Abstract: This paper proposes smart helmet for two wheeler riders. The smart helmet consists of two modules one is the helmet module and other one is engine module. The helmet module has inbuilt alcohol sensor, vibration sensor, a limit switch. These sensors communicate wirelessly with the two wheeler module of the two wheeler through RF transmitter. GPS and GSM system are kept closer to the engine. The engine module receives the information from helmet module through RF receiver. The spark plug is shorted to ground with the help of relay, which is connected to the controller. The relay senses and releases the spark plug from ground unless the signal comes from the controller. The proposed smart helmet doesn’t allow the vehicle to start unless the rider wears his/ her helmet. The proposed smart helmet also detects accidents and inform to the ambulance service through Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile communication (GSM). The smart helmet is developed and tested for various conditions such as two wheeler key not detected, Helmet not wore by the driver, alcohol is detected from the driver and when an accident occurs.
