ABSTRACT
Wearing a helmet is a significant part of driving a motorcycle, and most countries

have strict helmet regulations. Despite laws on helmet usage, there are still two-wheeler
riders who do not follow these policies. This study intends to aid authorities by producing
a system that assists the users in capturing no-helmet riders by sending notifications
through webpage and text messages. The researchers utilized Raspberry Pi as the
microcontroller, accompanied by a GSM module for sending text messages, a web socket,
a database, and an IP Camera for the visual input. In this study, Python programming
language, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP were essential in developing the system.
The model was trained using collected images as sample datasets through OpenCV. The
system detects and captures riders with a rate of 76.09% on accuracy tests conducted in
three different barangays. The system provides notifications through a webpage via the
internet and sends text messages with an average response time of 5.4 seconds and
12.18 seconds respectively. The researchers employed the descriptive method. The
purposive sampling technique was practiced selecting 10 participants as end-user
respondents to evaluate the system and three professionals to assess the system through
survey questionnaires using ISO/IEC 25010 standards. The system was evaluated by its
ease of use and effectiveness regarding the installation complexity of the device and
functionality of the helmet detection and notification. The end-users considered the device
as “Good”, with a calculated mean of 3.1 and the evaluation by the experts weighted an
average mean of 4.18, implying that the professional respondents are “Satisfied”. These
show that the system can serve the intended purpose and that the overall function of the
helmet detection system is effective.

INTRODUCTION
Helmet laws are administered to lessen head injuries and avoid fatalities.
According to Liu et al., 2008, helmet-wearing riders that got involved in accidents had
decreased the risk of head injury by 69% along with a 42% decreased risk of death. This
suggests that the majority of fatal head injuries sustained in motorcycle collisions can be
mitigated or even prevented through helmet usage. However, despite the traffic laws and
years of helmets being subject to continuous improvements in terms of safety and
lifesaving qualities, as the use of helmets among riders keeps declining, the numbers of
motorcyclist fatalities keep rising.
Although there is an act in the Philippines, the Republic Act No. 10054, that
requires motorcycle riders to use standard protective motorcycle helmets while driving,
the usage of motorcycle helmets is still low due to a lack of police manpower. Moreover,
despite the penalties being provided to violators, there still are people who do not wear
helmets as even though police officials tried to regulate this problem manually through
checkpoint operations, not all of the violators can be monitored, caught, and punished by
the law. (LAWPHIL, 2010)
This study focused on this problem and proposed a system that will help law
enforcers in improving the monitoring system of checkpoint operations through the aid of
developing a device that will detect and recognize non-helmet-wearing motorcycle riders
and then notify its user using Image Processing as the main technology to be used and
the Raspberry Pi as the Microcontroller Unit.
According to Pabaharan (2020), image processing refers to a variety of operations
that examine pictures or transform one image representation into another. Although some
analog processing was used in the past, image processing is now done entirely in the
digital realm. Surveillance, medical imaging, machine vision, robotics, and computer-
generated images (CGI) are just a few of the applications. Image processing is a
technology that may be used to process pictures, 3D models, prints, and extract data from
them. While using analog visual methods, researchers employ a wide range of
fundamental picture interpretation procedures.
The researchers then opted to run the system on a Raspberry Pi as the main
processing unit, a credit-card-sized computer that connects to a computer monitor or TV
and works on a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a powerful small-sized device that
allows users to communicate with computers and learn to write in languages like Scratch
and Python. All versions include a connector for attaching a specialized camera, as well
as an array of general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins for communicating with a broad
range of electronics, including LEDs and buttons, servos, and motors, power relays, and
a plethora of sensors. (Jolles, 2021
A similar study entitled “Machine vision techniques for motorcycle safety helmet
detection” presented a system that detects motorcycle riders and determines if they are
wearing safety helmets or not. The researchers of this study utilized K-Nearest Neighbor
(KNN) classifier. By using this classifier, the device categorized motorcycles and other

