Abstract

Traffic accidents in Indonesia have been increasing every year. To address and minimize the high number of traffic accidents, especially involving two-wheeled vehicles, a device is needed to warn drivers when an accident is about to occur. The purpose of this study is to develop an accident detection device utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology by observing the angle of inclination and vibration values of two-wheeled vehicles. The research method used is R&D Research and Development, which follows the Borg and Gall development model. This model includes: 1) Literature review, 2) Planning, 3) Design creation, 4) Limited testing, 5) Revision, 6) Testing and feasibility testing, 7) Final revision, and 8) Dissemination and implementation. The research results explain that to measure vehicle vibration values, the SW-420 sensor was used with vibration values determined by the researcher at 2,000 Hz, 10,000 Hz, 30,000 Hz, and 40,000 Hz. For measuring the tilt angle of the vehicle, the GY 521 MPU-6050 sensor was used with tilt angle values determined by the researcher at 10°, 30°, 45°, and 50°. In conclusion, the accident detection device operates normally under normal vehicle conditions, and the vehicle tilt angle range remains between 10° and 30°. Under normal vehicle conditions, the vibration sensor on the vehicle does not fall within the range of 6.016–8.120. Meanwhile, the accident detection device will immediately activate and send an automatic message via WhatsApp to the user when the vehicle's tilt angle is between 45° and 50°, indicating that the vehicle has fallen. Regarding vibration values, the accident detection device will send an automatic message via the user's WhatsApp when the vibration range is between 10,558 and 60,850, indicating that the vehicle has fallen.
