Abstract: The research paper is been developed in order to record informational data, such as engine, vehicle speed and its temperature, etc. to revolutionize the field of motor vehicle accident investigation. It can be also used for vehicle mapping and accident alert with the help of GPS and GSM technology. This paper is designed with the use of embedded systems. Embedded systems are playing important role in our lives every day, even though they might not necessarily be visible. An embedded system can be defined as a control system or computer system designed to perform a specific task and also be defined as a single purpose computer. Some of the embedded systems we use every day are menu control system on television, the timer in a microwave oven and so on with some amount of intelligence built-in. An embedded system contains at least one microprocessor which performs the logic operations for the system. Many embedded systems use one or more microcontrollers, in the type of microprocessor that emphasizes self-sufficiency and cost-effectiveness, instead of a generalpurpose microprocessor. A typical microcontroller contains sufficient memory and interfaces for simple applications. This device is used to identify that flow of information at the nearcrash situation the information so obtained are of immense use to diagnose the causes of impending accident that gives subtle information for a crime investigation. Also with the introduction of this novel designs there is an ample scope to distinguish the erring drivers from the rest. Presently the most manufacturers of automobiles have introduced a good number of safety devices and in conjunction with safety devices, this device articulated by the present researcher may complements the entire safety mechanism thoroughly. In India the introduction of this device in the novel and innovative attempt by the researcher
