With vehicles becoming increasingly affordable, there has been a surge in the number of vehicles on the roads on an average all over the world. The swift development of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier nowadays. The initiation of technology has likewise increased the traffic hazards and road accidents take place regularly, which causes massive loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities. Accidents bring devastation upon victims, causing the loss of precious time and money. It has been established, after extensive research, that a majority of accidents become fatalities because of a lack of communication to the concerned medical authorities and the conse- quent lack of immediate medical support. An accelerometer can be used in this research as a rollover or crash detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. Likewise, the vibration sensor can be used in research in order to check the vibration rates of any car. By monitoring the information from the accelerometer and the vibration sensor, a severe ac- cident can be recognized. It then sends the alert message through the GSM Module, including the latitude and longitude data provided by the GPS module, to the police control room, any rescue team, or to the car owners. So, the police can immediately trace the location where the accident has occurred and necessary action can be taken after receiving the emergency message. This system can prove to be a lifesaver in isolated areas where an accident has occurred and no one is around in order to report the accident. Through this system, an accident can be detected and a life can be saved by the quick response from the emergency services.
