Review of the Development of Ride Safe: Intelligent Bike Safety Management

Road safety is one of the major concerns in developing countries, where two-wheeler vehicles account for a large share of road accidents. This project, titled “Ride Safety Management System for Two- Wheelers”, is designed to ensure the safety of both the rider and the vehicle. The system integrates various sensors and modules to provide multiple safety features such as helmet detection, accident detection, RFID- based vehicle authorization, and GPS-based location tracking. The project employs two microcontrollers — ATmega328 as the main controller and ATtiny85 as the helmet unit controller. The ATmega328 manages GPS, GSM, ADXL335 accelerometer, RFID authentication, and HC12 wireless communication. The ATtiny85, mounted in the helmet, uses an IR sensor to ensure that the helmet is worn before the bike can be started. Communication between the helmet and vehicle is achieved using the HC12 RF module. This intelligent system enhances rider safety by preventing vehicle start without helmet detection and provides accident alerts with real-time location to emergency contacts through GSM and GPS modules.
