Item An Automated Approach to Headlamp Positioning and Accident Recognition(2018-09-05T10:49:22Z) Akshay, V; D.K Ramachandra, Chowdary; Deepak, Bhat; Naonidh Signh, AhujaThe main objective of this project is to significantly increase the safety of motorcyclists by using easily available technologies to automate the control of headlamps and detection of an accident thereby making the Helmet Intelligent. The proposed idea is achieved by using an Accelerometer, Piezoelectric Sensor, RF Transmitter and Receiver, Servo Motor attached to the Headlamp and GSM Module. All these components are connected to an Arduino Board which is the brain of the Helmet. Headlamps are automatically positioned as required which is calculated by the amount of Rider's Facial movement. The values from the Accelerometer and the Sensor are used to detect an accident, and if yes, alerts are sent to prioritized contacts through the GSM Module. To achieve the objective we make use of a Tri-axis Accelerometer used to measure acceleration forces in three perpendicular axes. The values obtained by the device are sent to Arduino board. This Arduino board is used for controlling the switches that are sent by the accelerometer. The RF Module is used for transmitting and receiving the signals that is connected to servo motors which is attached to headlamps. The Helmet is also equipped with a piezoelectric sensor to detect an accident. The pressure values obtained from the Accelerometer are sent to Arduino board. If both values get sudden changes, result in accident event being triggered. The GSM module is used for mobile communication. It provides a connection within the Helmet and sends an accident alert to phone. Thus, the development of this system marks a new step in the importance of road safety for motorcyclists thereby encouraging them to use the helmet at all times.