moving entities based on the features extracted from their region properties. Using KNN,
the system determines whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not based on attributes
extracted from four sections of the segmented head area. The results of the experiments
demonstrate that the average correct detection rate for the near lane, distant lane, and
both lanes is 84%, 68%, and 74%, respectively. (Waranusast, Bundon, Timtong, Tangnoi,
Pattanathaburt, 2013)
Correspondingly, Siebert and Lin (2019) created an algorithm for the automatic
registration of motorcycle helmet wear using video data. The system was trained to
recognize active motorbikes, the number and location of riders on the motorcycle, and
helmet usage using 91,000 annotated frames of video footage gathered at several
observation sites around Myanmar. An examination of the performance of the algorithm
on an annotated test data set, as well as a comparison to accessible human-registered
helmet use data, demonstrates that said technique is highly accurate. With a small amount
of training for individual observation locations, the system detects motorcycle helmet
usage with rates of 4.4% accuracy and a +2.1% accuracy when compared to a human
observer.
Moreover, a CNN-based multi-task learning (MTL) system for recognizing and
monitoring particular motorbikes, as well as registering rider-specific helmet wear was
presented in a recent study by Lin, Deng, Albers, and Siebert (2019). The study also
released the HELMET dataset, which contains 91,000 annotated frames from 10,006
unique motorbikes from 12 observation locations in Myanmar. Along with the dataset, the
researchers presented an assessment measure for helmet wear and rider detection
accuracy, that may be used as a standard for assessing future detection algorithms. The
study shows that using MTL for concurrent visual similarity learning and helmet use
classification improves the efficiency of the approach compared to previous studies,
allowing a processing speed of more than 8 FPS on consumer hardware and a weighted
average F-measure of 67.3 percent for detecting the number of riders and helmet usage
of tracked motorcycles.
With these supporting studies in mind, the researchers intend to help the
authorities by developing a system that captures images and sends notifications to the
user and that allows them to improve the strategies for capturing disobedient motorcycle
riders. By amplifying the methods of implementing the strict helmet law on two-wheeler
riders, the system helps the authorities by providing alertness and assistance to intercept
violators due to driving a motorcycle without head protection is dangerous. The
proponents want to help mitigate fatal head injuries as 90 percent of deaths caused by
motorcycle accidents were riders that are not wearing helmets (WHO Philippines 2018).
The researchers also want to learn how image processing can contribute to making the
community safer while trying to minimize the injury sustained because of accidents.
The study aims to produce a detection system for motorcycle helmets using image
processing with notifications. The system may help notify its user after it captures images
of riders who are not wearing a helmet. The captured images are stored locally and in a
database as backup data to provide evidence for traffic law violations during checkpoint

operations. The collected images are accessible by authorized personnel only through a
user-friendly webpage.
With regard to the limitation of the study, the system relies on electricity as a self-
sufficient energy source is not part of the study and the detection of ICC-certified stickers
on helmets is not included in the system due to hardware restraints. Detection of plate
numbers is not included.
The product of this study would be beneficial to motorcycle riders, checkpoint
personnel, Local Government Units, and Future Researchers. This will allow motorcycle
riders to be wary of not wearing a helmet violation when driving, for their own safety. The
system will enable the checkpoint personnel to keep track and be more aware of the
violators that drove past them. The device intends to help the Local Government Units to
impose the law in a more efficient way with regard to wearing helmets when driving a
motorcycle. Upon the completion of the study, it will serve as a supporting study for future
researchers who are looking for ideas or topics related to this study or for those who intend
to further develop, enhance, and innovate the product.
Figure 1. Conceptual Framework of the Study
Figure 1 contains the knowledge requirements of the system such as

Programming, Networking, Circuits, and Electronics. The hardware needed for the

development of the system are Raspberry Pi 4, IP Camera, SIM 800L module, Internet
Cable, router, and Chassis. The Software requisite of the system are Python, PHP,
database, JavaScript, and HTML. The software development consists of software
designing, coding, training of the model, and web page development. The establishment
of the connection of components is held in the hardware development phase and the
assembly of the helmet detection and notifications functions produce the Motorcycle Rider
Helmet Detection System with conducted different tests and evaluations.

METHODS
The researchers employed a descriptive method as the methodology of this study.
The goal of descriptive research is to describe a population, situation, or phenomenon
accurately and thoroughly. To explore one or more variables, a descriptive research
design might employ a wide range of research methodologies. The researchers decided
to use this method as it fits in the collection of the needed information for this study
(McCombes, 2020).
The first stage of development is the planning phase. The researchers discussed
the design of the system to achieve its intended purpose effectively. The proponents
determined the components to acquire for the development of the system. The
researchers utilized Raspberry Pi 4 model which is the main controller unit. The Raspberry
Pi is also responsible for running the program. IP camera serves as the visual sensor of
the system that captures target entities. The proponents decided to use the internet as a
medium for notification and a GSM module to enable the device for sending a text
message as a secondary notification method.

