Abstract - Many accidents occur on highways nowadays as
a result of increased traffic and also owing to aggressive
driving by drivers, and in many cases, family members,
ambulances, and police authorities are not notified in time.
As a result, the assistance provided to the accident victim is
delayed. This could result in death. Our project, Vehicle
Positioning System with GPS and GSM Modules is meant to
avoid such scenarios so that a person who has been in an
accident can receive immediate medical attention and be
saved. Theft prevention is another application of this
project. Here, an encryption module will be introduced to
give increased security against code cracking and theft, as
well as an alarm system. It's also aimed at finding the
dynamic live location of vehicles in. the cases of accidents
and vehicle theft. The whole scenario is implemented using
an arm controller.
Key Words: GSM and GPS modules, ARM controller
1. INTRODUCTION
Quick and easy transportation has become an
integral component of our daily lives. Many accidents
occur on highways as a result of increased traffic and rash
driving by vehicles, and in many cases, family members,
ambulances, and police authorities are not notified in a
timely manner. As we've noticed, vehicle theft is on the
rise these days, so we're introducing our project, which is
a theft control, accident detection, and vehicle locating
system. The manual process of calling an ambulance
causes delays in patient rescue and medication, we want
to make the process more efficient by implementing
automatic accident detection by using an accelerometer
sensor, which is used to detect the accident. In case if the
accident is not severe the system will discontinue the
process or else alert messages will be sent to family or
friends, nearby hospitals, and nearby police stations to
notify them as soon as an accident is detected. An
embedded system with a global positioning system and a
worldwide mobility system is used to develop effective
vehicle security for anti-theft. Through this technology, the
client communicates with automobiles and determines
their current location. When the appliance detects theft, it
will send a notification SMSt ot he owner, informing him of
the theft. This can be done using a fingerprint module.
Here we are using the fingerprint module because it
provides high security than keypad interface. Keypad
interface is a low-level encryption module so there may be
chances of increasing the vehicle theft if the key is
misused. In case the vehicle is theft by damaging the
fingerprint module, here comes into picture of vehicle
tracking system where the dynamic live location of the
vehicle is shared to the owner and the concerned police
authorities A GPS tracking system uses the Global
Positioning System(GPS), as well as microwave signals,to
determine the accuracy of a target's location and record its
location. After that, the data can be retained in memory,
which is known as a passive GPS tracking system, or it can
be broadcast and shown in real time, which is known as an
active GPS tracking system. When the owner requests the
location of the vehicle, a message via mobile phone will be
sent, and the response will be a message containing the
coordinates (longitude and latitude) of the vehicle using a
worldwide map. The above interaction is done by using
the GSM module.
1.1 methodology
Block diagram
The project comprises three features: accident
detection, theft control and vehicle positioning system. It
consists of an ARM controller (STM32), power supply,
accelerometer sensor, fingerprint module, buzzer, LCD
display, GPS and GSM modules. For accident detection this
technology uses an accelerometer sensor to detect
accidents. When the engine is running and the vehicle hits

the ground, the controller reads the accelerometer
inclination. The controller reads data from the
accelerometer sensor and triggers an alarm (buzzer)
based on the condition specified in the code. For example,
while riding the bike will be at a 90-degree angle to the
road; however, when the bike falls on the road, the angle
will be much less or much more than 90 degrees, causing
the angle to differ greatly. At that point, the controller
processes the data from the accelerometer sensor and
turns on the buzzer. If the motorcyclist is alright and the
injury isn't too serious, he will be supposed to turn off the
alarm, and the system will continue as normal. If the
results are bad, the controller will activate the GPS and
GSM module, and the exact location of the person who got
an accident will be sent to his family members, concerned
authorities like police officers, and ambulance services so
that they can arrive as soon as possible and there may be a
chance of saving his life by providing immediate medical
assistance which will be incorporated in the ambulance.
This is how the project's accident detection is achieved.
The project includes a fingerprint module, an alarm
(buzzer), GPS, and GSM module for theft control. When
unusual activity occurs in the surroundings of the vehicle,
the man who is trying to steal will be required to impress
his finger into the fingerprint module, where he will be
permitted five to six attempts. Obviously, he will fail in the
attempts, he will give up his plan to steal the vehicle;
however, if he continues to impress his finger, the
controller will activate an alarm, notifying both the user
and a nearby police station of the unusual activity,
allowing both to try to catch the thief and save the vehicle
from the robber. Or else if he damages the vehicle lock the
same action will take place mentioned above. In the worst-
case scenario, if the vehicle is snatched by the thief, the
vehicle positioning system will play a critical role,
providing users and police officers with the exact live
location of the vehicle through Google maps anytime they
need it, allowing them to quickly retrieve the vehicle.
1.2 Flowchart
Describing the above flow chart for accident
detection initially the system will be in normal state. if the
ignition is off this particular detection system doesn't
work, if the ignition is on the system continuously
monitors the accelerometer sensor once the threshold
exceeds and the pushbutton is not pressed the GPS
coordinates will be sent, else if the pushbutton is pressed
in case the GPS is requested GPS coordinates will be sent
or the system will return to its original state.
Accident detection
Theft control

Describing the flowchart for theft control initially
the system will be in normal state if the fingerprint
module accepts the fingerprint the system doesn't perform
any action or else if the operation fails, if the fingerprint
module is not ignited the SMS will be sent along with the
GPS coordinates.
3. CONCLUSIONS
When the user requests it, the GPS module will
send the vehicle's current location coordinates. If the user
is safe, then the alarm will be activated, and if he discard
the alarm, the SMS will not be sent to the appropriate
authorities; otherwise, the SMS will be sent to the rescue
team (Police authorities, Ambulance etc.) If the vehicle is
stolen, the owner should be notified via SMS or alarm and
also he can monitor the live location of his vehicle at any
time. By going through all these papers we came to know
that many of them have not integrated 3 features in one
project so we are going to develop all three features like
accident detection, theft control, vehicle positioning in the
single model, so that our project will provide higher end
security to the user and vehicle, also we have observed
that for theft control they have not included higher end
encryption module, so we are increasing the security of a
vehicle by implementing a fingerprint module in which
user can only access the vehicle, also in case of theft the
police will be notified regarding the vehicle theft so that
police can take action immediately.
