Abstract Road accidents are a burning social problem, which may lead to serious injuries and fatalities because of late emergency services. The current paper outlines an IoT-based Automatic Vehicle Accident Detection and Rescue System aimed at detecting the accidents immediately and warning the relevant authorities on the issue. In the system combination of sensors, such as vibration, MEMS (accelerator), ultrasonic, and temperature sensors are used to constantly check the conditions of the vehicle and identify abnormal situations, which most likely indicate a collision. When detected, Arduino microcontroller calculates sensor information and activates an alert protection. The GPS module calculates the geographical positioning of the location of the accident taking its exact geographical position and then transmits it through GSM/IoT communication to the emergency services and pre-registered contacts. There is instant local indication of a buzzer, and system status and alerts are represented on an LCD. To validate experimentally, motor drivers and DC motors are added in order to model vehicle movement. The system is connected with a stable battery power source, which guarantees efficiency in case of serious circumstances. This is a solution that is not expensive, can be scaled and is simple to deploy hence fit to be popular. The proposed system leads to higher chances of survival and better road safety as it makes the process of medical intervention fast and reduces the response time.
