Motorcycles provide efficient transportation but safety must be considered. The Motorcycle Helmet Act of 2009 requires riders and passengers to wear approved helmets. A smart helmet uses sensors to detect accidents and location to automatically call for help. It aims to reduce accidents by ensuring riders wear helmets before engines start and shutting engines off if riders are drunk. The smart helmet contains GPS, crash, and alcohol sensors to read data and enforce safety laws. Accident reports in Manila increased in 2018 and 2019, showing a need for better enforcement of helmet laws.

Introduction

Talking about efficient and convenient transportation, motorcycle is considered as one of


the most convenient way to travel. Other than efficiency a rider must also consider safety while
travelling.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has come out with a set of rules and regulations
for motorcycle use on highways, which many people seem to miss. The Motorcycle Helmet Act
of 2009, requires both the driver and the passenger to wear a DTI-approved (i.e., with an ICC
sticker) helmet when riding a motorcycle.
A smart helmet is a type of safety headgear worn by the rider that makes motorcycle
riding safer than it was before. It has different features such as crash detection (such as when a
rider falls on their motorcycle or finds an unexpected hole in the road), location tracking, use as
a hands-free device (meaning when the safety headgear detects an accident it will automatically
call for help such as ambulance or police).

Project Context
Motorcycles are fun to ride but accidents always get in the way, as a rider you are also
task to know what are the dangers when riding one. Motorcycle accidents tend to be more fatal
than car accidents because motorcyclist rides out in an open area. That is why set rules which
is the Motorcycle helmet act of 2009.

Types of Helmet
You can do it! Break a leg
The Problem
Despite of the fact that there is an act on wearing helmet there are riders that tends to
break rules and disregards the use of helmet when riding motorcycles. That is why accident rate
caused by motorcycle increases every year. According to the survey of Metropolitan Manila
Development Authority in 2018, a total of 116,906 motorcycle accidents were reported,
representing an increase of 6.25% from the year prior. In 2019, the total of reported motorcycle
accidents rose to 121,771, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.16%.
An Alternative
Since most motorcyclists are too lazy to bring or wear their helmet, the proponents
decided to create a smart helmet that will require motorcyclists to wear their helmet before they
can start their motorcycle. With the help of the Arduino.
Purpose and Description
The proposed projects involve development of an innovative safety gear that will reduce
the number of people killed in motorcycle accidents with the help of the sensors, such as an
alcohol sensor to track or detect if the driver is drunk or if the driver is under the influence of
liquor, crash collision sensor if the motorcyclist is involved in an accident and GSM module to
notify the registered guardian that the motorcyclist is involved in an accident.
The proponents decide to create a smart helmet that ensures a rider wears it before
turning the engine on. In case of being drunk the engine will automatically turn off. The goal of
this project is to minimize accident rates and to enforce riders to wear helmets. The smart
helmet contains a range of sensors that read and process data, including a GPS sensor, a
crash collision sensor, and an alcohol sensor.
