Accident-alert-system

Components Needed:

• Arduino Uno
• GPS module (NEO 6M)
• Accelerometer (gy-61)
• GSM module (SIM900A)
• Buzzer(5V)
• Push button

Circuit Diagram:

Steps:

1. Set up the hardware

   • Connect components according to the circuit diagram above

2. Install required libraries

   • Open Arduino IDE
   • Go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library
   • Select TinyGPSPlus.zip (It is included in this repository. Just download it)

3. Upload the code

   • Copy the provided code into Arduino IDE
   • Modify the emergency contact number in the SendMessage() function
   • Upload the code to your Arduino board

4. Test the system

   • Power on the device
   • Simulate an accident by shaking the accelerometer
   • Verify that the buzzer sounds and an SMS alert is sent

How it works:

• The system continuously monitors accelerometer data
• If a sudden change in acceleration is detected:
  • The buzzer sounds for 10 seconds (can be cancelled by pressing the button)
  • GPS coordinates are obtained
  • An SMS alert with Google Maps link is sent to the predefined number

Customization:

Adjust sensitivity and devibrate variables to fine-tune crash detection

Note: This code includes some unused functions (like RecieveMessage()) that can be removed or utilized for future enhancements.
