• Abstract: Road traffic accidents remain a critical global crisis, consistently serving as a primary driver of preventable mortality and severe injury. These incidents are frequently precipitated by human error, including overspeeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, and cognitive fatigue. To address this urgent public safety challenge, this paper presents an intelligent, Internet of Things (IoT)-based Accident Prevention and Detection System (APDS) designed to systematically mitigate driver risk and optimize post-collision emergency responses. The proposed framework features a multi-tiered architecture capable of executing continuous real-time telemetry monitoring, proactive local alarm triggering, and automated situational intervention. Furthermore, the system integrates automated emergency communication protocols that aggregate immediate spatial coordinates via GPS and dispatch targeted alerts to medical facilities in close proximity, thereby optimizing response times and reducing accident-related fatalities.
