geometric location of rider via Email.
The road accident is one of the major
problems all over the world. The recent
report says that the annual average road
accident is estimated to be about 7, 00,000
of which 10 percentage occur in India which
has overtaken China.

The annual statistics revealed by the World

Health Organization (WHO) in its Global
status report on road safety says that around
80,000 people are killed on Indian roads due
to rash driving and less usage of helmets.
Also, most of the countries are forcing the
motor riders to wear the helmet and not to
use the vehicles when the person is not Fig 1 : Smart Helmet

IV. DISADVANTAGES OF
EXISTING
TECHNOLOGY

Disadvantage of current technology is due to

negligence of rider and difficulty of
implementation of traffic rules by traffic
police. Following are the main drawbacks of
existing technology:

1. Rider do not wear helmet in regions

where traffic checking is not done.

2. There is a tendency of the rider to wear

helmet only where they anticipate checking
may take place, else they do not wear helmet
where no checking is done.

by bypassing the ignition switch. When the Rider starts the vehicle, the

CONCLUSION

We conclude by saying we have succeeded

in fulfilling the objective of this project i.e.
to concentrate on the implementation of
interactive interface and conduct intensive
research on the application in agile fashion.

With the completion of this project we were

able to develop a completely functional
prototype of a smart interactive agent to act
as a receptionist in a college . As an example

SMART HELMET is a completely
functional intelligent agents we can make a
number of enhancements to make it more
efficient. We can do this by adding
additional functionalities to SMART
HELMET .These can include:

 The helmet is used as a high security

module for the rider.
 The IoT system enables the riders to
get connected to the Centralized
hospital server.
 The Data of the user is recorded in
the cloud in case of any medical
