K. Sudarsan | P. Kumaraguru Diderot

Abstract: In India still most of the people prefer two wheelers compared to other form of vehicle due to simplicity and its low cost. One important problem is bike riders suffer from inadequate roads and bad driving conditions. Other important problem with bikers is that most of the time they dont like to wear helmet which could be fatal when accidents happen. Two wheelers in everyones life play vital role, moreover the safety is considered to be primary of all. According to some statistics 50 % of accident occurs due to bad conditions of road and not wearing helmet. To avoid accidents and to encourage people to wear helmet a project is to be introduced that includes smart interactive robotic helmet with features like road hazard warning, wireless bike authentication and traffic adaptive mp3 playback. This helmet will warn the rider when road hazard is ahead, helmet will also communicate with rider if he is not wearing it and will perform wireless bike authentication that act as prevention from theft. It will also adjust the volume of the speakers automatically while rider is listening to music as a safety precaution. Since in India the usage of two wheelers is more compared to four wheelers, it requires more attention as far as safety is concerned.
