I am currently working on project where an arduino device integrated with GSM and GPS module is integrated. This device is fixed in a vehicle ands when an accident occurs, this arduino has to detect the nearby arduino devices which has been fixed in other car and to intimate them about the accident before few metres. The doubt is how can we identify other devices which is located within hexagonal cell network and to intimate them as an alert message to their mobile device using arduino. Can anyone help with this issue?
Use the forum Google search function in the upper right of this page to search for GPS and GSM and similar key words. You will probably find many previous project discussions and code using these devices. There have been discussions on a similar car project not too long back.

How will this be different that two or more cars passing each other, or parking beside or near the other car car?

I would certainly turn that feature off. If it is off there is a much better chance of getting away with my indiscretions.

The hexagonal cell coverage is based on a theoretical design for flat, open terrain. In reality, the cell coverage is based on actual reception coverage in what ever environment the system encounters. There are probably blank segments from one tower that are filled in by segments from another tower.
All that is based on a single companies service. Each service will try to duplicate the other services coverage. If the OP is serious, they must pick a service and get a map of their service coverage. It is not UNIVERSAL!

Also, cell service never provides any end user with network management or control functions - for obvious security reasons. Thus, you can never know whether another device is using the same base station (tower). If you create client devices that have all of each other's information and location, you can just implement your own coverage map using GPS coordinates, it can be as big or small as you like.
