Smart Shield – Accident Detection and Alert System

Abstract

As per the estimation of WHO, nearly 1.3 million people die in road accidents manually, often due to delayed rescue efforts and inadequate communication with authorities. To address this critical issue and reduce fatalities, we propose an innovative accident detection system. Utilizing sensors, GPS, and GSM technologies, this system promptly identifies road accidents and dispatches emergency alerts to nearby hospitals, police, and designated contacts of the user. By providing real-time information on accident location and severity, it facilitates swift medical response, potentially saving lives. Additionally, users can cancel false alarms or request further assistance as needed, enhancing the system's effectiveness in crisis situations.
