Automatic Alcohol Sensing and Vehicle Accident Detection System using GPS and GSM

Saving lives is a never-ending mission to help others. Individuals suffer because of accidents, and some people die because of them. In those circumstances, the accident-prone sufferers thrive on support and assistance. Emergency services have yet to be controlled and alerted at the appropriate moment when an accident occurs, thus they must be informed. When people use the alert system to warn their loved ones, it can save lives and support them in every way imaginable. This Accident Detection System recognizes the occurrence of an accident based on a variety of inputs, such as a vibration sensor detecting any shaking on the vehicle, indicating that it has been struck by an external object. When the car is tilted through certain angles from its original location on the ground, the accelerometer sensor senses it. The main reason for many of the accidents is that the drivers are under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. The detection of alcohol aids in substantially lowering these figures, thus saving many lives. Through the GSM Module, the alert system sends a message indicating that the vehicle has been involved in an accident, together with the GPS coordinates of the area. If a photo of the surroundings is sent, the accident place can be easily found. The camera module sends a photo of the accident’s surroundings.

I. Introduction

The Internet is a massive global network of connected servers, computers, tablets, and smartphones that follows standard protocols for connected systems. It allows data to be sent, received, or communicated, as well as connected to remote servers, cloud, and analytics systems. The terms Internet, Things, and Internet of Things have different definitions. In English, the word "thing" has a variety of meanings and applications. When one does not want to be precise, the word "thing" is used to refer to a physical object, an action or idea, a situation, or an activity, according to a dictionary. An umbrella is a handy item on rainy days, as an example of a reference to an object. A streetlight is also known as a thing. Such a thing was not expected of him, as an example of a reference to action. Such things were plentiful in that era, as an example of a situational reference. As a result of integrating the two words, the IoT can be defined as follows: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical things (objects) that send, receive, or communicate information using the Internet or other communication technologies and networks in the same way that computers, tablets, and mobile phones do, allowing for the monitoring, coordinating, and controlling of processes across the Internet or other data networks. According to a survey undertaken by the Ministry of Transport and Highways, a substantial proportion of accidents are caused by drivers who are speeding or who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These facts emphasize the seriousness of the situation and the significant responsibility that vehicle drivers bear in causing traffic accidents. The preventative element entails turning off the car if the driver is determined to be under the influence of alcohol, as well as tracking the condition of the road using an accelerometer. When a vehicle is involved in a collision, a vibration sensor detects the signal and activates a buzzer that ticks a predetermined number of times. If the driver or any other individual has deactivated the buzzer, it means they have not been in a serious accident and are safe. If the buzzer does not go off within the specified time, the system sends a message to a nearby hospital, police station, mechanic, and victim’s relatives via the GSM module, which includes the location of the vehicle as tracked by GPS. The camera module is used to take a photograph of the surrounding area, which aids in taking the stated spot where the accident is detected.
