Dual-Helmet Ignition Lock
The core novelty. The vehicle's ignition will not start unless both the rider's and pillion's helmets are securely worn, confirmed by strap sensors and RF communication.
Integrated Alcohol Detection
An MQ-3 sensor embedded in the rider's helmet analyzes breath for alcohol. If the level exceeds the legal limit, the ignition remains locked, preventing drunk driving.
Automatic Accident Detection
Using an MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope, the system detects sudden impacts or extreme tilts, automatically identifying a potential crash.
Smoke Detection
An MQ-2 sensor is included to detect smoke, which could indicate a fire after an accident, providing another layer of critical safety information.
IoT Emergency Notification
Upon accident detection, the onboard GSM and GPS modules send an automated SMS alert with precise coordinates to emergency contacts, ensuring rapid response.
Wireless System Integration
The helmets communicate wirelessly with the vehicle unit via RF transmitters and receivers, creating a seamless and reliable connection without cumbersome wires.
System Components Architecture
The system consists of three primary hardware units that work together. Click on any of the components in the diagram below to see a detailed list of its internal technologies.
Rider Helmet
The primary control unit with advanced sensors and communication modules.
Pillion Helmet
Ensures pillion rider compliance.
Vehicle Unit
Receives signals and controls the ignition lock.
Applications & Societal Impact
This technology has far-reaching applications beyond individual safety, capable of influencing urban planning, law enforcement, and the insurance industry. Select a category to explore its potential.
Smart City Integration
Anonymized data on helmet compliance and accident locations can be fed into smart traffic systems. This helps city planners identify high-risk areas, optimize emergency service deployment, and create targeted road safety campaigns, making cities safer for everyone.
