Abstract
There has been increasing number of motor bike accidents reported during last few years, and rider’s negligence happens to be one major reason for the same. In this work, a smart helmet with features for the safety of the rider is proposed. Three major features are embedded in the present work such as avoidance of driving without helmet, avoidance of drunk and drive, and accident detection and intimation. A force-sensing resistor (FSR) is used for detecting the presence of helmet which controls the access to the vehicle. This feature is useful even to prevent motorcycles from being stolen. An alcohol detector placed within the helmet senses the limit of alcohol consumption by the rider and restricts the vehicle access in case limit exceeds. Accident intimation to the rescue department and to the family of the rider is the third feature in the proposed work. The hardware is built having all these features and is tested in a laboratory environment.
