Road accidents are one of the biggest concerns leading to loss of life. Road accident injuries are predictable and preventable, but it is important to understand the ways in which road safety interventions and technology can be used to prevent or may be completely wash out this curse. One of the major factors for this is over speeding. This paper talks about how introducing IoT devices in automobiles and accident prone areas helps reduce the risk of accidents. Our proposal works by sensing the automobiles in accident prone areas based on its current location, checking for its speed and notifying the driver about what needs to be done. In cases of accidents, notifications are sent to the automobiles nearby informing them about it, while distress signals are sent to the nearest police station and hospital for immediate help. The idea would also be useful in many other applications such as alerting the concerned in the event of an accident, thus helping in immediate response from emergency services.
