Nowadays lots of accidents happen on highways due to the increase in traffic and also due to rash driving of drivers. And in many situations, the family members of the ambulance and police authority are not informed in time. This results in delaying the help reached to the person who suffered due to an accident. Our project Vehicle Accident Detection with GPS and GSM modem is designed to avoid such situations.
In this project, we are going to use an accident detection unit that will be fitted inside the front and rear bonnets of the car. This accident detection unit consists of two metallic plates which are kept at a little distance apart from each other. In case of an accident, if the car is hit by some other vehicle or an object then due to the impact the two metal plates will come in contact with each other. Due to this, a signal will be sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is the central processing unit CPU of our project. Once the microcontroller gets a signal from metal plates, then it will immediately turn on the buzzer.
You will get the following documents with this project:
We have provided a key to the project. This key should be used by the driver. If the accident is very normal, or the driver has just hit the wall in some situations like parking then the driver will press the key. This will inform the microcontroller that this is a very normal accident and then the system will not send sms. But if the driver is not in a situation to press the switch or if the accident is really a major accident then the driver will not press the key and then the system will send an SMS.
The microcontroller receives the coordinates from the GPS modem. Then it will send this information to the GSM modem. The GSM modem is used to send this information via SMS. SMS will be sent to the family member of the driver so that they can take immediate action to help the persons suffering due to this accident.
Contents of Text sms are as below:
An accident has occurred.
Longitude = 18 38.6878 N
Latitude = 73 45.3423 E
In this project, we have added an alcohol sensor. The purpose of the Alcohol sensor is to detect the consumption of alcohol by the driver of the vehicle. This will help to prevent the accident caused due to the “Drink and drive” conditions. Implementing an alcohol sensor project will be “Vehicle accident detection and prevention”. We are informing the owner of the car through SMS that the driver has consumed alcohol.
The alcohol sensor will be placed on the steering wheel of the car. This means the sensor will be just near the driver of the vehicle. The purpose behind this is that if some other person has consumed the alcohol then it should send an SMS. For example the person near the driver or backseat. If a person other than the driver has consumed alcohol then the sensor will not detect the presence of alcohol. This is because the range of the sensor is low. The sensor detects only the percentage of alcohol in the air which is near the steering wheel.
This alcohol sensor is an analog sensor and as the microcontroller is not able to read the analog voltage, so we have used a comparator. The output of the alcohol sensor is variable voltage. As the alcohol percentage increases the voltage will also increase. So when there is no alcohol consumption, the low voltage will be at the output. And when the person has consumed the alcohol, the voltage will increase. So we have used a comparator, this comparator has a fixed voltage at its positive input. And at the negative input, the voltage from the output of the analog alcohol sensor is given.
Whenever the voltage of the sensor crosses the threshold voltage level, the comparator gives low output to the microcontroller. This way microcontroller detects the output from the alcohol sensor. Then it sends out an SMS to the owner of the car indicating that the driver has consumed the alcohol. This SMS will also contain the longitude and latitude. So in this way, the owner will also come to know the location of the vehicle.
Question: The 8051 microcontroller has only 1 RXD and 1 TXD pins on p3.0 and p3.1 respectively. Then how can we interface both modems to the microcontroller because the output of max 232 of one modem is connected to RXD pin of 8051, but 8051 has only 1 RXD pin then how can we do it?
Answer: This information is mentioned in the project report which you will get with the project.
Question: Can we add sensors to this project? Can we enhance this project to add some more modules?
Answer: Yes, we can enhance this project. We can add these Modules: LPG gas sensor, Temperature sensor, etc.
Question: Which GSM modem is used in this project? can we use a mobile handset instead of the modem?
Answer: We have used SIMcom 300 GSM modem. No, we can’t use the mobile handset

are you dealing with spare parts also or cd,s contaning project
Hi mannan ghani, we provide fully assembled and tested circuit with CD containing all documents and software.
how sure i can believe this project will work fine????reply me as soon as possible
cause i eager to buy this!!!
Hi vishnu sankar, don't worry this project works as mentioned above. We can send you the video of the project so that you can go through it. And if you want any modifications in the project then we can do those changes.
can we upload the data on a website through sim900
hi there.. how do i order this?? please send me full information.. i need this a.s.a.p..
Hi Faiz, you have to make payment into sbi bank you can deposit cheque or through online transfer. Then we will send project by DTDC courier. for more information visit this pagge: https://www.projectsof8051.com/how-to-order/
hello,do u'll have a project which is a combination of alcohol detection and vehicle accident detection ?
Hi drashti, yes we can implement this project. Vehicle accident detection with alcohol detector. In this project a sms will be sent to the car owner / family member when the person driving the car has consumed the alcohol.
cna we make this project without using a gps modem..i.e if we only use a gsm modem which will send a msg directly to the concerned person.??
metal plates in project wer it gonna b fix on vehical
Hi kajal, yes in actual use these metal should be placed on the vehicle inside the bumper of the car. But as educational project is a demo or prototype, we will provide metal plates which are not fixed.
can we order this and the shipping will be in the Philippines? if you can how much it will cost. thank you!
can we get the location in sms where the accident has occured?
mechanism of sensor in vehicle accident detectin using gsm and gps?
How big is the final product? I mean, what's its size?
Where are you expecting we put it in the car?
Does it have a case? Any picture of it?
Thanks.
what is the sensor you are using in rf and gsm based accident tracker?
can you please help me in this.
HEY I WANT TO BUY THIS PROJECT BUT SOME MODIFICATIONS ARE REQUIRED
I WANT THIS PROJECT TO BOTH TRACK THE VEHICLE AND DETECT THE ACCIDENT.
Can we modify the project by changing the sensor and rewrite the code after we receive the project from u ?
can the location be brought on google map also in this project.....
Hi,
what is the accuracy of the GPS?
Regards,
How metal plates can connect to micro-controller? Can we use another component for detection of accident? Or can we use sensor? If yes then which one ??
Thank you.
which sensor we need to use for this project?
Can you ship this project to Nigeria if bought?
Hi Alabi, yes we can ship to Nigeria.
Hi,
I want this accident detecting system. What is the price? I am srilankan. How can i get this kit? Please advice me.
Hi Hiroshaan, we can ship this project to Srilanka. Extra shipping charges are applicable for delivery out of India. Please email us your detail address. We will let you know all details.
What is used in this, arduino or avr??
Hi deepika, we have used 89s51 in this project. It is a 8051 series microcontroller.
which device is use to identify the accident
which type of metal plate is use to identify accident?
Where exactly this device is placed ina vehicle?
Why it didn't came into existence till now?What is the reason?
How much time it takes to send the message after accident?
Hi ,
I have a query - With your solution about crash detection , can it also find out which side car has got hit in-case of accident.
Hi Nitin T, in our project we have 2 pair of sensors. One should be fitted at front and other at back side. We can modify the project to inform whether car has crashed from front side or back side.
