Abstract: The present invention relates to an Internet of Things (IoT)-based emergency alert system for road safety and accident detection. The system comprises a plurality of sensors including vibration sensors, accelerometer sensors, and tilt detection modules, a microcontroller, a Global Positioning System (GPS) module, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) module, a wireless communication unit, an emergency alert interface, and a power management circuit. The sensors are configured to monitor vehicle parameters including collision impact, abnormal vibration, sudden acceleration or deceleration, and vehicle tilt. The microcontroller processes the sensor data to identify potential accident conditions and initiates an emergency alert upon detecting a condition satisfying predefined detection criteria. The GPS module determines the geographical coordinates of the vehicle, and the GSM module or wireless communication unit transmits an emergency notification containing the location information to predefined emergency contacts or designated monitoring platforms. The system further facilitates remote monitoring and access to emergency information through a connected mobile device or monitoring interface. The proposed system enables automated accident detection, location-based emergency notification, and improved coordination of rescue operations, thereby supporting road safety and emergency response management. 5 Claims & 2 Figure.
