Abstract :
Motorcycle is most widely used vehicle in India. Fatalities due to road accidents in India are significantly high. Motorcycles being an obvious choice as convenient transportation mode, it has a major contribution to road accident casualties and injuries. Despite the Government traffic regulation, people still avoid using helmet. Impetuous or deliberate nature of people could be reasons for avoiding helmet. The proposed system is an effort to create awareness in a society by endorsing use of helmet and lead people to safety. This paper proposes effective enforcement of use of helmet by implementing RF communication based helmet detection system.
