A Review Paper on Smart Helmet : HelNet Smart Safety

Abstract

The statistics of survey on road accidents from 2015 to 2019 in India says that on record, there are on average 472,606 road accidents. According to the BussinessStabdard.com report published on December 27, 2020 "6 two-wheeler riders die every hour in accidents" due to faulty helmet and poor enforcement of rules and regulation. In recent years, the number of two wheeler riders are increasing rapidly. Also, the annual sales of two-wheeler projects to reach 26.6 million by 2025 at 2.6% growth rate, according to UnivDatos. These accidents are due mainly due to drunk & drive, high density roads, poor or no communication of accidents which leads delay in medical aid.

The normal helmet or should I say the older version or what we get in the market now a days. are good but it can be better. Since the technology is getting better day by day in lot of fields then why not in transportation field specially in the "two-wheeler transportation system" which gets more accident than any other vehicles on road. And our HelNet: A Smart Safety does the same. It checks the predefined norms first then only it lets the rider start it wheel.

The monitoring of physiological signals using wearable devices is increasingly becoming a

necessary for the assessment of the state of body and mind in natural environments. Following

the same trends, many smart improvements are made in transportation system. Since the

transportation is necessary so the safety of riders. With this in mind, helmets of two-wheeler

riders are gone through lot of improvements throughout the years. UUnit that makes the rider

compulsory to wear the helmet while driving. In spite these improvements, the road accidents are still increasing. The reasons for the accidents are human mistakes, violating traffic rules, usage of mobile phone or drunk. To overcome this issue, researchers worked by using the methods like auto ignition that motor did not start until the rider wear helmet on his head. The other sensors are also used to monitor the riders' safety and activities during riding the wheel. This project is built to aid people to monitor the various action such as accident detecting, navigating and many more. Although our project is not full replacement of manually checking hazards but our product will help in the occurrences, where a simple mistake could lead to a fatal outcome or things which are outside the natural field view of rider.
