Design and Implementation of Intelligent Head Protective Gear for Accident Detection and Notification

Abstract

The main aim of the paper is to safeguard the rider with a smart helmet without which the rider cannot start the bike. So the bike can be started only by using both key and smart helmet. This smart helmet technology consists of alcohol detection, accident detection, alert system and women’s safety. If accident occurs, the information will be send to the emergency contacts by using a GPS and GSM technology. Also, the bike’s location is tracked by employing GPS (Global Positioning System) and provide information to contacts by using GSM (Global System of Mobile) technology. Similarly, when the rider has consumed alcohol, the controller will automatically shut downs the bike’s ignition system and will not allow the rider to ride the bike. An emergency alert system could be used in case of emergencies like provocation and molestation. The women have to hold the button of helmet and whenever she clicks the button of the helmet, its ends alert messages to family members or nearby police stations. Another important feature is that, when the rider’s helmet strikes the floor, vibration sensor senses the possibility of hitting and gives information to regulator. When the numbers surpasses smallest stress limit, GSM module alerts ambulance or family members along with location using GPS module. This smart and intelligent helmet is implemented and tested to enhance the protection of riders.
