Abstract-The Car Accident Alert System (CAAS) is a groundbreaking initiative in the pursuit of zero traffic fatalities. It leverages advanced technology to establish a secure environment for drivers, envisioning a future where every drive is safer than the previous one. This system integrates Arduino components, sensors, and a mobile app to detect automobile accidents and promptly alert emergency services and family members. The essential elements of the CAAS include a gyroscope and car airbag sensors, which function in tandem to detect any sudden changes in the vehicle’s orientation and impact, indicative of a potential accident. In the event of an accident, the system sends an alarm signal to the Arduino Bluetooth module, which then transmits a distress message to a pre-connected mobile phone. The mobile app created for the CAAS is vital in facilitating Bluetooth data transfer, tracking the vehicle’s current GPS location, and sending messages to emergency services and family members, while also managing false detections. This app offers real-time updates and enables users to respond swiftly to emergencies, significantly reducing response times and potentially saving lives. The CAAS app prioritizes user-friendly design, ensuring a smooth and frictionless experience for drivers, maximizing critical response times.
