ABSTRACT:
Security is primary concern for everyone. This Project describes the design of an effective
alarm system that can monitor a vehicle with three different sensors. Presence of any obstacle,
smoke due to fire and glass breaking can be monitored by the status of each individual sensor
and is indicated with an alarm and dialler correspondingly. This alarm shows whether the
sensor has been activated and whether there is a need for automatic dialling. The uniqueness of
this project is not only alerting the driver, it also dials a mobile number which is already programmed
into the system. A mobile number or a landline number can be programmed into the system. As this
system works on existing telephone line, it can dial the number even the subscriber is out of station.
Alarm and dialler are interconnected by using microcontroller of atmel.

Introduction:
Nowadays accidents occur in all the places but
major accidents occur in school zone and
college zone. Because of high speeding of
vehicle. The main objective of the system is to
provide security for the vehicle user and also
detects the accident if occurred and informs
the respective authority through wireless
technologies. If any accident occurs in
highway or any other place. the accident
information system will get activated and
message will be transmitted to respective
authority (Rajesh et al., 2010).
Statistical report says that the
accident occur due to the following reasons;
drunk driver not using the seat belt properly.
This system will check all these things before
the vehicle starts. This automatic accident
detection system will overcome the above
mentioned problems in an effective way.
Present system checks only the seat belt
condition and lacks much security constrains.
According to this system, whenever a person
sits in driver seat of the vehicle, the system
checks for the following parameters with the
driver. The Alcohol sensor, which checks if the

person has consumed alcohol or not. The eye

sensor makes sure that the person in driver seat
does not falls asleep. In case of any accident,
the vibration in vibration sensor increases
beyond the limit and information is sent to
GSM module. The GSM can send message to
respective authority. Thus this system ensures
the life security.
During the recent past years,
some alarm systems and i n t e l l i g e n t
controlled apparatus have been
designed and developed in order to
increase the safety of automobiles.
This
Project describes a design of effective alarm
system that can monitor an automotive /
vehicle / car condition in travelling. The
project name ACCIDENTALERT WITH
AUTOMATIC DIALLER shows that project
is designed to prevent the accident and to
inform emergency about an accident that has
occurred.This project also reduces the problem
that occur by blind spots ( points which are not
visible from a drivers seat) by alerting the
driver about the accident. And this can be done
by using proximity sensor. In another case,
when an accident has taken place, the injured
people need emergency help. Sometimes, this

emergency is not able to reach because of lack

of communication. So, an automatic dialler
system is proposed in this project to rectify
this problem.
In our project, a proximity
detector is used which detects the presence of
an object in its range and alerts the driver
accordingly. A glass breakage sensor and
smoke detector is also introduced in this
project to detect the breakage of glass and
smoke due to fire in the vehicle respectively in
case the accident has taken place. These
sensors send a signal to microcontroller, which
is connected to GSM module. It sends call to
the predefined mobile or emergency number
and informs about this accident.

Prototype Design:Objective of our project work is to alert the

driver for accident as well as if accident have
taken place, a call is send to the emergency
numbers that is already saved .

We are using APR for this purpose. APR is a

small chip in which we can record our
message and can use the message whenever it
is required. We record our message with the
help of mic and same message can be listen
through speaker. Now to alert the driver for
accident we are using proximity sensor. In our
project work we are taking a pair of IRphotodiode where IR is use for transmitting
purpose and photodiode in receiving purpose.
Its range is 10-15cm but we can also increase
the range by using ultrasonic sensors instead
of IR-photodiode pair. Now in the second case
when accident have taken place, we are using
two sensors i.e smoke and glass breakage
which detect that accident is occur and inform
the microcontroller so proceed further. For
glass breakage sensor we are making a path in
glass through thin wires and if glass will break
then path will also break as it is open circuit so
it sense the breakage of glass. And second is
smoke sensor which senses the smoke that is
produced due to fire in the vehicle. In our
work we are taking continuous reading of
smoke present around the vehicle so for this
purpose we have to use ADC as it converts
analog output of smoke sensor into digital.
So when we get positive
output from the sensors, microcontroller on the
buzzer which alarm the people around the
accident spot and also send a signal to GSM
module which generate the call to the numbers
that saved in it already and message that is
saved in APR will use and listen at the
receivers phone. All the messages like calling,
detect accident or message in APR is displayed
in our project through LCD( liquid crystal
display). All the components of our project
need power for operation so are using a 5V
power supply and also in our project we are
demonstrating our project through four
wheeler base so to connect or drive our base
with the microcontroller there is a motor
driver used in this.

Flow Chart:
The Flow Chart of the system is shown in the
figure 2. It shows the system is initialized on
power ON. When the system is detected to be
abnormal, it is confirmed that the accident has
occurred. The vibration/acceleration of the
vehicle is detected to confirm the cause of the
accident. As soon as the accident is detected
the buzzer (alarm) is ON. The switch is
scanned first; if it is a minor accident then the
switch is ON so that messaging is terminated.
If it is a major accident, the switch remains
OFF and the message is sent automatically to
the rescue team after the location is detected
by the GPS. stations number).

EXPERIMENTATIONS
RESULTS:

AND

Figure 3 shows the prototypic model of the

vehicle enabled with RF module, Alcohol
sensor, GSM, GPS and Seat belt detector.
Figure 5 and 6 shows the alcohol level
indication and the seat belt off indication.

CONCLUSION:
This study solves the issues like automatic
speed control mechanism, accident detection
and information sending. From this we
conclude that this system will reduce the
accidents and save the human lives. On the
whole this system proves to be very cost
effective and efficient. The experimentations
and results prove that the system is easily
implementable in real time. This system can
also be extended by inducing automation
concepts like automatic driverless vehicle
system, inter vehicular communication etc.
