        abstract = {The Smart Helmet with an Alcohol Sensor is designed to enhance road safety by preventing intoxicated individuals from riding motorcycles. This helmet integrates an alcohol sensor,an IR sensor, a DC motor, a battery, a relay, and IoT technology. The alcohol sensor detects the presence of alcohol in the rider's breath. If alcohol is detected beyond a predefined limit, the relay disconnects the ignition system, preventing the bike from starting. The IoT module enables real-time monitoring and alerts authorities or emergency contacts in case of intoxication. The DC motor and battery power the system, ensuring reliable operation. This innovative helmet aims to reduce accidents caused by drunk driving by enforcing safety measures at the source. Its integration with IoT further enhances its effectiveness by providing remote monitoring and data logging. This smart helmet serves as a proactive solution to road safety, offering a practical and technological approach to minimizing alcohol-related accidents.},
