Smart helmet system with accident safety gears and bike tracking mechanism using non IOT methods

Abstract

The road accidents across the world have been increasing every year. Due to this, safety of a rider has become a major concern. It is observed that bike accidents in south Asian countries are in majority as compared to other class of vehicles. Most of these bike accidents are due to rider’s negligence. The intension is to circumvent the negligence of the rider and fatal injuries. In this regard, the Arduino microcontroller system is developed which does not allow the rider to start the bike until the main rider and pillion rider wears the helmet. It is also necessary that the main rider is not drunk and is sober to start the bike which is detected in the helmet. In case of an occurrence of the bike accident, the concerned members of the rider and emergency services are notified with text message and real time location to avoid last minute casualties. If the rider exceeds the speed limit, audio warning alert will be given to the main rider through the speakers in the helmet. The provision for alternate method to start the bike is given to the rider in limited access to avoid misuse of the system in case the helmet is lost. The bike is made trackable in case of lost or not found.
