The number of vehicles on the highways increases every year. It is estimated that there are 1,400 billion vehicles on the road today. This number is increasing every day. The increasing number of vehicles has a high potential for traffic accidents. It is known that an average of 1.2 million people die in accidents worldwide every year. In 2020, there were 150,275 traffic accidents with deaths and injuries in Turkey. In case of traffic accidents, it is important to provide first aid in time after the accident. The location of the accident site determines the time in which the first aid service can be reached. The chance of survival of the injured depends on the timely presence of the first aid team at the scene of the accident. Although the first-aid service teams reached the scene of accidents within the settlement in a very short time, 47.4% of deaths occurred in the settlement in 2020. In the same year, the death rate in accidents outside the settlement was 52.6%. The loss of life is increasing because first aid cannot be provided in time due to the high percentage of accidents outside the settlement. It is difficult for the injured and unconscious victims to survive for a long time in traffic accidents on the highways outside the abandoned and cliffside settlements. With the developed software, in case of an accident, the vehicle status, license plate number and location information were sent via SMS to the 112 emergency number in Turkey. The embedded system was developed using an Arduino Mega microcontroller and a SIM808 module and the emergency call software was realized.
