Abstract
Accidents will mainly occur when the individual or group of people get distracted from driving. Distraction together with carelessness of the rider is considered as one of the major causes for accidents. In spite of having strict laws that mandates motorcycle riders to wear helmets and not consume alcohol before driving, where riders do not follow it. In order to overcome this problem, this research work proposes an intelligent system called the “Smart helmet”. The presence of the helmet and alcohol detection data has been analyzed on smart phone by making it a smart device. The proposed system is designed in such a way that, only when the conditions are satisfied, the bike will get started. This will safeguard the rider in wearing the helmet strictly and also it will refrain from driving, when the rider has consumed alcohol. During the bike ride, if any accident occurs then the GSM system detects and intimates the relatives and/or friends by sending the geographical location of rider via SMS.
