Abstract: In the present scenario, the rapid growth of technology has not only made our lives easier but the enormous growth of technology has also resulted in various traffic hazards and road accidents which has lead to a huge loss of life and property due to the various poor emergency facilities. India is one of the most accident-prone countries in the world with a record rate of more than 3 lakhs of road crashes every year. In such highly populated countries like India , everyday people lose their lives because of accidents and poor emergency facilities. These lives could be saved if medical facilities are provided at the right time. According to the literature survey we have found that there has been an increase of 4% in the total number of death rates caused by the road accidents during the period 2011-2014. As per the national crime records bureay (NCRB) in the year 2011 there were 440,123 road accidents resulting in the death of 136,834 people. This paper proposes a new dimension in order to allow early response and rescue of accident victims thereby saving the lives and properties. This system uses the capability of GPS and GSM along with the android phone for providing a solution which can be used to precisely detect the accident spot and to send the emergency notification to the nearby hospital’s ICU and to the victim’s relatives. This system can easily be fitted in the vehicle , its basic operation includes the vibration sensor which detects the accident and in turn sends the signal to arduino. The arduino then takes control and starts collecting the coordinates from GPS which are the sent to the emergency system by using the GSM module.
