In this Automatic Vehicle Accident Alert System project, we are using Node MCU, Arduino UNO, Accelerometer, and GPS module to store the location of the vehicle and to send an immediate alert message to the nearby hospitals, police stations…etc. Here we use serial communication to send the information from Arduino to Node MCU.
The Arduino receives the latitude and longitude values of the vehicle from the GPS module. The accelerometer reads the XYZ axis values. These values are read by Arduino. The XYZ values are compared with the condition given in the code to check whether the vehicle is met with an accident or not.
If the vehicle is met with an accident, latitude, and longitude values are copied to the NodeMCU, and the message is sent to the nearby police stations, and hospitals using the msg91 application. The GPS location of the vehicle is continuously stored in the IBM cloud.
