Existing systems for safety of bike riders do not check drunken driving and wearing of helmet prior to bike start. In this paper, the authors propose a novel system that uses human pulse detection to ensure that the bike rider is wearing helmet. A breath alcohol sensor is used to detect the possibility of drunken riding. The proposed system is designed such that the vehicle can start only when permission signal is received from intelligent helmet node via RF receiver. The system also has a vehicle fall detection feature implemented using vibration sensors. By integrating the system with GPS for vehicle live location and connecting it via cellular mobile network with emergency contact numbers, we increase the chances for timely aid to bike rider. The system ensures that messages carrying the live location of the vehicle fall are immediately sent to emergency contact numbers programmed in the proposed system via GSM module. The emergency messages (such as SMS) are sent continuously until an acknowledgement is received to ensure on-time medical assistance. The system was successfully tested and found to be an effective solution for improving rider safety and thus contributes immensely towards safer riding.
