IOT Based Smart Helmet for Construction Workers

Day by day the death rate of the construction workers at the construction site is increasing. But still there are no such remedies to reduce this fatality rate. To provide continuous monitoring of the workers and to prevent them from any health hazards during working, this system proposes a smart flexible helmet for the construction workers to provide security and rescue measures in case of any emergency conditions. The proposed system describes a smart inexpensive helmet for the construction workers made up of chromium embedded with Accelerometer and Gyroscope sensor. The Gyroscope sensor is used to indicate the rotation and orientation of the person with respect to gravity whereas the Accelerometer sensor is used to measure the linear acceleration or motion of the worker. Both these sensors are used for fall detection that may result from drowsiness, fatigue, etc. The helmet monitors the physical conditions of the construction workers and sends notification to the Contractor via the Mobile.
