Abstract

This project focuses on the design and development of a rider's safety jacket aimed at enhancing the safety of motorbike riders, horse riders, and workers in high-risk environments such as construction sites. The system operates on principles similar to vehicle-mounted airbags, deploying automatically to minimize injuries during accidents. The jacket integrates a pressure cylinder connected via a pneumatic valve, conduits, and connectors. Upon impact, the pneumatic valve triggers the release of pressurized air, inflating the jacket within milliseconds to provide cushioning. Additionally, the system incorporates a GPS module to capture the rider's live location, which is then transmitted to the nearest ambulance or designated contacts via a GSM module.
