Abstract:

In this work, an effort is made to design an embedded system to notify the occurrence of accident. The main objective of this work is to save the precious lives by avoiding the road accidents or by providing the emergency medical assistance to the accident victims with the help of an embedded system. This system will notify the occurrence of the accident by sending the message to the nearest hospital, ambulance or the police station and also to the relatives of the accident victim. It will also help in finding the reason for the accident such as condition of the driver before the accident by monitoring the driver s fatigue using iris recognition; condition of the vehicle by monitoring the vital parameters of the vehicle such as Engine RPM, Tyre pressure, Brake pad condition and Engine oil level, before the accident taking place. The data logger designed will work as a black box and stores the monitored parameters in regular intervals of time. This can be used by the service station for the preventive maintenance of the vehicle or by the authorities to solve the accident case. When the driver s fatigue is detected, the system alerts the driver. If there is no response from the driver, then the vehicle switches to autonomous mode from the manual mode and will be safely parked on its own by using Drive-by-Wire technology.
