摘要：The rate of road accidents and the number of casualties recorded in recent years in Nigeria are alarming. Many of these accidents happen in isolated areas and ditches making it difficult to rescue the victims in a quick and effective manner, to save lives. In this paper, a design and simulation of an IoT based accident information system is developed to detect the vehicle accidents and send the location information of the accident area via Short Message Service (SMS) to the ambulance service/Emergency Management Service (EMS) for quick and effective response to the accident victim. The system was developed mainly with a vibration sensor which detects the accident and a Global Positioning System (GSM) module for the determination of the coordinates of the vehicle in real-time and the communication between the web server and hardware device is established via GSM module. The system when simulated provided the accurate detection of accidents as well as their locations and was also able to communicate wirelessly the location coordinate to the EMS..
