Abstract

2-wheeler road accidents are increasing as every year; around 50,000 people lose their lives in the fatal road accidents. This project focuses on the safety of 2-wheeler riders, through locking the engine when the driver is not wearing the helmet using the Radio Frequency technology. The studies have shown the severity of injuries is highly reduced when the driver is wearing the helmet. This project will help the government with its initiative towards road safety and a safer society for everyone. The government surveys conducted by the ministry of transport say, 1214 road crashes occur every day in India among which two-wheelers account for 25% of total road crash deaths. The smart helmet uses Radio Frequency Identification technology, to ensure that the driver is wearing the helmet. In case the driver is not wearing the helmet the R.F transmitter installed in the Smart Helmet will not send the signal to the R.F receiver installed in the vehicle, and thus the vehicle will not start. The R.F technology is cheap and inexpensive and easy to install in the 2 wheelers and helmets which makes our project economical and cost-efficient. Including the radio frequency transmitter and receiver can be done cost-efficiently and doesn’t raise the cost of helmets with any significant margin.
