ACCIDENT ALERT SYSTEM

The IoT is a rapidly increasing and promising technology which is becoming more and more present in our everyday lives. The IoT offers us countless and endless possibilities of automation for both government, public and private industries or sectors.Image processing is a technique in which existing image is altered or processed in a desired manner. It involves the alteration and analysis of pictorial information. We lose a many lives in road accidents often. The most familiar reasons are usually driver's mistake and emergency services reach the accident spot late. It is utmost important and necessary to develop an efficient accident prevention and detection system on roads which will monitor the driver's behaviour and alert him when he is distracted. This effective system can send the information about the accident including the accident location to emergency services. This will in turn prevent the loss of life as the emergency personnel can reach the accident spot on time.This paper aims to use the techniques of IoT and image processing in the field of transportation and health care by not just preventing the accident but also detecting the accident and alerting the emergency services.
