condition of passengers at that situation. This system makes use of an inductive proximity sensor, which senses the key during insertion and makes system to request the user for unique password. If the user fails to enter the unique password in three trials, the information of vehicle, location is sent using GSM to the user and police. This makes to track the vehicle, the fuel injector of the car is deactivated so that the user cannot start the car and burglar is locked inside the vehicle itself using interlocking system until the owner sends command to the system from mobile. Owner can completely control his vehicle using his mobile through specified text messages. Whenever the vehicle met with the accident, the accident circuit makes the system to respond by stops the engine, blowing the accident alarm in vehicle, if everyone in vehicle is fine then has to stop the emergency alarm using the switch within the specified time to avoid unnecessary emergency calling. If nobody attends the switch within the span, a message is sent to police and emergency service using GSM about the information of vehicle, accident location using GPS. Keywords- GSM, GPS, Embedded systems, tracking systems, security systems, accident alarm systems, arm.

I. INTRODUCTION Due to lack of emergency alert systems, many people unable to get medical services on time, leading to high death rate in accidents, so there is a necessity to develop such systems along with security measure for automobiles. Security system is also necessary to vehicle as in recent years vehicle thefts are increasing at alarming rate. Here we make a modest attempt to design a intelligent vehicle tracking and accident alarm system to provide security and emergency services along with avoiding false emergency requests. The system provides security by theft control system using authenticating facility through unique password system to vehicle, providing emergency services by detecting the accidents/collisions, system avoids the false emergency requests incase of safe scenario and user can request for emergency services at any instant of time. The integrated vehicle tracking system is installed in the vehicle itself. And the owners/users mobile is the controlling section of the vehicle. The communication between the sections is established by Global Service for Mobile communication modem on vehicle section and mobile of user

III. EMBEDDED SYSTEM BLOCKS The Main Control Module: In this design, we chose an ARM7TDMI-S core based microcontroller called LPC2148, which is the production of NXP Semiconductors. The LPC2148 microcontroller is high-performance 32-bit RISC Microcontroller with Thumb extensions ,it has 512KB Flash Memory and 40KB Static RAM, it use 12.00MHz Crystal, so it can process data with the maximum high speed at 60MHz when using it with Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) internal MCU. It has Real Time Clock circuit with 32.768 KHz XTAL and Battery Backup. Support InSystem Programming (ISP) and In-Application Programming (IAP) through On-Chip Boot-Loader

Software via Port UART-0 (RS232), circuit to connect with standard 20 Pin JTAG ARM for Real Time Debugging. Has standard 2.0 USB as Full Speed inside, has Circuit to connect with Dot-Matrix LCD with circuit to adjust its contrast by using 16 PIN Connector. RS232 Communication Circuit by using 2 Channel. SD/MMC card connector circuit by using SSP. EEPROM interface using I2C. It has PS2 keyboard interface and general purpose I/O pins. GSM Modem: Communication among vehicle, owner, police and emergency is established accordingly as per requirement through GSM (Global Service for Mobile communication). A GSM modem is a specialized type of modem which accepts a SIM card, and operates over a subscription to a mobile operator, just like a mobile phone. From the mobile operator perspective, a GSM modem looks just like a mobile phone. A GSM modem can be a dedicated modem device with a serial, USB or Bluetooth connection, or it may be a mobile phone that provides GSM modem capabilities. A GSM modem could also be a standard GSM mobile phone with the appropriate cable and software driver to connect to a serial port or USB port on our computer. GPS Modem: Exact location on earth can be known GPS latitude, longitude information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space based radionavigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites and a network of ground stations used for monitoring and control. GPS is operated and maintained by the Department of Defense (DOD). The GPS is a constellation of satellites in orbit around the Earth which transmit their positions in space as well as the precise time. It is the receiver that collects data from the satellites and computes its location anywhere in the world based on information it gets from the satellites. IV. SYSTEM DESIGN AND ITS OPERATION

communication. Our system detects the accident and requests for emergency services, this system also providing the security by controlling/ preventing the unauthorized usage. It provides security by alert messages to owner and cops by sending information. Here in this system we are using the controller and modules like GPS, GSM, switches, accident circuit. A person can start the vehicle by key, when the user inserted the key; proximity sensor senses the key and sends response to controller. Controller asks the user to enter unique password. User has to enter the correct unique number using keypad within three trails, these all are displayed in Liquid Crystal Display. A user who enters the correct unique code will able to start the vehicle, if the trails exceeds then the fuel injector of the car is deactivated by controller using the relay and sends message of information i.e Vehicle number, details, location to the owner ,police about the unauthorized usage. System also locks the intruder within using interlocking system until the owner sends message in prescribed text (@Release&) to release. Owner can block the vehicle at any instant of time by sending the message in prescribed text (@Block&).

Intelligent vehicle tracking and accident alarm system uses GSM module at vehicle section and mobile at user used for transmission and reception of information using Global service for mobile

Whenever vehicle met with an accident when an authorized one is using, accident/collision detector detects it and makes controller to respond by deactivating the engine, blowing the accident alarm using buzzer in vehicle, if everyone in vehicle is fine then has to stop the emergency alarm using the switch within the specified time to avoid unnecessary emergency calling. If nobody attends the switch within the span, a message is sent to police and emergency service using GSM about the information of vehicle, accident location using GPS. This system provides necessary information i.e. Vehicle number, location to emergency service, this makes them to

attend quickly, at same time avoiding the unnecessary requests V. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE Hence a modest attempt is made to bring multi feature system for vehicles is successful. The work presented here makes to decrease the death rate in accidents and avoiding unnecessary requests to emergency service centers. This system makes easy to provide security to vehicle and also to track the vehicle location. The whole system can be made more compact and flexible. All the modules and sensing system can be brought under a single chip for the system
