Abstract: Under the Indian Motor Vehicle Act of 1988, specifically Section 129, it is mandatory for motorcycle and two-wheeler riders to wear helmets while operating their vehicles.A recent survey by the World Health Organization (WHO) highlights the alarming rates of road accidents globally, particularly noting that India has one of the highest mortality rates from such incidents, with approximately 150,000 fatalities each year.This situation underscores the urgent need for a safety system aimed at protecting riders.In response, we have developed a system that verifies helmet usage and checks for alcohol consumption before allowing the motorcycle to start.If both conditions are met, the motor will ignite; otherwise, it will remain inactive.Additionally, in the event of an accident, our system can detect the occurrence and approximate location of the incident.To enhance visibility during nighttime riding, we have integrated LED strips into the helmet.
