Abstract

The increasing number of traffic accidents are dominated by motorcycle accidents, which also account for the highest portion of fatalities and major injuries. Careless driving and unruly behavior such unhealthy body condition or riding in sleepy conditions are the main causes of accidents in Indonesia. Facts prove that traffic accidents are one of the biggest causes of death in Indonesia. Based on those problem we want to made a system to detect a heart pulse for riders to know if they riding in a good condition or not. This control system using arduino nano R3 as a microcontroller. The device is places on helmet which using pulse sensor to detect the heart pulse on neck arteries, When a person’s pulse is detected in a drowsy/sleepy state, then the DC motor vibrator will vibrates in the fontanel (crown of head) and the buzzer sounds in the ear. The test results on the pulse detection system that was applied to the male rider’s helmet the average delay of the actuator was 4.3 seconds with a success percentage is about 98%. The average response delay of the actuator used by female riders is 4.5 seconds with a 96% success rate. From the results of the test, smart helmet system has run and work properly.
