Road accident is an unintended incident which is responsible for deaths of people worldwide. According to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), more than 1, 35,000 people die every year annually in Indian road accidents. The most significant cause is drunken driving and not wearing helmets while driving. The main objective here is to eradicate drunken driving and helmetless driving. In this regard, an attempt has been made by using microcontroller assisted RF transmitter and receiver unit. The IR sensor detects the presence of helmet on the head. MQ3 alcohol sensor detects the alcohol level. The comparator analyse the values and gives command to relay circuit. Thus the starting of two wheelers is controlled by the application of sensors. In addition to this, a motion sensor has also been incorporated to inform the driver about the presence of nearby vehicles.
