ABSTRACT

Vehicle accidents are most common if the driving is inadequate. These happen on most
factors if the driver is drowsy. This idea is designed based on Arduino Microcontroller board
and helps in controlling accidents due to unconsciousness through different sensors. Here one
eye blink sensor, alcohol sensor, temperature sensor, MEMS sensor are fixed in vehicle
where if driver loses consciousness, then it is indicated through alarm and displays on LCD
.Using GPS, vehicle is tracked & message will be sent through GSM modem. So that police
can trace the location through the GPS modem and necessary action will be taken. If any of
these sensors are activated then warns the alarm and alert message is sent to the pre-defined
number to intimate the driver and the concerned person. This idea is useful in preventing and
detecting the accidents precisely by means of sensors fixed in the vehicles.

1. INTRODUCTION
Vehicle accidents are most common if the driving is inadequate. These happen on most
factors if the driver is drowsy or if he is alcoholic. Driver’s drowsiness is recognized as an
important factor in the vehicle accidents.[2] This idea is designed based on arduino
microcontroller board and helps in controlling accidents due to unconsciousness through
different sensors. Here one eye blink sensor, alcohol sensor, temperature sensor and MEMS
sensor are fixed in vehicle where if driver loses consciousness, then it is indicated through
buzzer and displays on LCD. Using GPS vehicle is tracked & message will be sent through
GSM modem[4]. Alcohol breath analyzer is used to detect the driver is alcoholic or not . If
yes, vehicle will not start. Eye blink sensor is used to know the eye closing and opening
position of driver[3]. This output is given to logic circuit to indicate the alarm. Temperature
sensor is used to know the vehicle’s engine temperature. If the vehicle’s engine is overheated
or if the engine’s temperature is above the predefined temperature then it indicates through
alarm and stops the vehicle. Micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) sensor can be used as
a crash or roll over detector of the vehicle. When a vehicle met with an accident or car roll
over’s [1], this sensor will detect the signal and sends the alert message through the GSM
modem to police control room or a rescue team and to a concerned person. So that police can
trace the location through GPS and necessary action will be taken. If any of these sensors are
activated then warns the alarm and alert message is sent to the pre-defined number to intimate
the driver and concerned person. This idea is useful in preventing and detecting the accidents
precisely by means of sensors fixed in vehicles.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Accident avoidance and detection on highways”[1] is when you think of work-
related safety hazards, you probably think about what goes on inside the work place. Boneo
the greatest threats to your safety are not in the workplace, but rather on the road. Someone is
injured every 18seconds.

“Implementation of the Driver Drowsiness Detection System”[2] is Driver fatigue is a

significant factor in a large number of vehicle accidents. The development of technologies for
detecting or preventing drowsiness at the wheel is a major challenge in the field of accident
avoidance systems.

“Accident Prevention Using Eye Blinking and Head Movement”[3] is that describes a
realtime online prototype driver fatigue monitor. It uses remotely located charge-coupled-
device cameras equipped with active infrared illuminators to acquire video images of the
driver.

“Intelligent Car System for Accident Prevention Using ARM-7”[4] that is about making cars
more intelligent and interactive which may notify or resist user under unacceptable
conditions, they may provide critical information of real time situations to rescue or police or
owner himself.

“Speed control module”[5] This paper presents a new design to control the speed of the
automobiles at remote places for fixed time. Generally, in automobiles throttle position is
controlled by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) mainly according to the one of the inputs
received from the accelerator’s Pedal position sensor.

“Intelligent accident identification system using GPS, GSM modem”[5] Recently

technological and population development, the usage of vehicles are rapidly increasing and at
the same time the occurrence accident is also increased.
“Design and Development of Accident Alerting using Eye Blinking and Head Movement”[6]
Drowsy driving has been implicated as a causal factor in many accidents. Therefore, real time
drowsiness monitoring can prevent traffic accidents effectively.

“Embedded controller for safety in automobile”[7]This paper proposes a real time accident
prevention system by using sensor technology. The objective is to detect the driver’s fatigue
and drunk driving by alarming if the same pattern repeats and to control the speed near the
school zone using RF module.

“Intel-Eye[8]: An Innovative System for Accident Detection, Warning and Prevention Using
Image Processing (A Two– Way Approach in Eye Gaze Analysis) Driver in-alertness is an
important cause for most accidents related to vehicle crashes. Drowsy driver detection
methods can form the basis of a system to potentially reduce accidents related to driver
doziness.
