Abstract
Road accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury and fatalities worldwide,
especially in countries with heavy motorcycle usage. This paper presents the design and
implementation of an IoT-enabled Smart Helmet that integrates alcohol detection, accident
monitoring, and real-time emergency alerting into a unified system. The system employs an
MQ-3 alcohol sensor, MPU6050 accelerometer, SW-420 vibration sensor, and a GPS module
interfaced with an ESP32 microcontroller. Data is processed locally and transmitted to
Firebase Realtime Database for cloud monitoring. The novelty lies in dual-layer safety: (1)
prevention of intoxicated riding via ignition interlock, and (2) real-time accident detection
with GPS-enabled alerts. Experimental results demonstrate >95% alcohol detection
accuracy, 92% accident recognition accuracy, and average alert latency of 2.1 seconds.

I. Introduction
Motorcycle riders are vulnerable in traffic accidents. IoT can enhance helmet safety by
integrating sensing and communication features.

II. Literature Review


Previous works address alcohol detection, accident detection, or GPS alerts individually.
Few combine them in a single, low-cost helmet system.

III. Proposed System


The Smart Helmet integrates ESP32 with sensors, actuators, and cloud services.
