Abstract - This document enables the real-time chase of a
car and aims to reduce the risk of fatalities due to delaysinthe
delivery of help by informing the involved parties about the
vehicle's accident. A government assessment indicates that
driving when fatigued and driving while intoxicated account
for 22 and 33 percent of accidents in India, respectively. Ifhelp
can be obtained as soon as possible, the number of lives lost
can be reduced. The Arduino Uno, which serves as the
controller, is interfaced with a GPS module, GSM module, and
accelerometer to create a system thatmayalerttheconcerned
parties about the accident. The GPS module transmits the
location of the accident through the accelerometer, which
recognizes it by a change in the pre-set value of the vehicle
orientation.
Key Words: Accelerometer, automatic emergency
messaging system, Accident detection, Impact Sensor,
Bluetooth, Arduino, GSM Module, GPS Module.
1. INTRODUCTION
Road crashes may be a significant problem in Asian
nations as well as many other nations. Road accidents
constitute the majority of fatalities worldwide. According to
a federal road transport survey [1], the quantitative
relationship of road accidents in 2020 is 4.61 lakhs, within
which number of casualties is 1.47 lakhs, or 402 people die
every day in Asian country. As a consequence, Asian nation
has the highest mortality rate in the world.
Road accidents are caused by rushing, underage
drinking, and violating the law. According to research, the
main key contributor to casualties in traffic accidents is the
delay in dispatching emergency services. The individual
might be rescued if the delays are often reduced. It might be
quite challenging for an accident victim to inform the
authorities or their loved ones about their disasters. The
planned system is used to reduce the time it takes to
dispatch emergency services after an accident. Any
automobile routinely has the vehicle pursuit and accident
detection equipment installed. The coordinatesareobtained
via a GPS module if a car is stolen or involved in an accident,
and they are then updated on a Google map.
In the case of an accident, the travelershouldobtain
aid as soon as possible, and others close to individuals
should also be alerted. The articlesuggestsa systemin which
label sensors deployed on the vehicle will notice a collision
and alert a tiny controller, which then sends on information
to the cloud server that includes the coordinate position of
the collision as well as the location information.
The International System of Units for Mobile
Communication GSM module sends the google map link to a
predetermined mobile sort of family residentslivingclose to
the police headquarters. The accident is discovered using a
measurement equipment, and the price is compared to the
formula's anticipated threshold price. By activating the
Google Map link included in the SMS, the acquaintance may
view the precise position of the vehicle.
1.1 MOTIVATION
In India, the percent of mortality have been
connected to traffic accidents. If they receive medical
treatment at the right time, the majority of lives might be
saved. The initiative helps to minimize the number of
fatalities brought on by the failure to respond quickly to
incidents involving vehicles.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
It became evident after examining several inquiries
reports on traffic accidents that failure to provideassistance
to the accident victims promptly was the primary cause of
fatalities in these incidents. The measurementsystem-based
transportation system was designed to notify the police
station or the family membersoftheaccidentvictimsassoon
as possible about the accident, allowing assistance to be
given to those who have been injured in a traffic accident as
soon as possible. In order to enhance the victim's chances of
survival, the medical emergency care unit would arrive at
the scene of the accident without delay.
2. RELATED WORKS
The missing vehicle's actual location can be located
by using the GPS and GSM modules, which are often used. In
both the on and off situations where the car is, this
mechanism is functioning in full force. And if there is any
interruption while the system is functioning normally,theIR
detector will notice it and,uponrapididentification,send the
lover of the unintentional victim a Google Maps link that can
be used to find the exact site of the car. When the owner of
the car receives the message, they may respond, and as a
result, the vehicle's engine speed can be reduced, it
eventually shuts off, and the doors aregoingtobebarred[3].

