VAAT: Vehicle Accident Alert


Transmitter using Arduino, GPS,
and GSM Modules

Royeth A. Dorias
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology

Description
VAAT is an Arduino-based safety device designed to
automatically detect vehicle accidents and send real-time
emergency alerts through SMS. Using a vibration sensor, GPS
module, and GSM module, the system identifies a crash and
instantly transmits the vehicle’s coordinates to a predefined
contact number. It helps ensure faster emergency response
and improves driver safety, especially for motorcycles,
tricycles, and delivery riders in remote or rural areas.

Purpose
The purpose of VAAT is to provide a low-cost, automatic
emergency alert system that improves the safety of drivers
by notifying emergency contacts immediately after a
vehicular accident even if the driver is unconscious or unable to
call for help.

The VAAT system performs several automated functions to


detect accidents and respond efficiently without human
intervention:

 Accident Detection – Senses impact using a vibration


sensor to identify possible crashes.
 Location Tracking – Captures the exact GPS coordinates
of the vehicle after a crash.
 Emergency Alert – Sends an automated SMS with the
vehicle's location using a GSM module.
 False Alert Prevention – Includes a cancel button that
the driver can press within 5 seconds to stop the alert if it
was a false trigger.
 Buzzer Notification – Activates a buzzer to notify nearby
individuals when a crash is detected.

Target Users
The system is designed primarily for individuals and sectors
where road safety is critical and emergency response may
be delayed:

 Motorcycle and tricycle riders


 Delivery drivers and courier services
 Jeepney, habal-habal, or public utility vehicle
drivers
 Drivers in remote or rural areas with limited access to
emergency services
 Private car owners concerned about accident response
time
 Fleet operators who manage multiple vehicles (optional
future upgrade)

Platform

VAAT is built on the Arduino microcontroller platform,


known for its simplicity, flexibility, and support for hardware-
based automation projects. The platform enables real-time
sensor reading and communication with external modules like
GPS and GSM.

The system is implemented using:

 Arduino Uno – main microcontroller board for processing


logic
 Vibration Sensor – detects crash or impact
 GPS Module – retrieves vehicle location
 GSM Module – sends location via SMS
 C/C++ Programming Language using Arduino IDE
 Breadboard & Jumper Wires for circuit prototyping
 Mobile Network for SMS transmission
