A large number of people die everyday in the world due to road accidents.Our project Smart Helmet is an effective approach made to solve this problem of road accidents, which makes the biker more safe. Limit switch which is placed inside the helmet will detect whether the rider has worn the helmet on bike or not. If the biker has worn the helmet the bike will start and if not the bike will not start. Smart helmet uses GSM and GPS technology and provides help in case of accident. Nowadays bike riders in our country are increasing due to which many causalities occur due to negligence of wearing helmet. Our project makes compulsory to wear the helmet. If the biker is met with an accident then a SMS along with the location is sent to family members and ambulance in order to rescue him. Our project also aims at intelligence security providing awareness for wearing helmet and also provides prevention for human life safety. There is craze for motorbikes in today’s young generation. Due to low prices middle class family prefer buying two wheelers rather than cars. As the two wheelers in our country are increasing, the road accidents are also increasing day by day, due to which many deaths occur, most of which occur due to most common negligence of not wearing a helmet. According to a survey of India, there are around 720 accidents occurring due to bike accidents per year. Not only accidents but also lack of proper treatment is another reason for deaths. In India out of the bike accidents deaths occurring annually, nearly half of the people die due to lack of treatment in proper time. The reasons for these deaths are late arrival of an ambulance, no person at the place of accident to call an ambulance etc. The objective of our work is that a bike rider must wear a helmet in order to start up his bike, otherwise the bike won’t start. It also gives information about the location of accident with the help of GSM module to family and friends through a SMS.But only sending an SMS won’t help the biker unless exact location of accident is also known. So as to know the location of an accident, we have used a GPS module which will send exact location of the accident through a SMS to family,friends or an ambulance using a microcontroller.
