Smart Helmet IOT Project

Smart Helmet
Research by Jay Nagar student of B.E
Abstract
This paper presents the smart helmet project that ensures that the rider
cannot start the bike without wearing it. This helmet uses simple cable
replacement for wirelessly switching on a bike, so that the bike would not
start without both the key and the helmet. The Smart helmet project totally
based on IOT Technology. That the project is in a primary stage and needs
further modifications to make transmitter-receiver interface more effective.
Problem:
ROAD traffic crashes take the lives of nearly 1.3 million every year and
injure 20-50 million more in the world. Refusal to use proper motorcycle
helmets is among the main factor contributing to deaths from road crashes -
WHO said this in its report on 'Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2010.
More disturbingly, a large number of deaths from road accidents are borne
by "vulnerable road users" such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
Around 13% of the victims from road-related deaths are pedestrians in India
as compared to 15% of accidents from passenger cars and taxis and 27%
from riders of motorized two-or-three wheelers. So if it can be made
mandatory to make the people wear the helmet when they ride the bike
then the rates of these accidents can be expected to fall. Worldwide most
governments have already made stringent laws regarding wearing the
helmet .But despite the laws such cases are still on a rise because of the
lack of proper implementation . Until now only the laws have been formed
but no technological work has been done in this regard. The helmet
described here once installed with any bike forces the rider to wear it while
riding so law or no law the biker will have to wear the helmet ensuring
his/her own safety .

Solution:
How to make it mandatory for people to wear helmets and comply by road
safety rules, posed a unique challenge to us. After a lot of brain storming,
we ended with ride-safe-or-no-ride idea. Our work involved experimenting
with sophisticated. So we described smart helmet in this paper is based on
one single idea i.e. to make it somehow mandatory to wear it while riding a
motorbike by the help of some technology. This helmet in practice acts as a
second key to the vehicle and in turn increases security. Moreover as the
rider can neither starts nor run the vehicle without wearing the helmet it
ensures that the rider has to wear the helmet at all times while riding the
vehicle. At the same time, as each helmet is unique to the receiver on board
the vehicle so there wont be any interference from usage of similar units
even at close range.
We have developed it using basic equipments available in the local market

but it can be developed commercially at an advanced level. It will be of help
to parents whose young children drive two wheelers as they can be assured
of their child's safety. We hope that our innovation inspires people to use
helmets and make their bike ride a safer experience and the project cost
comes to not more than Rs 1000, which means that making rides safer
won't be too heavy on your pocket too.
Working:
We have use of a FM receiver and transmitter system for develop this

Project. We have fitted the components at the helmet with a battery
operated transmitter system. The FM receiver module is installed near the
ignition coil on the bike, with a connection to the bike's battery and relay
system. When we wearing the helmet so the inside panel switch will be
pressed and signaling that the biker is ready for a ride. then The receiver
catch the signals that receiver on the bike, which in-turn sends signal to

relay system to ignite the ignition coil and the bike gears into action. We can
make their design much more effective, if we use sensor technology.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
I. About the Unit
The helmet is equipped with a chip that detects if it is worn by the biker or
not. The helmet comes with two modules one receiver and one transmitter.
The transmitter being embedded in the helmet itself and the receiver
module can be installed on any bike.
B. Block Diagram
C. Transmitter
In the transmitter circuit, a controlled transmitter transmits the pressure

signal sensed by the pressure transducer situated inside the helmet. A
comparator working as a simple single bit analog to digital converter feeds

logic level 1 to the input of the transmitter while the transducer gives an
output. When the user opens the helmet the output of transducer becomes
zero and the logic level 0 is fed to the transmitter input.
D. Receiver
In the receiver circuit the output pin gives a high level digital output till the
rider wears the helmet and this signal actuates a digital relay that
completes the ignition Unit circuit of the bike. When the rider takes off the
helmet the relay opens and the connection from the bike battery is severed.
CONCLUSIONS:
This helmet incorporates a very simple and cost effective technology, which
if implemented has the potential of drastically reducing fatalities in road
accidents due to negligence in not wearing a helmet.
Future Enhance:
We are planning to approach a few leading automobile companies for

further enhancing the mechanism. The system is also equipped with an anti
theft module that does not allow the bike to start without its original key
and the helmet linked to the sensor in its engine. The owner can also stop
the bike even after it is stolen by sending specific commands through his
mobile phone. Also as a future scope it can be combined with many existing
technologies to provide guidance and on road tracking facilities.