GSM module
Figure 2. Block Diagram

Figure 2 shows the block diagram of the study. The researchers utilized the use
of Raspberry Pi 4 as the Microcontroller. The power supply will power the Raspberry
Pi and the IP camera, the microcontroller then will supply the GSM module. The IP
Camera will be used to detect violations and the Raspberry Pi will send notifications to
the webpage and store images in the webserver, another notification will be sent by a
text message that includes a link to the image capture through the GSM module. The
captured data is saved locally in the Raspberry Pi and to the database for backup
purposes.
Figure 3 shows the flow of the process of the system. The process starts with
the execution of the helmet detection function, then the camera is in waiting state to
detect a motorcycle. If the camera has detected a motorcycle, then the action will
proceed to the decision stage, the differentiation between a positive and negative
entity. If the detected rider is wearing a helmet, the task will return to the motorcycle
detection state, however, if the detected rider is not wearing a helmet, the activity will

proceed to the capturing of image. Right after the caption of the subject, the system will
save the image in the local storage of the raspberry pi and to the database. Then the
process will proceed to the sending of notifications through the GSM module and
through the web.
Figure 3. Flowchart
After the complete concept of the system was finalized, the software development
for the helmet detection was started by initializing the training phase of the model. The
researchers gathered sample data through capturing images of both positive and negative
entities on roadways. The images that are classified positive are the images that contain
motorcycle riders who do not wear a helmet and as for the negative, these are images

containing motorcycle riders who wear helmet. Positive images are annotated which is
going to be used on detecting the object desired to be captured.
Figure 4. Annotation of positive images
The proponents utilized 1000 positive images and 2000 negative images for the
training of the model as shown in figure 3. The manually collected images are composed
of images that were captured by the proponents of themselves while riding a motorcycle
with and without a helmet and captured images of passing motorcycles through roadways.
The images collected from the internet came from websites such as Unsplash,
Stockimages, Shuttershock, and pixabay which contain photos of motorcycle riders
wearing and not wearing helmets. The images are separated in two folders: negative and
positive.
Figure 5. Collected positive and negative images

With the collection of datasets, the researchers used OpenCV to create Haar
cascades and train the program. The Haar Cascade is an object identification technique
that can recognize customized items in images or real-time video. It requires both positive
and negative pictures to function. Positive photos are those custom items the AI should
recognize. Negative pictures are those the A.I. should ignore. The Raspberry Pi was used
to run the trained model and program.
Figure 6. Vector File Creation
Figure 6 shows the training of the Haar cascade was initialized after the annotation
and the creation of the vector file.
Figure 7. Training of Haar Cascade
Figure 7 shows the process of the training of the AI layer by layer and the duration of the
training.

Figure 8. Converted Haar Cascades to XML file format.
Figure 8 shows the Haar Cascades that were trained and are converted to XML
file format. The files are the output model that differentiates motorcycle riders with no
helmets from motorcycle riders wearing helmets.
Following the completion of the training phase, the researchers tested the model
virtually. The virtual testing used prerecorded videos to check if the detection model is
working.
Figure 9. Virtual testing

Figure 9 shows the initial testing of the model as it was tested internally using a
laptop and a premade video.
The proponents determined that the detection model is working as intended, the
researchers imported the code to the raspberry pi and the hardware development phase
was started by the assembly of the connection between the IP camera and Raspberry Pi
through the router. The device was implemented on a post and checked the detection
capability of motorcycle riders. After the actual testing, the proponents determined that the
processor of a laptop or larger computer can handle the processes of the helmet detection
system with more efficiency than the raspberry pi.

Figure 10. Actual Testing at Barangay Saguin
Figure 10 shows the actual testing of the Helmet detection program. It was tested
on an intersection inside Barangay Saguin, City of San Fernando, Pampanga.
As for the notification function of the system, the researchers then developed a
webpage where notifications can be received and viewed when a violator is detected and
the use of a web database as the storage of the collected images of the violators online.
HTML, PHP, and JavaScript are used to complete the web-based system.
Figure 11. Starting of HTML Page

Figure 12. Backend Processing of Files List and API for file count
Figure 13. Raspberry vs Laptop

The researchers ran the program on both devices: Raspberry Pi and a Laptop.
Figure 13 shows that the FPS (Frame Per Second) on the Raspberry Pi is only 0.24 and
the FPS on the Laptop is 1.96. This implies that better hardware can run the program
faster and more efficiently.

