Smart Helmet GPS-Based for Heartbeat Drowsiness Detection and Location Tracking

In Indonesia, motorcycle traffic accidents have increased rapidly. Traffic accidents result in high mortality. One of the causes is influenced by human psychological factors or human error. However, to improve the behavior of the riders and due reducing traffic accidents, the purpose of this research is to develop a Smart Helmet that can detect drowsiness by measuring the heartbeats psychologically riders. Besides that, this system is equipped with an SOS button. Its function is to detect and help the riders if there were any emergency incidents on the roads. This proposed system was designed using a heartbeat pulse sensor, GPS module, GSM module, Arduino Nano, push-button, and buzzer. Smart Helmet was examined in several scenarios to test the performance of the drowsiness and the SOS button. The resulting test defined the helmet can detect drowsiness based on heartbeat rate and give an alarm. The SOS button and the GPS are functioning properly as long as the helmet is used in the outdoor area.
