Abstract

The prevalence of motorcycle accidents and the dire consequences of inadequate helmet usage underscore the imperative need for innovative safety measures. This research explores the development and integration of a Smart Helmet Ignition System, aiming to revolutionize motorcycle safety through technology-driven solutions. The proposed design comprises two modules: the Helmet module and the Bike module, intricately designed to ensure rider safety by enforcing proper helmet usage before motorcycle ignition. The Helmet Unit incorporates HC-SR04 sensor, microcontrollers (ESP32), and weight sensor (load cell), functioning collectively to authenticate the presence, correct placement, and secure wear of the helmet by the rider and passenger. Conversely, the Bike unit, interconnected with the Helmet unit via Bluetooth, manages the motorcycle’s ignition system. It awaits confirmation signals from the Helmet Unit, allowing the engine to start only upon verification of proper helmet usage. This paper delves into the technical intricacies of each module, detailing the functionality of individual components and their integration into a cohesive system. It explores the efficacy and reliability of sensor-based authentication, microcontroller functionalities, and the seamless interconnectivity between the Helmet and Bike Modules.
