According to the investigation in India, nearly 25% of the road accidents are caused by two wheelers. The foremost causes for the fatalities are due to drunken driving, rash driving, and drowsiness due to long drive. The aim is to build an interesting smart helmet that protects us from accidents and indicates the accident prone area. Here we are using various sensors to build the smart helmet. To detect alcohol consumption of the rider we use Alcohol sensors. In order to check a rider’s helmet, an infrared sensor can be used. Vibration detector is also added to the helmet to indicate the harsh hitting of the helmet during an accident. When the two wheelers slide down due to road rashes, the GPS is used to identify the location of the accident spot and quickly sends messages (location) to police stations and hospitals nearby through GSM.
