Abstract

India has the largest road network of about 5.5 million km and a total of90% of India’s road traffic uses these roads for transportation. India also ranks inthe top place in road accidents count. An article states that “there is one deathevery four minutes due to a road accident in India. One of the major issuesin accidents is that it is not informed as soon as one takes place and on the otherhand as the incident is not informed to rescue units and the delay in medicalassistance is also an inevitable cause for loss of life.As a solution for this problem we have proposed an autonomous crashresponder device which is enabled with a fusion of sensors and will be able todetect if the vehicle is met with an accident. If accident occur then message with the exactlocation and the count of total passengers along with last detected force acted onthe vehicle will be sent via SMS to nearby rescue units, police station and thepersonal contacts. If drowsiness was detected the motor under the seat vibratethe driver to wake him up. Our device is also enabled with an alcohol sensor toprevent drunken driving and if the driver is found to be drunk an alert message swill be sent to preregistered numbers.

Key words: crash responder, location, force, number of passengers, alcoholsensor, eye-blink sensor.
