PREVIOUS AND
PROPOSED SYSTEM
 The main intention of this project is to find the
accident spot at any place and intimating it to
ambulance through the GPS and GSM networks
 Global system for mobiles (GSM) technology is
used to establish cellular connection.
 GPS is used to trace the position of the vehicle.
INTRODUCTION
CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
 Power supply and vibration sensor.
 Microcontroller.
 Liquid crystal display.
 Keyped and DB9 connector.
 DPDT relay.
 GPS module.
 GSM module.
POWER SUPPLY AND
VIBRATION SENSOR
 Power supply is a referance to a source of
electrical power.
 Linear Mode Power Supplying is used in
this system.
VIBRATION SENSOR
 The circuit is constructed with
 Pizoelectric plate.
 Operational amplifier
 555 IC Timer.
LCD
 Here the LCD is used
to display the status
and position of the
vehicle.
 The number to which
the position of the
vehicle is to be
delivered, also display
on the LCD such that changes can be
made if necessary.
DPDT RELAY
 The ‘DP’ means that
it is double pole, so
it switches both
side of the circuit.
 The ‘DT’ means that
rather than just
turning on and off, it switches from
one set of wires to another.
GPS MODULE
 GPS SYSTEM
27 Satellites
Orbit the Earth
twice a day
Equipped with an
atomic clock.
 The GPS module
ProGin SR-87 is
used.
GSM MODULE
 The GSM network is used to provide
communication from one place to another.
 The commands that are using to provide
communication are AT commands.
 The AT command specifies the GSM
technology that are related to SMS service.
TRACKING
TRACKING
OPERATION
 When an accident occurs, the piezoelectric
plate gives electrical signal to MC.
 MC switches GSM and GPS network by using
DPDT switch.
 GPS receiver takes latitude and longitude
through antenna.
 GSM transmitter sends this information to
control system.
IMPLEMENTATION
 The proposed system
can be implemented by
interconnecting the
system to the
automobile.
ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
Advantage Disadvantage
 Low cost solution for
automobile position and
status.
 Very useful in case of car
theft situation.
 The immediate
medication will be
provided to the accident
victims in remote areas.
 The biggest problem
blockage of signal
transmission by
mountains, high
building tunnels.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
 This can be developed
by interconnecting a
camera to the
controller module that
takes the photograph
of the accident spot
that makes the
tracking easier.
CONCLUSION
 To minimize the death and the severe
conditions due to accidents the GPS and
GSM technologies are used where the
immediate action would be take place by
the ambulance/police which might
reduces the severity.
