Abstract: An IoT-based smart helmet enhances rider safety through intelligent monitoring and real-time communication. The system integrates multiple sensors to detect helmet usage, sudden impact, and abnormal motion during accidents. A microcontroller continuously processes sensor data to identify crash conditions using predefined thresholds. When an accident is detected, the device automatically triggers an emergency alert. GPS technology determines the precise location of the rider in real time. The location details are transmitted through IoT communication modules to predefined emergency contacts. The system can also notify nearby medical services for faster assistance. An alcohol detection sensor prevents vehicle ignition when intoxication is identified. A helmet-wearing detection mechanism ensures safety compliance before vehicle operation. A GSM module enables reliable communication even in remote areas. Real-time monitoring improves rider accountability and reduces unsafe riding behavior. The compact hardware design ensures portability and ease of integration. Low power consumption supports long-duration operation. The solution aims to reduce accident-related fatalities by minimizing emergency response time. This smart helmet offers a cost-effective and scalable approach for improving road safety.
