A Smart Helmet Using GSM and GPS Technology

Abstract

The usage of a smart helmet, a sort of protective headgear, increases the rider's level of safety when operating a motorcycle. India, the world's second-most populous nation, has a sizable young population. Today's youth like riding bikes, and due to fashion, they often choose not to wear helmets. Due to them, the number of fatal bike accidents is rising daily. Head injuries are a major cause of fatalities and can be avoided by using a helmet. More incidents of drunk driving are occurring, which leads to accidents and death by negligence when an accident happens. These occurrences inspired us to create a smart helmet using the internet of things that has the following features: the bike only starts if the rider is wearing a helmet, and the ignition will immediately shut off if the rider is too inebriated. If an accident happens, a GSM modem will use a sim card to send a message to the registered contact number. When a rider gets sleepy, the bike slows down and signals the rider.
