GSM GPS Based School Bus Tracking and Accident Detection

  • Unique Paper ID: 179551
  • PageNo: 6962-6967
  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the design and implementation of a real-time school bus tracking and accident detection system utilizing GPS and GSM modules. The system integrates an Arduino Nano, a NEO-6M GPS module, an ADXL345 accelerometer, and a SIMA7670C GSM module to ensure continuous monitoring of vehicle movement and automatic emergency notifications. When an accident or abnormal shock is detected, the system fetches the precise GPS coordinates and immediately sends an SMS alert and a voice call to pre-configured emergency contacts. Designed with affordability, power efficiency, and modularity in mind, this solution addresses critical issues of student safety, particularly in scenarios where monitoring is otherwise limited or delayed. Its future scope includes cloud integration, AI-driven analytics, and expansion into broader intelligent transportation networks.
