Brief Description

This project is an Accident Detection System that uses GPS and GSM technology to enhance safety. When an accident or emergency is detected by pressing a button, the system captures the current GPS coordinates and automatically sends an SMS with the location details to a predefined contact number. This quick notification helps emergency responders or family members locate the person in need, potentially saving lives by enabling faster assistance.This Accident Detection System integrates GPS and GSM technologies to provide timely assistance during emergencies. When an accident occurs, simulated here by pressing a push button, the system captures the precise GPS location of the device. It then constructs a Google Maps link with the latitude and longitude and sends this information via SMS using the GSM module to a predefined emergency contact number. This automated alert system ensures that help can be dispatched quickly and accurately, improving the chances of rapid rescue and minimizing response time in critical situations. It is a practical solution for enhancing vehicle safety and emergency response.

Components Used:

Component	Purpose/Function
Arduino Nano	Main microcontroller to control the system
SIM900 GSM Module	Sends SMS messages with accident alerts
GPS Module (e.g., Neo-6M)	Provides real-time GPS location coordinates
Push Button	Simulates accident/emergency trigger
SoftwareSerial Library	Enables serial communication with SIM900 and GPS modules
Connecting Wires & Breadboard	For making circuit connections
Power Supply (5V)	Powers the Arduino Nano and modules

WORKING

The Accident Detection System is built around an Arduino Nano, connected to a GPS module and a GSM module. A push button is used to simulate an accident. When the button is pressed, the Arduino reads the GPS module's output and extracts the current latitude and longitude coordinates. These coordinates are then formatted into a Google Maps link. Using the SIM900 GSM module, the system sends an SMS containing this location and a short emergency message to a predefined mobile number. This enables immediate location tracking of the accident site, helping emergency contacts or services respond quickly and accurately.
