The Smart Helmet is a compact IoT-based safety device designed to improve road safety for two-wheeler riders. Road accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities because emergency services are not notified immediately after a crash. This project aims to reduce response time by automatically detecting accidents and sending real-time alerts with the rider’s location.

The system is designed as a small modular device that can be fitted into any commercial helmet. Instead of manufacturing a completely new helmet, the device can be installed inside existing helmets, making it easier for both individuals and manufacturers to adopt the technology.

The hardware system is built around an ESP32 microcontroller which processes data from multiple sensors. An MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope is used to detect sudden impacts or abnormal motion patterns that indicate a crash. A GPS module provides the rider’s real-time location, which is sent to a cloud server when an accident is detected. The system can also include a manual SOS button that allows the rider to trigger an emergency alert if they are in danger but no crash is detected.

A web-based dashboard is integrated with the system to monitor events in real time. The dashboard displays accident alerts, rider location on a map, and system status. This allows emergency contacts, hospitals, or monitoring authorities to quickly identify the accident location and respond faster.

The product is designed to serve two types of users. First, automobile companies or helmet manufacturers can purchase the device in bulk and integrate it directly into helmets during production. Second, individual riders can purchase the device separately and install it inside their existing helmets without needing to replace the helmet.

Overall, the Smart Helmet aims to combine IoT sensing, real-time communication, and cloud monitoring to create a practical and scalable safety solution that can help reduce accident response time and potentially save lives.
