"With the rising number of motorbikes being a primary mode of transportation, comes the need for enhancing the security of motorbikes and rider’s safety considering that motorbike theft and accidents have been evident for the past years. This research aimed to develop an enhanced Motorbike Ignition System advancing to keyless technology and integrating AI- Enabled Helmet Detection. The system allows identification of authorized users through a Fingerprint Sensor and improves rider’s safety through Artificial Intelligence, made possible by two controllers, specifically NodeMCU and Raspberry Pi 4B. The fingerprint sensor is attached to the NodeMCU enabling the motorbike’s electrical system while the Raspberry Pi is in charge of the Helmet Detection which starts the ignition system. Factoring in that the fingerprint sensor is affected if the finger is wet/oily and if with soil/rusty. For the helmet detection, lighting is vital for its functionality. Both conditions should be satisfied, else the ignition will not start. Adding a layer of security, three (3) consecutive failed attempts of fingerprint will activate an alarm. For the helmet detection feature, EfficientDet was used as algorithm. Through Raspbian OS, Google Colab, Tensorflow, Arduino IDE, Thonny IDE and Python, the software requirements were fulfilled. Datasets were prepared in helmet detection training ensuring dependability. Model Performance Evaluation showed that the system’s Mean Average Precision (mAP) is 94.37% while the Average Precision (AP) is 0.9436502, indicating the system’s high precision. The system was also subjected to different test cases to determine needed improvements. The system was then evaluated by IT professionals, electricians, and motorists using the TUP evaluation instrument. Majority of the respondents highly accepted the system in terms of Functionality, Aesthetics, Workability, Durability, Economy and Safety. With a grand weighted mean of 3.59 interpreted as “Highly Acceptable”, the system was able to accomplish its objective, improving the current security of motorbikes and safety of the riders." -- Author's Abstract
