Smart Car with Safety Features and Accident Detection Alert System

Abstract

Technologically the automobile sector is rising fast and the road vehicles on road is stepping up every day. On other hand, the safety of vehicles and riders also matters. We must ensure adequate safety in each vehicle. Our paper aims to provide safety features to a vehicle with real-time location access of the vehicle. Our prototype will consist of features like an accident detection and alert system, drunk driver alert, passenger safety button, and automatic airbag triggering. Various types of modules and sensors has intermixed with Arduino Hardware for making this prototype, such as, accelerometer (ADXL335) sensor to identify accidents, SW420 impact sensor to detect vibration in cars and activate the accident prevention system of the car, MQ3 alcohol sensor to detect whether the driver is drunk or not, GPS and GSM modules to locate car’s location and to send an alert notification/message to its nearest authority.
