IoT-based Smart Helmet for Public Safety System
Keywords:
Accident, Alcohol sensor, ESP processor, IoT, RF receiver, Smoke sensorAbstract
The smart helmet system is an IoT-based concept that makes riding a bike much safer than before. The objective of the project is to stop the rider from riding the vehicle if he is not wearing a helmet or consuming alcohol. In addition to stopping the rider from starting the vehicle, it also notifies specific people via SMS about the passenger’s alcohol consumption through the IFTTT applet service. This smart helmet system is divided into two sections—the transmitter section on the helmet part and the receiver section on the bike part. The alcohol sensor and helmet sensor (i.e. limit switch) are attached to the helmet module and the Node MCU ESP8266 processor module is connected to the bike. The RF transmitter in the transmitter section is used to transfer the sensor signals to the receiver section. The RF receiver collects the transmitted signal and gives the signal to the processor. The processor decides the ignition of the engine depending on the signals received.
