Accidents are the deadliest among the current death rates of India. Inappropriate safety guidelines in a vehicle, rash driving, improperly maintained and lit roads, drug and alcohol abuse are the reasons for accidents. Adding on to the above, delay in the reporting time, delay of the rescue team to reach the site, increasing road to hospital time are the other factors. AID finds a solution to the above two. Accident Indication Device (A.I.D) is a post collision warning device installed in the vehicles. It concentrates on head on collision. It consists of an impact sensing unit and control unit and a GPS/GPRS system. Impact sensing unit consist of a piston-cylinder and relief valve arrangement. When the vehicle meets with an accident, impact sensing unit contracts. The electrical signals thus produced from the impact sensing unit is sensed by a control unit and the control unit sends emergency signals to nearby hospitals through GPS/GPRS module. The impact sensing unit will undergo deformation only beyond a particular stress value. Thus A.I.D will inform nearby hospitals about the accidents.
