ACCIDENT DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION USING AWS

Abstract

Road accidents are one of the leading causes of death globally, especially in developing countries where response times are slow due to late or no communication. The “Accident Detection and Notification Using AWS” project aims to build an automated and intelligent system that detects vehicular accidents in real time and immediately notifies emergency services and registered contacts using AWS cloud infrastructure. The system utilizes sensors like accelerometers, GPS, and gyroscopes connected to an IoT device or mobile app. Upon detecting sudden impact or abnormal motion, the system sends location details and alerts to the AWS cloud, which processes and dispatches notifications via AWS services such as Lambda, SNS (Simple Notification Service), and DynamoDB. This project can significantly reduce emergency response time, save lives, and enable smarter traffic monitoring systems using scalable and serverless cloud technology.
