Objective: Detect car accidents automatically and send emergency alerts.
Components: Arduino/ESP32, accelerometer (MPU6050), GPS module, GSM module, power supply, buzzer, LEDs.
Working Principle: Detect sudden acceleration or impact using the sensor.
Detection: When acceleration crosses a threshold → crash detected.
Process:
Measure acceleration continuously.
If crash occurs → get GPS location.
Send SMS alert via GSM to emergency contacts.
Alert Message: Includes accident alert + location coordinates.
Power Backup: Small battery to send alert even if car power fails.
Output Indicators: LED or buzzer to confirm system and alert status.
Testing: Simulate impact to verify alert transmission.
Future Upgrade: Add camera recording, AI detection, or IoT cloud link.tion
