Abstract
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 developed a Smart Helmet that can detect drowsiness by measuring the heartbeats psychological riders. Besides that, this system 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 designed using a heartbeat pulse sensor, GPS module, GSM module, Arduino Nano, push-button, and buzzer. Smart Helmet examined in several scenarios to test the performance of the drowsiness and the SOS button. The resulting test on 10 respondents defined that the drowsiness can be detected and give a buzzer alert when the heartbeat is below 60 bpm. The information can be seen without delay. The incident location can be tracked down by utilizing the google maps application. The shift position as the error distance of the GPS incident location only happens in the range of 21.96-42.63 meters. The conclusion is the helmet can detect drowsiness based on heartrate and give an alarm. The SOS button is functionally properly as long as the helmet is used in the outdoor area.
