Abstract
The development of a transportation system has been the generative power for human beings to have the highest civilization above creatures in the earth. Automobile has a great importance in our daily life. We utilize it to go to our work place, keep in touch with our friends and family, and deliver our goods. But it can also bring disaster to us and even can kill us through accidents.Speed is one of the most important and basic risk factors in driving. It not only affects the severity of a crash, but also increases risk of being involved in a crash. Despite many efforts taken by different governmental and non-governmental organizations all around the world by various programs to aware against careless driving, yet accidents are taking place every now and then. However, many lives could have been saved if the emergency service could get the crashinformation in time. As such, efficient automatic accident detection with an automatic notification to the emergency service with the accident location is a prime need to save the precious human life. This paper proposes to utilize the capability of a GPS receiver and accelerometer to monitor the location of the vehicle and detect an accident basing on the tilt and send the location and time of the accident from the GPS data processed by a microcontroller by using the GSM network to the Police control room
