TLDR

Smart helmets will be able to identify accidents and send alerts to nearby emergency services as well as medical facilities using the Internet of Things, using an accelerometer module to detect accidents.

Abstract

It’s common knowledge that modern youth gravitate toward two-wheeled transportation. Drinking and driving and excessive speeding are also widespread problems today. Road accidents are responsible for the deaths of thousands of individuals every year. The primary cause of this is the tardiness of emergency aid that should have been given to the victims. Using the Internet of Things, smart helmets will be able to identify accidents and send alerts to nearby emergency services as well as medical facilities. In this case, an accelerometer module is used to detect accidents by constantly monitoring the deviations from the normal conditions. In the event of a collision, the exact location of the rider can be determined and forwarded to the relevant authorities. The primary function of this system is to transmit accurate information related to the accident in the form of text messages and phone calls to predetermined contacts.
