IoT-Based Smart Helmet

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.
