Abstract More than one lakh people were dying in road accidents every year, that is more than the number of people dead in all our wars put together.. Even though there have been continuous awareness from the government authorities regarding helmets and seat belts a majority of the drivers do not heed them. In order to put an end to this mishap we have developed the skull helmet for bikes, a way to stop starting of vehicles without wearing helmet or even if the driver is boozed. In addition, it has a great feature of detecting accidents and informs specific people via SMS with location and speed of the bike before the accident occurs with the help of GPS, GSM based tracking system, thus aiding ambulance to reach the correct location. We have implemented all the sensors within the helmet, which will send the information to the module connected with the bike engine wirelessly. A display is provided to monitor the status. This perceptive bike helmet system has two units, one on the helmet and another one on the bike. Vibration sensor, Blink sensor ,third eye concept , Lily pad arduino and alcohol sensor are attached with the helmet module and Speed sensor, Co sensor

,Gray box ,GPS and GSM are connected with the module on

the bike that will display information on lcd . These two modules communicate wirelessly using RF transmitter and receiver with encoder and decoder, PIC16F877A is used as CPU. This is one of the most advanced electronics projects for engineering students.

Keywords Lilypad Arduino, Alcohol Sensor, Vibration Sensor, Gray Box, Co Sensor, Speed Sensor, Third Eye.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    A Road Traffic Accident (RTA) can be defined as, 'An incident that occurs on a way or street open to public traffic; resulting in one or more persons being injured or killed, where one or more moving vehicle is involved. Thus RTA is a crashing between vehicles; between vehicles and stroller; between vehicles and animals; or between vehicles and natural or artificial obstacles.' Road traffic accidents are a human tragedy. They involve high human agonize and socio economic costs in terms of premature deaths, injuries, loss of productivity, etc. [1]According to statistics serious head injuries can

    happen even in low speeds. Ninety five percent of head injury cases are due to road accidents, about 82 percent are youngsters in the age group of 18 to 40. At least two young men using two wheelers die every five minutes in India due to head injury. During 2013, a total of 8,98,885 road accidents were reported by all States/UTs .The proportion of fatal accidents in the total road accidents has consistently increased since 2002 from 18.1 to 24.4% in 2011. The severity of road accidents measured in terms of persons killed per 100 accidents has also increased from

    20.8 in 2002 to 28.6 in 2011. For a young Indian chance of being killed or disabled by road traffic injury is higher are provided. than Human Immunodeficiency Virus, heart stroke or breast cancer. Head injuries have acquired the status of a public health problem. These scenarios grabbed my interest over this paper in order to ensure safe bike riding.

    With large number of high powered bikes being launched in India, teaching riders about the need to follow traffic rules, riding within the speed limits as well as wearing proper riding gear is the need of the hour. With great power comes great sound. A great line, which is right , especially when you are driving a very robust vehicle on public roads. With more and more powerful cars and bikes being launched in India, the number of high speed crashes are also on the ascend. But this does not mean that we should stop such vehicles. In fact, it is up to us to use them sensibly. Most of the time, people blame quality of the vehicles for accidents. But the truth is, the driver / rider is at fault most of the time. If not you, then the person you crash with. Most of the time it is our error. Read on to find out about some of the recent high- powered crashes reported..

  2. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT To design the circuit that can improve the safety of rider/driver.

    To develop a Skull protective helmet for complete rider. To study and understand the concept of RF Transmitter and RF Receiver circuit in implementing the project.

  4. FLOW CHART AND REPRESENTATION

The initial step of project is it initializes all the port fig3 and next step is Accident Detection using vibration sensor if No crash then it will goes to third step. Third step is listening to RF Module Continuously for Data and Interprets Data using if conditions. Fourth step is check whether helmet is wear or not. If Helmet not wore then display Message Caution: Please wear the helmet. Next step is check the condition of drunk if rider is drunk display message "You are alcoholic" and then send the message to stored number with Location.. The sixth step, if accident detected, stop everything and send message location. The

seventh step, if rider closes his/her eyes the IR sensor senses it and gives a buzzer.

Fig3.It shows how the process is going in module.

5 COMPONENTS USED

5A.LILY PAD ARDUINO (Atmega328)

The lily pad arduino fig4 is a micro controller board designed for wearable's and e-textiles the board is based on the ATmega328p.

5B.Eye Blink Sensor

Blink sensor is IR based . The variation across the eye will vary as per eye blink . [3]If the eye is closed means the output is 1 otherwise output is 0 . This is to know the rider is attentive or not.. This output is given to logical circuit and indicate the buzzer.

5C.Alcohol Sensor

Alcohol Sensor detects ethanol content and send signal to Arduino.. It is MQ3 fig5 semiconductor alcohol sensor. It has good sensitivity and fast response to alcohol. It is suitable for makingBreathalyzer. TTL output valid signal is low(0).This Grove implements all the necessary circuitry for MQ3 like power conditioning and heater power supply. This sensor outputs a voltage inversely

proportional to the alcohol amount in air.

5E.Third Eye

The main difficulty with motorcycles is that the mirrors just do not[6] work very well.You have got a very small reflected image and, because of the position of the mirrors, mostly you are seeing your elbows.we fix a small mirror into motorcycle helmets. An adjustable arm lets riders place it just below or above their eye, in their peripheral vision. A back-facing mirror is placed for vivid vision .Once looking at the display gives the rider a wide view of the road rear of him. Although the screen is just next to the users face, optics make the eye into focusing at a more comfortable distance of around 2.5m. The screen is next to the users face, but the optics allow the eye to focus at a ease distance.
