Intelligent Motorbike Helmets: Sensor-Driven Speed Regulation and Safety Enhancement for Motorcyclists

Smart Helmet for Safe Driving with Speed Restrictions is a concept chosen to boost the amount of road safety amongst motorcyclists. Several countries like India and Malaysia are imposing regulations to compulsorily wear helmets while driving motorcycles. The concept is obtained as the increasing number of deadly road accidents and deaths became a cause for concern among motorcyclists. Here, the Smart Helmet Mechanism consists of a Microcontroller, which is continuously monitoring the status of the various sensors connected to it. The sensors are used to observe whether the individual is wearing the helmet in the right manner. This entity requires two sensors. One is placed at the top of the helmet and the other is placed at the clip lock. The output of the two sensors will be further sent to the transmitter section and this transmitter section will further send output to the receiver section. The receiver section is interfaced to the microcontroller, and it is further attached to the motor of the vehicle. Depending upon the outputs, the transmitter sends information to the receiver where the microcontroller will provide speed restrictions. According to the AND Gate logic, if the microcontroller detects output as 1, then there will be no speed restrictions. But if the microcontroller detects output as 0, then it will limit the sneed to 25kmnh.
