Abstract

The idea of vehicle accident detection is not new and the automotive companies have made lots of progress in perfecting that technology. Hitherto the same in motorcycles is lying dormant waiting to reach its peak. This paper is an attempt to contribute in that area of technology. Here we are trying to detect accident through three parameters-acceleration/ deceleration, tilt of the vehicle and the pressure change on the body of the vehicle. Using these minute data values and an apt algorithm, the accident can be detected with a reasonable success rate. And the coordinates of the vehicle found using GPS technology is send to the emergency services for help.
