Smart Helmet with Rear View and Accident Detection System for Increased Safety

This paper presents a smart helmet to show the rider his rear view using a raspberry pi camera. A speed limit indicator will help the rider stay within safe speed limits. Accident detection system is implemented by means of a heart rate sensor. In case of an accident an automated SMS will be sent to the relevant authorities using a GPS and GSM module. The heart rate sensor is also used to detect drowsiness and a vibrator alerts the rider to stay awake. A smart turn indicator warns the vehicles behind motorcycle of the rider's intention to turn. This proposed smart helmet aims to make motorcycle riding safer.
