DIY Smart Helmet with Alcohol, Drowsiness and Theft Detection Using Arduino Uno

Road accidents are a major global concern, especially involving two-wheeler riders. Many of these accidents are due to drunk driving, drowsiness, or not wearing a helmet. The IoT Based Smart Helmet aims to reduce these risks by integrating safety features directly into the helmet. This project incorporates alcohol detection, drowsiness detection, helmet wear detection, and theft detection to ensure the rider’s safety and enforce responsible riding behavior.

Working Principle

The system is designed to prevent the bike from starting unless all safety conditions are satisfied:
  • IR sensor detects if the helmet is worn.
  • MQ-3 sensor checks for alcohol in breath.
  • If alcohol is detected, buzzer sounds and vehicle stays off.
  • Drowsiness detection monitors rider’s alertness.
  • RF transmitter sends data from helmet to vehicle.
  • Vehicle starts only if all safety conditions are met.
