Wireless Accident Detection and Indicator System

Product Summary
Accident Detection Additional Turn Signals Affordable and Competitive Improve Safety and Saves Lives Motorcycle Enthusiasts, Everyday Riders

Wireless Accident Detection and Indicator System

Technical Objectives and Design Goals
Arduino MCU
Arduino UNO will be the main component Each on-arm unit contains Arduino Pro

Devices will use XBee wireless units Speed detection, position coordinates and text alerts

accessed from GPS and SMS Modules

Accelerometer on the on-arm unit will detect changes in Gs

and determine if an accident occurred.

LEDs used in the on-arm unit will provide additional

lighting.