Figure 14. Webpage notification user interface on desktop browser.
Figure 15. Notification Webpage on mobile browser.
The proponents conducted trial testing of the notification through the webpage on
a mobile browser and the sample notification is shown in figure 15.
Figure 16. SMS Notification
Figure 16 shows the testing of webpage notification was conducted successfully,

the proponents integrated the GSM module to the Raspberry Pi and procured a SIM card
that uses 2G connectivity to function. The researchers utilized an E-load plan for the
module to be able to send messages to the desired recipient. The GSM module was tested
by letting a motorcycle rider with no helmet pass through the camera. A text message will

be sent after a few seconds to the registered number. The message content says that a
violator has been detected which serves as an alert.
Figure 17. Case of the Raspberry Pi

Figure 17 shows the visual design of the casing for the microcontroller and SIM
800L GSM module, it is made of acrylic glass painted with black quick-drying lacquer
spray. The dimensions of the chassis are: 8.2cm (3.23in) width, 11.5cm (4.53in) length,
and 6.6cm (2.60in) height
Following the trial testing of the web page and the text message notifications
completed, the prototyping phase started with the assembly of the software and the
hardware of the system. The proponents added a script that allows the program of the
system to run on boot up of the raspberry pi, creating the Motorcycle Helmet Detection
System. Then the proponents conducted several tests for the functionality of the detection
with regards to multiple detection capabilities, low-light condition capability, accuracy, and
delay speed of notification from the GSM module.
Over the succeeding functionality assessments, the system evaluation
phase was conducted. The study aims to get descriptive information from the end-users
of the device: the authorities at road checkpoints. The end-user and respondents of this
study are 10 officers who are involved in road checkpoints. Moreover, three professionals
from the same field of study are chosen to evaluate the product based on the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) 25010.
The selection of respondents is done through the purposive sampling technique.
The data collection method applied in this study was the questionnaires. Three
professionals validated the questionnaire after they examined the reliability of the
questions and their content. The questionnaire used is composed of tables that
specifically intend to answer how the system is assessed as regards to the ease of
operation of its camera installation and device controller, the process of notification
receiving, and how the respondents described and assessed the effectiveness and
accuracy of the system in terms of its notification delay, ability to detect multiple entities,
low – light conditions, and accessibility of the captured images.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Figure 18. Motorcycle Riders Helmet Detection System
Figure 18 shows the whole system of Motorcycle Rider Helmet Detection. This
system is designed to detect motorcycle riders who violate the R.A. 10054. The device
detects riders who do not wear helmets. It will save the image of the violator on the
webpage for remote access and it is stored in the database and locally in the raspberry pi
for protection against accidental loss of data. It will also send a notification on the webpage
and through text message indicating that a no-helmet motorcycle rider is detected. The

notification in the text message also provides a link to view the image. The hardware used
are the following:
Figure 19. Process of the system
Figure 20. Raspberry Pi 4 8GB
Figure 20 shows the Raspberry Pi that was used as the main controller of the
system. It runs the detection program and sends the notifications to both SMS and Web
channels. The proponents opted for the version 4 8GB variant for wider usage capabilities
than the lower variants.

Figure 21. TP-Link IP Camera

Figure 21 shows the camera that was used for the detection process is the TP-
Link Tapo C320WS. It has a 4MP definition with a 1080P HD Resolution. It is wirelessly
connected to the Raspberry Pi through the router.
Figure 22. TP-Link Router
Figure 22 shows that router that was used to connect two or more packet-switched
networks or subnetworks. In this study, a router was used as an access point for both the
Raspberry Pi and the IP Camera while also providing them with an internet connection.

Figure 23. Webpage Login Screen

Figure 23 shows the webpage of the system contains the saved images of the
violators during an operation. It can only be accessed by the admin account and the
registered users’ credentials.
Figure 24. Website Contents
Figure 24 shows the content of the website includes the images saved during an
operation. The pictures are labeled with the time and date of detection for better
documentation purposes. There are functions that can be used: “Delete All” and “Export

Images”. The “Delete All” function deletes all the current images collected. The “Export
Images” function lets the user download a compressed file of all the images.
Figure 25. Admin Account

Figure 25 shows the admin account is used to carry out tasks that require special
permissions like adding and deleting users that will be able to access the contents of the
website. When a registered account is logged in, the adding and deleting of accounts
feature is disabled and only accessible if the main admin is logged on.
Figure 26. Add and remove feature of regular user accounts.
Only the admin account can add and delete user accounts as shown in Figure 26.
In creating an account, a name, an email, and a password are needed. After all the fields
are filled, there is a save button to finalize the user account creation. When deleting an
account, the admin can browse through the “View All” button and look for the account you
want to delete. Click the trashcan icon and click “Yes!” on the pop-up to delete the selected
user.

