Accident Alert Using ZIGBEE and GPS
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The Internet of Things is a network of physical objects embedded with electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. Currently, when an accident occurs, either the victim or the witness has to inform the local law enforcement and call the ambulance for help. This manual process causes a lot of delay in providing assistance to the injured person(s). To reduce this delay, we propose an automated system that sends an alert message to the law enforcement in the locality of the accident and also to the ambulance, as soon as the accident occurs, so that help may be provided as soon as possible. For automating this process, we make use of the vibration sensor in the car and ZigBee for transmission of information. The vibration sensor is activated when the accident occurs which, simultaneously activates the PIC, which contains the information regarding the vehicle, and the GPS, which, obtains the location of the accident. This information is loaded into the ZigBee transmitter, which transmits it to the ZigBee transceiver from where it is sent to the server via a LAN (Land Area Network) connection. The server then searches the database for emergency contact numbers pertaining to that location. An SMS gateway is then used to send the alert message to those numbers. The outcome of this system is the automatic and immediate alert to the local law enforcement and ambulance about the accident.
