Enchancing Vehicle safety through IoT Integration: A Comprehensive Sensor Based Approach

Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for vehicle safety is crucial in improving road safety and rider security. This study presents a comprehensive IoT-based motorcycle safety system designed to monitor critical parameters in real-time. The system incorporates sensors like DHT11 for temperature/humidity, MQ6 for gas levels, GPS for location tracking, IR for helmet status, and an accelerometer for accident detection. The proposed system initializes sensors, acquires data, and transmits it to a centralized server. Data including temperature, humidity, gas levels, GPS location, and helmet status is displayed in real-time on an LCD screen. Anomaly detection alerts the rider to potential dangers through a buzzer. The accelerometer detects accidents, triggering emergency notifications to designated contacts. Key contributions include developing and evaluating a practical IoT-based motorcycle safety system, addressing safety concerns in real-world scenarios. Extensive testing validates its effectiveness in enhancing rider safety and reducing motorcycle accidents. Future work aims to enhance system robustness, scalability, and integration with emerging IoT technologies to further advance motorcycle safety and reduce road fatalities
