The aim of this project is to develop a Smart Motorcyclist Helmet by using an Arduino microcontroller, which has the feature to alert the rider when there is an object approaching the motorcyclist’s blind spot zone while riding. The overall objective is to develop a prototype helmet add-on blind spot proximity warning device for motorcyclists. There are a few tests that will need to be conducted to evaluate the performance of the Smart Motorcyclist Helmet, which are: first is the distance measurement test (Dry test), to test the accuracy of the sensor in a dry atmosphere. Second is the distance measurement test (Rain test), to test the accuracy of the sensor in rainy conditions. Lastly is the angle measurement test, to test the angle range of the sensor that can detect objects.
