Automatic License Plate Recognition of Bikers with No Helmets

Bikers who do not wear helmets pose a major threat to themselves. A UN Motorcycle study done in 2017 showed that around fifteen thousand deaths of bike riders could be avoided annually in India with safety measures. It also mentions that wearing helmets improves the chances of surviving accidents by 42% and helps riders to avoid injuries by 69%. Due to large vehicular traffic, manual monitoring of vehicles has become a problem. This can be automated using Deep Learning, which is the purpose of our work. Our tool, with the help of feed from a camera, monitors traffic and detects riders who are not wearing helmets. It then notes down the license plate data of the vehicle in a database, thus, making it easier for officials to track and warn the riders who are violating traffic rules.
