Smart Helmet System for Human Safety using Arduino and RF Technology

The smart helmet project aims to provide a means and apparatus for preventing, detecting and reporting bike accidents. There are two sections such as helmet section and bike section. Each section uses radio frequency (RF) transmission and reception. The RF wave exists between the helmet and the bike. The helmet section consists of limit switch, gas sensor, RF transmitter. The bike section consists of RF receiver, vibration Sensor, GSM, GPS modules. The alcohol detection sensor assembled on the helmet will sense for alcohol consumption of the driver continuously for reducing the drunken drive accidents. When an accident occurs, the vibration sensor is triggered and thus the related details are sent to the emergency contacts using GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) module. The vehicle location is shared by GPS (Global Positioning System) module. This system promises a reliable and quick delivery of information regarding the accident in real time and updated to the emergency contacts immediately. Thus, by utilizing the ubiquitous connectivity which is a salient feature for the smart cities, a smart helmet and a smart bike is built.
