Abstract—This Due to rise in deaths after accidents, due to negligence, it is necessary to generate a system to limit accidental deaths. This system has following features:A smart helmet is a special idea which makes motorcycle driving much safer than the existing system i.e helmet . This is implemented using Microcontroller. The working of this smart helmet using Microcontroller is very simple, here we place the vibration sensors in different places of helmet where the probability of hitting is more which are connected to Microcontroller. So when the rider crashes and the helmet hits the ground, the sensors sense and the Microcontroller extract data using the GSM module that is interfaced with Microcontroller. When the data exceeds minimum stress limit then GSM module automatically send message to ambulance or police or family members.

I. INTRODUCTIONDue to rise in deaths after accidents, due to negligence, it is necessary to generate a system to limit accidental deaths. This system has following features:A smart helmet is a special idea which makes motorcycle driving much safer than the existing system i.e helmet . This is implemented using Microcontroller. The working of this smart helmet using Microcontroller is very simple, here we place the vibration sensors in different places of helmet where the probability of hitting is more which are connected to Microcontroller. So when the rider crashes and the helmet hits the ground, the sensors sense and the Microcontroller extract data using the GSM module that is interfaced with Microcontroller. When the data exceeds minimum stress limit then GSM module automatically send message to ambulance or police or family members.

IV. METHODOLOGY The idea of this project is to give information about the accident to the ambulance and family members, so we

have chose GSM technology to give the information by sending SMS. We are using GSM module which has SIM card slot to place the SIM and send SMS. Sending SMS alone can’t help the driver, if we send and an SMS saying that accident had occurred where the

ambulance will come without knowing the location of the accident. This is the methodology used in the project, let me once again give a brief description about the working of

project, The vibration sensor is placed in the helmet such that it detects vibrations of the helmet. When the rider crashes, the helmet hits the ground and the vibration sensor detects the vibrations that are created

when the helmet hits the ground and then the Microcontroller will send an SMS containing information about the accident and location of accident.

V. CONCLUSIONThis project has a good real life scope, if it is implemented by the government. It can help to reduce lot of road accidents of two wheelers as it is the major cause of deaths in the whole world. It can also help to prevent the damage occurred to the vehicles by the accidents. So this helps in curbing the road accidents by implementing mandatory Helmet protection and detection of alcohol content during the starting on of the bike. This project here is undertaken keeping in view of traffic ,the traffic rules and also the safety of people. Implementation of this type of project by the government saves a lot of time for the traffic police and most importantly saves the precious life of a person as one cannot run a motor vehicle once he is drunk and if the helmet is not present. Family members will be informed as well.
