Advancing Motorcycle Safety Through Helmet Detection and Accident Avoidance

Abstract

This work addresses the pervasive issue of road accidents in contemporary society, attributing them to factors such as rash and drunken driving, as well as non-compliance with traffic regulations. Proposing an innovative solution, this system operates as a cost-effective and user-friendly protection mechanism, ensuring that the rider can only operate their two-wheeler when both sober and wearing the helmet. In the event of a severe accident, the system autonomously notifies emergency contacts, expediting the delivery of critical aid and medical care. The primary goal of this system is to significantly reduce injuries sustained by two-wheeler riders in road accidents. This system also incorporates a password based unlock and ignition system which enhances the security of the vehicle. This comprehensive approach addresses not only the prevention of accidents but also emphasizes the swift response and care necessary to mitigate the adverse consequences of such incidents.

Specification

Description:In today's tech-driven era, smart helmets are undergoing a significant transformation, moving beyond their traditional role of head protection. This work explores the enhanced safety features of smart helmets, particularly focusing on three key areas: alcohol detection, real-time emergency communication, and promoting helmet use.
3. Methodology
The project begins by incorporating a sensor to detect the presence of a helmet on the rider's head. This sensor is intricately integrated with the vehicle's ignition system, ensuring that the vehicle cannot be started if the helmet is not detected. In addition to the helmet detection sensor, the project incorporates an alcohol detection system into the vehicle. This system, which utilizes an alcohol detection technology, is also directly linked to the ignition. If alcohol presence is detected, the system automatically disables the engine, effectively preventing impaired riding and reducing the risk of accidents caused by alcohol consumption.
A secure password system is integrated into the vehicle. Before starting the engine, riders are required to input the correct password, ensuring robust security and preventing unauthorized access to the vehicle.
Furthermore, a communication module is established using GSM technology. This module serves the purpose of dispatching a message to a predefined emergency number whenever alcohol presence is detected. This rapid communication mechanism ensures that appropriate emergency measures can be initiated promptly, potentially saving lives and minimizing the severity of accidents.
Lastly, the project integrates a Gyro sensor in the vehicle. These sensors are capable of detecting collisions, triggering an automatic emergency response. In the event of a collision, a message containing the vehicle's location is sent to a predetermined number. This feature facilitates swift emergency responses and enables timely assistance to riders involved in accidents.
, Claims: We claim
1. An innovative method that disables the motorcycle's engine if alcohol is detected on the rider's breath.
2. The above-mentioned method also incorporates GSM technology to send a location alert to a predefined contact if an accident occurs and prevents ignition of motorcycle unless a helmet is detected on the rider's head.
