BIKE RIDER SAFETY SYSTEM USING STM 32 MICROCONTROLLER

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of an innovative safety jacket designed for horse riders, high-altitude workers, and particularly two- wheeler riders to mitigate the impact of accidents and enhance life-saving measures. Given the high incidence of road accidents in India, with 499,628 reported in 2010 leading to 134,513 fatalities and over 500,000 injuries, the need for improved safety mechanisms is critical. The proposed safety jacket integrates a micro controller-based system to detect falls and trigger an emergency response, inflating air cushions around the jacket to cushion impacts. Additionally, the system incorporates an alcohol sensor and a helmet detection sensor to ensure the bike starts only if the rider is sober and wearing a helmet. Visibility issues for riders are also addressed, with the jacket featuring turn indicators and other visibility enhancements to alert other road users. The jacket is designed to be water-resistant and washable, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. The Bike Rider Safety System (BRSS) further enhances safety through real-time monitoring and adaptive response to potential hazards, using accelerometer, gyroscopes, and proximity sensors. The Arduino-based system comprises four main functionalities: helmet and alcohol detection, accident detection, airbag deployment, and live location transmission to authorities. In summary, the smart jacket aims to significantly reduce the risks faced by riders by incorporating advanced technology and a robust design to ensure their safety on the road.
