Integration of IoT and Embedded Systems for Rider Safety and Security

With the increasing number of road accidents and vehicle thefts, ensuring the safety and security of two-wheeler riders has become a significant concern. This paper presents a comprehensive system that integrates the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems to enhance rider safety and vehicle security. The proposed design incorporates real-time monitoring using sensors to detect parameters such as helmet usage, alcohol consumption, and accident impact. Additionally, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) modules are embedded to enable location tracking and emergency alerts. The system prevents ignition if safety criteria are not met, thereby enforcing responsible riding behaviour. Cloud connectivity ensures data logging and remote access through a mobile application, enabling family members or authorities to receive alerts in critical situations. The fusion of IoT with embedded hardware offers a scalable, cost-effective, and reliable solution that not only safeguards the rider but also contributes to the development of intelligent transportation systems.
