Abstract— The idea of developing this project comes from social responsibility towards the society. Bike riding is a lot of fun, but accidents happen. People choose motorbikes over car as it is much cheaper to run, easier to repair, easier to park and flexible in traffic. In India more than 37 million people are using two wheelers. Since usage is high accident percentage of two wheelers are also high compared to four wheelers. Motorcycles have high rate of fatal accidents than cars or trucks and buses. This project aims for accident avoidance, safety and security of bike rider. The main purpose of the project is to encourage wearing helmet. The system will ensure that the motorbike will not start unless the rider is wearing a helmet and has not consumed alcohol. Thus alcohol detection is also an important part in this project. Alcohol detection is done by MQ-3 sensor and helmet detection is done by IR and PIR sensors. The system will also alert the bike rider if any obstacle comes too close while riding the bike. This is found to be useful at night or when the rider is drowsy or tired. By this accidents can be prevented. Also GSM technology is used to inform the family members in case of an accident. Accident detection is done using accelerometer. Wireless communication through Ask module is done between the helmet and motorbike.
