Smart Helmet for Alcohol and Drowsiness Detection

Abstract

Motorbike riders' safety on the road is a serious concern. This intelligent helmet system enhances riders' safety with real-time drowsiness detection and alert. It features an IR sensor for drowsiness detection and a vibration motor for alerting the rider. An alcohol sensor verifies sobriety before riding, and a camera module with a Raspberry Pi 5 verifies helmet wearing. The Arduino Uno captures helmet status, alcohol content, and GPS information and transmits it to the Raspberry Pi through Bluetooth. The Raspberry Pi analyzes this information and sends alerts through the internet when required. The system also keeps the motorcycle from running unless the rider is wearing a helmet, imposing safety protocols. Through the incorporation of these safeguards, this system seeks to minimize accidents and deaths, encouraging safer riding practices. Such technology can significantly enhance road safety and minimize motorcycle-related accidents globally.
