This paper presents a multi-featured electronic helmet designed to tackle critical road safety issues, including accidents, drunk driving, and over-speeding. The design incorporates a global system for mobile communications (GSM) and global positioning system (GPS) modules to accurately capture driver’s current location and send messages to predefined contacts. When encountering an accident, the helmet promptly notifies designated contacts and authorities, ensuring swift assistance. By integrating features for detecting over-speeding, accidents, and drunk driving, the helmet renders real-time alerts to both the driver’s family and traffic police, enhancing accountability and safety measures. Additionally, the helmet includes solar charging functionality for mobile devices receive 100% charged in 3.37 hours, thereby optimizing usability and emergency communication. A rain detection system protects mobile devices, while an internal warming mechanism caters to adverse weather conditions, and proffers enhanced comfort by maintaining internal form temperature between 26-27 ℃ and safety, especially in cold regions or for military personnel.
