Abstract
• In case of an accident ,the Automatic Car Collision Notification system in the car
senses the collision , using the impact sensors placed in various parts of the car.
• If the passenger does not disable the alarm, the processing unit initiates an
emergency wireless call to an emergency service , to deliver the vehicle's GPS
location, crash-related data and opens a voice communications channel to the
emergency call center.
• The emergency service that will be notified in this project is EMRI (108 ambulance
service).
Introduction
• Research shows that a considerable number of the accident victims can be saved ,
if they receive immediate medical attention.
• Since, accident notification in our country is primarily relied on the assistance by

bystanders and onlookers, negligence by them due to the fear of reporting it to
police, may result in the death of the accident victim(s).
• So, automatic accident notification systems like ours , are required to solve this
problem. When our system is installed in the car, it reports the location to the EMRI
emergency service as soon as the accident occurs.
• The impact sensor (Load cells) in the car senses the collision, and if it is greater
than the threshold level , The microcontroller alarms the passengers.
Introduction
• If the passenger does not disable the alarm in time, the microcontroller gets the
location coordinates from the GPS and using the GSM module it sends the
coordinates to the EMRI emergency service.
• EMRI uses our information to dispatch the nearest available ambulance to the
accident spot.

Block Diagram Explanation
1. ATmega32 – Microcontroller :
• Atmega32 is a 8-bit microcontroller, 40 pin microcontroller and it has an on-chip
programmable flash memory of 32KB.
• It has 2KB SRAM, 1KB EEPROM, 8 Channel 10-bit A/D-converter.
2 . Global positioning system (GPS) :

• The GPS used in our project has a POT (patch on top) antenna for maximum sensitivity.
• It outputs the location as a 8 bit data to the MCU.
• Serial data communication is used.
• The output baud rate is 9600bps
Block Diagram Explanation
3. GSM(Global System for Mobile communication):
• GSM module used in our project is SIM300
• SIM300 is a tri-band GSM/GPRS device
• It is interfaced to the MCU via 60pin board to board connector.
4. Load Cell :
• Load cell is a transducer that converts force (or pressure) into a measurable electrical o/p.
• Single-point Load Cell CZL601is used in our system.
Circuit Diagram
Circuit Diagram Explanation:
• The Transistor T1 steps down the 230V AC to 15V AC and that it is further
rectified to 12V DC using IC 7812 and to a -12V DC using IC 7912.
• This supply is given to the Load cell via instrumentation amplifier,

instrumentation amplifier also receives a 5v DC from IC 7805 connected to
transformer T2.
• The transformer T2 steps down the 230V AC to 18V AC and it is rectified

to a 12V and 5V supplies using IC 7812 and IC 7805.
• The 12V supply is used as power source by the voice and GSM modules.
Circuit Diagram Explanation:
• The GPS and the microcontroller uses 5v power supply.
• The Tx and RX lines from the microcontroller are multiplexed (using a

relay) to support data transfer from(and to) GPS and GSM.
• By default, the Tx and Rx lines are connected to GPS and after fetching the
location coordinates , the relay switches over to GSM for the transmission
of coordinates to the EMRI.

Emergency service.
Comparing with the existing
systems :
• The systems that are in existence, involve high initial and annual cost, due
to their use of commercial emergency rescue systems.
• As our project uses EMRI (A free emergency rescue system),the customers

have to pay only for the initial hardware and installation costs
• They don’t have to spend any money on maintenance and annual

subscription costs.
Advantages and Applications
• Our system can be installed in all the four wheelers for automatic accident
notification.
• The advantages of our system includes, Zero annual subscription cost and
Low initial cost.
• Since, EMRI is available in majority of the Indian states, our system can be
used in other states as well.
Conclusion
• Automatic car collision notification is a life saving device that senses the
accident , when it occurs and reports it to the 108 emergency service
instantly with GPS coordinates and the number of passengers in the
vehicle
• The advantage of this system over the other existing system is that it is
cheaper and more reliable.
• In case of a minor accident user can also deactivate the alert and prevent
the information being sent to the Emergency service unnecessarily.
Scope For Improvement
• Since, 108 Emergency service is not available in all the states of our
country. The project can be developed further for supporting the local
emergency service of all the states.
• Based on the location of the vehicle, the device should contact the
respective service in case of an accident.
• Which would need a support for extensive database of all the emergency
services in the country and a more smarter device capable of parsing
through the extensive record and using the best possible emergency
service.
