Abstract: Road accidents involving two-wheelers are a major concern due to the high risk of injuries, fuel leakage, and fire hazards when the vehicle remains operational after falling. This project presents a safety system that automatically switches off the engine of a two-wheeler when it detects that the vehicle has fallen or tilted beyond a safe angle. The system typically uses a tilt sensor or MEMS-based accelerometer integrated with a microcontroller. When the vehicle inclination exceeds a predefined threshold, the sensor sends a signal to the controller, which immediately cuts off the ignition or fuel supply, thereby stopping the engine. This prevents further mechanical damage, reduces the risk of fire accidents, and enhances rider safety. The proposed mechanism is low-cost, compact, and can be easily integrated into existing two-wheelers without major modifications. It also supports energy conservation by avoiding unnecessary fuel consumption after an accident. In addition to improving safety, the system contributes to sustainable transportation goals by reducing emissions caused by engine idling during accidents.
