 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
and
MOTIVATION
PROBLEM STATEMENT:

• The smart helmet addresses the lack of a consolidated solution for safety, security, and environmental awareness. Current
options fail to offer real-time data on humidity, temperature, alcohol detection, theft prevention, air quality, and live
weather updates in a single wearable device. This integrated helmet aims to bridge these gaps, providing comprehensive
safety and environmental monitoring for users in various settings.

Department of EIE
 MOTIVATION
• The motivation behind developing the multifunctional smart helmet stems from the critical need for enhanced safety, security,
and environmental awareness in various situations. Existing solutions lack a unified approach, leaving users vulnerable to
environmental risks, theft, and a lack of real-time data crucial for informed decision-making. By integrating features like
humidity and temperature monitoring, alcohol detection, anti-theft sensors, air quality checks, and live weather updates into a
single wearable device, this helmet aims to empower users with comprehensive protection and vital environmental
information, fostering safer and more informed experiences in diverse environments.

November 15, 2024 Department of EIE

 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED WORK

• Design and develop a multifunctional smart helmet equipped with integrated sensors for humidity and temperature
monitoring.

• An integrated camera for live recording and documentation.

• Alcohol detection capabilities for safety.

• Anti-theft sensors for security.

• Air quality monitoring to ensure optimal breathing conditions.

• And real-time weather updates for enhanced environmental awareness.
