AUTOMATED SAFETY SYSTEM FOR DRIVER AND PILLION RIDER IN TWO WHEELER AUTOMATED SAFETY SYSTEM FOR DRIVER AND PILLION RIDER IN TWO WHEELER

Abstract

Helmets play a vital role in safe guarding a driver;s and pillion riders life. Although the law enforces bike driver and pillion rider to wear a helmet, this advice is not taken seriously by many. This caution less mentality causes many deaths and our project tries to address the main issue of enforcing the driver and pillion rider to wear the helmet compulsorily, failing which the vehicle will not start. It also addresses several other issues related to safe bike riding. Our project uses an improvised helmet that uses sensors and switches which sends wireless status signals  to the  controller circuitry of the bike and the controller in turn actuates the ignition system of the bike which will be activated only if the driver and pillion rider wears the helmet and strap it properly, failing which the ignition system will not be actuated. The project also employs a pressure sensor to detect the presence of pillion-rider based on the pressure created by the combined weight of the driver and pillion rider . If a pillion-rider is present, the system makes sure he/she also wears a helmet. The helmet also incorporates an alcohol detector and if the rider has consumed alcohol, the system doesn't allow him/her to ride and thus drunken-drive can be stopped effectively. It also has a well-ventilated design that makes the biker feel more comfortable and our system also has measures to make sure that the driver  and the pillion rider always wears the helmet while riding the bike, by using a touch sensor which interfaces the skin or hair of a rider. The helmet is planned in such a way that, once it is worn and strapped properly, the user cannot use phones, which also is one of