In the realm of transportation, the study of vehicle-
to-vehicle communication is seen as being of high
significance. The majority of systems are in charge of
managing this accident detection [4]. Nowadays, GPS and
CCTV accident detections are supported by a wide range of
systems. Using a pressure gauge or frequency counter,
accidents are discovered. Thevideo-baseddetectors will also
help it find the accidents. Accidents that the GPS module
detects as well as speed and other factors makeitriskyto set
off the wrong alert and are less effective.
The GPS and CCTV-based accidents awareness
systems that encircle GSMsend latitude and line of longitude
values, but because the user may not be capable of
understanding the GPSmessage,theseresultsdon'tappearto
be of any service to the loved ones of accidental victims [5].
Most often, "Radio Frequency"-based detectors that are
limited to a specific location are used to identify accidents;
however, if a vehicle moves beyond that range, the detectors
will not be able to identify it [6]. Furthermore, video-based
detection may be a very challenging approach [7]. Similar to
this, the author of [8] argued that speed-based detectors
seem to issue the wrong signal whenever certain disruptions
occur. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system that
generates fewer false alarms and communicates the precise
position of the car in a way that is also easily understandable
to the loved one, and as a result, vehicle tracking methods
employ GPS system through a variety of requests. Through a
variety of applications,GPSmodulesareemployedforvehicle
pursuit tactics, andalloftheseapproachesareverynecessary
to track down the cars and allow their committee to often
check on them [9]. There are several routes available for
following a vehicle. Small-scale businesses employ a variety
of mobile applications, while large-scale businesses useanet
server for vehicle tracking. In general, golem apps were
created for calculating travel distance and an estimated
arrival time at a specified site [10]. Although it is technically
not conceivable, it is simple to state that the vehicle's precise
location will be determined using GPS. Despite having
sophisticated technology, it is too difficult to always obtain
the correct coordinate. Mistreatment It is easy to obtain the
vehicle's real line of longitude and latitude data using the
Kalman filter [11]. Everyone isawarethatthereareanumber
of techniques to determine the precisepositionofthecarthat
had an accident. When an accident occurs, it is extremely
difficult forthe sufferer to contact their loved ones,hospitals,
or the police. An associate in nursing alert message will be
delivered to the system's given timeframe under this
situation [12]. Accident detection abuse smart phone is
predicted in [13]. However, there are several filters used in
smartphones to prevent false alerts if an accident is detected
while using a mobile device. As a result, the risk of discovery
is decreased for minor incidents like strike collisions. The
writers of [14] have already included the idea of the system.
The proposed system uses several uncomfortable sensors to
identify accidents. In order to monitor the space, an
ultrasonic sensorcomponentisused.[15]isatechnologythat
protects against armed robberies and accidents while
allowing intercity transportation companies to track their
cars over time. Traditional accident detection systems using
transport sensing elements, such as the (ACDS) system, are
addressed in [16]. Detecting and disclosing remote vehicle
accidents In-vehicle sensors, such as accelerometers and
airbag readiness monitors, are used by the system to detect
auto accidents and immediately alert emergency personnel.

B. Working
A description of the AMS-based System may be seen in Fig.
2. As soon as the vehicle notices a sudden change in the
threshold values, with aid a measuring equipment detector
that raised a little red flag Arduino UNO as soon as an
accident is discovered. Place the measuring equipment
detector's actual sensitivity value, Throughout the collision,
an accident is discovered. When Arduino uses a
measurement device to find the mistake or set bit Arduino
turns on the GSM module witha motiondetector.transmitsa
manually saved message from an accident victim's friend a
pre-stored SMS to that choice.
In addition, it spreads the news of the accident to all of their
numerous acquaintances at once. Automatic emergency mes
saging system is the term used to describe this method.
The purpose of this system is toinformthemoveindividuals'
family members about any accidents or crashes that have
happened. When a collision or accident occurs, the AMS
system utilizes an electrical gadget that can detect the
sudden tremor. To the microcontroller is sent a symbol in
this way. The Arduino module is connected to GSM
hardware. The GSM device talk about the accidentandsends
a nurse SMS to the present cell phone variety.

AMS is built mostly on the Arduino-based ATMEGA16
microcontroller. All of the functionality of the SMS alert
system is provided by this Arduino. Additionally, it handles
the filtering of the incoming signals. By using chump change
within the ASCII text file, this point maybechangedTheAMS
system stands out since it does more than only warn the
neighbors with its siren.Additionally,itsendsa warning SMS
to cell phones, nevertheless. By programming in Arduino,
these numbers may be changed.

5. CONCLUSION
For the purpose of preventing traffic accidents, the AMS
system will be essential. Through the use of an automatic
messaging system, it offers aid to the separated person in
traffic accidents as soon as feasible.Thevictim'slikelihoodof
survival is increased as a result. If the automobile
manufacturer works with the AMS system, the gearbox may
be used efficiently inside the vehicle. Modern automobiles
must be able to configure the AMS system in some manner.

The use of GSM technology allows the auto or police service
to react quickly in the event of fatal accidents or other
humanitarian emergencies,therefore reducingtheirseverity.
In the future, a dashboard will be created to keep record of
all the statistics regarding accidents (drivers'drivinghabits)
and to alert friends, the major road hospital (rescue team),
and public sectors when an accident occurs. The OBD (On-
Board Diagnostic) data will be examined by the AMSsystem,
which can help automakers find any design defects and also
help insurance firms find instances of claim fraud.
