Automatic Airbag System for Two-Wheelers

The increasing number of road accidents involving two-wheelers highlights the urgent need for enhanced rider safety systems. This project presents the design and development of an Automatic Airbag System for Two-Wheelers, aimed at reducing the severity of injuries during frontal collisions. The system employs accelerometers, gyroscopes, and impact sensors to continuously monitor the vehicle’s motion. When the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) detects a sudden deceleration or abnormal angular change beyond a predefined threshold, it activates the airbag inflator module, causing the airbag to deploy within milliseconds. The inflated airbag provides a cushioning effect, minimizing impact forces on the rider’s head, chest, and upper body. The proposed system is lightweight, reliable, and compatible with most motorcycles. The study demonstrates that such intelligent safety mechanisms can significantly improve rider protection and have the potential to become an essential safety feature in future two-wheelers.
