Abstract
Road accidents remain a leading cause of fatalities worldwide, necessitating intelligent solutions to enhance
vehicle safety and accident prevention. This paper presents a Smart Vehicle Assistance and Accident
Prevention System that leverages Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) to minimize road
mishaps and assist drivers in real time. The system integrates sensor-based vehicle monitoring, computer
vision for object detection, driver behavior analysis, and predictive accident modeling to enhance situational
awareness. By continuously assessing environmental factors such as road conditions, traffic congestion and
driver fatigue, the proposed system provides real-time alerts and automated interventions to prevent potential
collisions. Additionally, an emergency response mechanism ensures immediate accident reporting to
authorities, reducing response time and improving survival chances. The research incorporates a deep
learning model trained on extensive accident datasets to predict high-risk scenarios, while an interactive
dashboard visualizes accident-prone areas and associated risk factors. Experimental results demonstrate the
system’s effectiveness in reducing accident probability and enhancing driver awareness. This study highlights
the potential of AI-driven vehicular safety and its impact on modern transportation, aiming to make roads
safer and more intelligent.
