With the
increased use of motorcycles and bikes, there has been an alarming increase in
road accidents in various countries each year. Some countries are among the
most densely populated in the world, with roads and streets that are narrower
in comparison. Although the government makes sufficient rules and regulations
to prevent road accidents, the accident rate is increasing daily. Motorcycle
riders cause serious road accidents that result in fatalities while not wearing
helmets and riding motorcycles while intoxicated. However, wearing a helmet
significantly reduces the risk of an accident. This paper describes a highly
effective and technologically advanced Smart Helmet implementation based on the
Internet of Things. A smart helmet is a type of protective headgear used by the
rider which makes bike driving safer than before. The main purpose of this
helmet is to provide safety for the rider. This can be implemented by using
advanced features like front night vision object monitoring, rear blind Spot
monitoring accident identification, location tracking, fall detection, head
protection airbag. In case of an accident, it will send a message through GSM
along with location with the help of GPS module. The distinctive utility of the
project is fall detection; if the rider falls from the bike, it sends a
message.
