GSM-GPS Enabled Fire Detection & Alert System for Vehicles

Description:

The GSM-GPS Enabled Fire Detection & Alert System for Vehicles is a smart 40 × 50 cm student working model that demonstrates an emergency alert system for vehicles in case of fire. Built on foam board or sun board, this project uses a combination of flame detection and communication modules to detect fire and send an instant SMS alert with the vehicle’s live location.

When the flame sensor detects fire inside or around the vehicle, the Arduino UNO microcontroller immediately activates:

• A buzzer for sound alert
• An LCD display with I2C to show “Fire Detected”
• A servo motor to simulate safety action (like shutting a fuel valve or opening a door)
• The GSM module sends a message to a pre-set mobile number
• The GPS module provides live coordinates in the SMS
• The DVD motors and BO wheels represent vehicle movement, which can be halted during the fire simulation
• A push button is included to reset or manually control the system

This project is ideal for science exhibitions, road safety awareness campaigns, and showcasing IoT-based emergency solutions.

🧰 Materials Used:

• Foam board / Sun board – project base (40 × 50 cm)
• Arduino UNO Microcontroller – brain of the system
• LCD Display with I2C – shows alerts/messages
• Flame Sensor – detects fire
• GSM Module – sends emergency SMS alert
• GPS Module – provides real-time location
• Servo Motor – simulates safety action
• DVD Motors & BO Wheels – simulate vehicle movement
• Power Distribution Board – manages power supply
• Jumper Wires – for circuit connections
• Push Button – for reset/manual trigger
• Buzzer – audio alert

⚙️ How It Works (Working Principle):

1. The flame sensor monitors for fire or heat inside the vehicle.
2. Upon fire detection:
   • Buzzer alerts nearby people
   • LCD displays a warning
   • Servo motor acts for safety response
   • GSM module sends an SMS with a GPS-based live location
   • Vehicle simulation motors may stop
3. The push button allows for manual reset or testing.

✅ Features:

• Real-time fire detection
