SMART VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM

Abstract: A smart vehicle safety system is a combination of a smart helmet and a vehicle unit. The motive of this system is to ensure all the motorcycle riders should compulsorily wear helmet and obey traffic rule. A smart helmet is a type of protective headgear comprising of some technology used by the rider which makes bike driving safer than before. The main purpose of this helmet is to provide safety to the rider. This can be implemented by using advanced features like alcohol detection, helmet detection, location tracking and regular system data reports. This makes it not only a smart helmet but also a feature of a smart bike. It is compulsory to wear the helmet, without which the ignition switch cannot turn ON. An RF Module with an encoder and decoder unit can be used as a wireless link for communication between transmitter and receiver. If the rider is drunk the ignition gets automatically locked, and sends a message to the registered number with his current location. Similarly, if the rider is not wearing a helmet, then the ignition switch cannot turn on and again a message is sent to the registered number with the system location. Thus the distinctive feature of this system is that it ensures that the vehicle is being driven after taking all the necessary precautions.
