Now day’s automobile have become an integral part of our daily lives. In India, the number of vehicles have grown exponentially, making people lives easier and better. However, the number of highway coincidences have also kept in pace with this number. According to WHO, India suffered from the highest number of accidents in 2016, the country recorded at least 4,80,652 accidents, leading to 1,50,785 deaths. Automobile and computing technologies are creating new level of data services in vehicles. The Automobile Black Box has tasks alike to an aeroplane black box. It is used to analyse the cause of vehicular accidents and prevents the loss of life and property arising from vehicle accidents. The system involves enhancement of security by preventing tampering of the Black Box data. In addition, the Black Box sends an alert message to pre-stored number via Short Message Service (SMS) in the case of occurrence of an accident. The proposed system makes use of sensors to record the various driving data parameters. The PIC microcontroller is used to regulate these sensors. The system uses Global Positioning System (GPS) to collect the location data. In it we used the speed sensors to detect the speed of vehicle during the accident.
