AbstractAn automatic accident system for traffic
accidents is introduced in this paper. It can
automatically find a traffic accident, search for
the spot and then send the basic information to
first aid center within two seconds covering
geographical
coordinates,
the
time
and
circumstances in which a traffic accident takes
place. GPS software is fitted in the vehicle will
now start communicate with the satellite and get
the latitude and longitude values and send the
information to the centralized server.
Then the server will search the nearest
hospital and send the accident information to the
hospital. The hospital will then be sending the
ambulance to the accident zone. Then the injured
people will be saved as soon as possible. This
process will save time in particular for the areas in
the outer part of main zone.

I. INTRODUCTION
The rapid development of economic
construction and peoples living standard continues to
improve. as well as road traffic accident take place
frequently which caused huge losses of life and
property to the country and people. Traffic has
become an important event in the national interest. it
will be a serious consequences if people cannot sent
weft to the outside for help when traffic occur. Poor
emergency incident is a major cause for the high
number of traffic fatalities and the death rate in our
country.
The design is a equipment which can detect
accidents, search of accident place and sent SMS
automatically. Application of this device can
significantly shorten the warning time of the accident
and determine the accident site. Accident detection
and information sending are full automated, which
win a valuable rescue time. It plays a significant role
in rescuing the wounded lives and reducing loss of
lives and property of the State and people to reduce
road traffic hazards.

II. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The design is a traffic accident automatic detection
and sending SMS device. It makes up of the control
module PIC16F877A, information detection module
includes small-scale three-axis accelerometer sensor
ADXL335, GPS positioning module GS-87, people
machine interaction module, including the LCD, and
message sending module GSM module. When a
vehicle collision accident occurred, large number
three-axis accelerometer ADXL335 detects the level
of the collision automatically, vehicle rollover
accident occurred, the Z-axis of small range
acceleration sensor automatically detects the vehicle
roll angle . Accident signal is sent when the angle is
greater than the set value given. using mobile phone
text messages of accident information (accident
geographical coordinates, altitude, license plate
number, time, date) through the GSM sent to the
owner's family,Relatives and friends, rescue units and
the transport sector.block diagram shown in Figure 3.

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile. In our

system, GSM is used to send message. We are using
MAX232 to communicate microcontroller with
GSM. If temperature, accelerometer or Strain gauge
values are greater than fixed values then message will
get send to hospital, police station and Relatives
using GSM module.[3]

1.Microcontroller (16F877A): Microcontroller is a computer on a chip that
is programmed to perform almost any control,
sequencing, monitoring and display the function.
Because of its relatively low cost, it
becomes the natural choice to the designer.
Microcontroller is designed to be all of that in one. Its
great
advantage is no other external components
are needed for its
because all necessary
peripherals are already built into it. Thus, we can
save the time, space and cost which is
needed to construct low cost
devices.[5
PIC Microcontroller
1) 8K bytes of Flash Program Memory.
2) 368 bytes of Data Memory (RAM).
3) 256 bytes of EEPROM Data Memory.
4) Two 8-bit Timers & one 16-bit Timer.
5) 10 bit ADC of 8 channels.
6) USART available.
7) 5 I/O Ports A, B, C, D, and E.
8) 15 Interrupts.
9) Low-power consumption.[5]
2.Strain Gauge: Strain Gauge is used for measurement of
bending. It is the one of the input to our system. In
our system we are using resistive strain gauge which
has value 397.5. By considering the Normal value
& fixed Dash value if Dash value given by strain
gauge is less than Normal value then message will
not send or if Dash value is greater than Normal
value then message will get send.
3.GPS Module: GPS Module is used to find out the location of
accident. Using GPS system that will send only the
location with Latitude and longitude signals to the
PIC microcontroller. [3]
4.GSM Module:-

Accelerometer is used detect the motion of

vehicle in particular direction (either in X, Y or Z
direction).The value of analog voltage of
accelerometer changes from 0V to 5V with the
respective change in angle of inclination. It senses the
shocks to the vehicle.[4]
6.Temperature Sensor: Temperature Sensor is used to detect fire
occurred to the vehicle. If temperature >(normal
value for temperature sensor) that is any part of
vehicle get fired then temperature sensor sense the
change in temperature or firethen SMS will get send
to respective persons. In our system we are using the
LM35 temperature sensor. [4]
V. CONCLUSION
An accident identification system for traffic accidents
is designed in this paper. It can identify the accident
and locate the accident spot accurately & sends the
SMS, realizing the automation of accident detection
and information transmission. Consequently, it will
save the rescuers form wasting their time in search.
The experiments of model cars collision and rollover
proved that this system can automatically detect
corresponding accident and sent related information.
VI.FUTURE SCOPE
If the accident does not get controlled at this
stage, then the deaths due to accidents will get
increased day by days and one stage will come when
the youth generation in India will get unable to
develop our country.
To overcome this problem, we are designing
this system. In future we can add 3G technology in
this model for video monitoring.
Inside
this
concept,by
using
3G
technology,we can send the video of the accident to
respective person.Due to this they can understand the
actual situation at the location of the accident & can
take the proper reaction against that accident.