In the product development process, the structuring of the project was initiated by
conceptualizing the device and the system. After the design was finalized, the software
development was initialized. The researchers collected datasets and then trained a model
with 2000 negative images and 1000 positive images. Next, the model created was used
for the development of the program for the detection of helmets of motorcycle riders.
After finalizing the design and training of the model, the program for the detection
of motorcycle helmet is completed, the researchers proceeded in testing it virtually. The
code was tested using a laptop and a pre-made video. The researchers had a problem
with the program crashing on the first try. The process was monitored and as shown in
Figure 27, Raspberry Pi is having difficulties in running the program because of algorithm
problems. The researchers optimize the program's flow to avoid extra unnecessary steps.
After optimizing the algorithm of the program, the researchers were able fix this problem
and successfully reduced the processing power need to run the system shown in Figure
28. The researchers made changes like: isolating the image from the feed then process it
as a cropped image; processing first if the vehicle is indeed a motorcycle and using
multithreading to be able to distribute the tasks and give the Raspberry Pi easier
processing work. After these changes, the CPU usage became lower than the constant
100% from before and the program doesn’t freeze anymore.
Figure 27. The CPU usage of the Raspberry Pi is always on 100%.
Figure 28. The CPU usage of the program was optimized.

Next, the hardware needed for the system were canvassed then procured. The
program was imported to Raspberry Pi and the actual testing begun. Tests for the
accuracy of the system in terms of ability to detect multiple entities, low –light conditions,
speed limit, SMS notification delay, and response time from capture point to the web page
notification were conducted for effectiveness and accuracy. The researchers also had
problems with the functionality of the SMS notification function. The GSM module have
power problems and burst messages. The 5V pin should not be connected by the time
Raspberry pi boot up. 5V will be reconnected once Raspberry pi has booted up. With
regard to the burst messages, the main problem was with the detection of the frames.
When the system detects a violation, it sends multiple messages if the same violator is
detected which is not supposed to happen. The problem was solved by making the system
detect a violator once and if it is still in the field of view of the camera, the GSM module
will not send any extra messages because it is considered as the same motorcycle. The
webpage is developed after the GSM was fully developed. The frontend side of the
development of the website includes HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS
(Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript. The basic structure of the website like the head
and the title was developed using HTML. The formatting, layout and the overall
presentation of the website was managed using CSS. The backend side of the
development of the website includes PHP and the database development is done with the
use of MySQL for the storage of inputs. The researchers then added a login feature where
only the main admin have the control to add and remove user accounts for security
measures. After the total assembly of the software and hardware of the system, multiple
tests and evaluations were conducted.
Figure 29. Multiple Entities Detection

The first part of the multiple detection test is to determine if the device can detect
multiple entities at once, as shown in Figure 29. A series of tests was conducted to assess
the ability of the system to detect multiple riders in a single frame. The researchers initially
determined the maximum number of motorcycles that can be detected at the same time
with consecutive tests by incrementing the number of entities visible in the same frame
by one.
Table 6. Multiple Entities Detection Test

(10 attempts)

The proponents conducted the second part of the multiple detection test, to identify
the accuracy of the detection with multiple entities as shown in Table 6. The first scenario
was to detect entities in the same frame with three riders not wearing helmets. The second
test was two riders with helmets and one with no helmet. Third experiment was one rider
with a helmet and the other two were not wearing helmets. The next test was three riders
were all wearing helmets. The last test conducted was to detect two riders with helmets
and two with no helmets, however as stated in the previous test, the device is having
difficulty in detecting four entities in a single frame.

As shown in Table 7, the maximum number of motorcycles that can be detected

at the same time is 3 motorcycles. If the number of motorcycles passing through the
camera at the same time is more than 3, the system will have difficulty detecting all of the
entities.

Table 6 and 7 illustrate the results of the capability of the system in detecting
multiple motorcycle riders. The device can detect at most 3 motorcycle riders in the same
frame. It can also detect violations in different scenarios of three motorcycle riders passing
through the camera at the same time.

The researchers organized tests to determine if the system is capable of operating

at night by operating at low-light conditions. The detection of the system was tested at
different speeds incrementing after each test.
Table 8 shows the results of the accuracy-test in low-light conditions. In

comparison, the detection rate in daylight is significantly higher. Motorcycle riders running
at the speed of 10 kph or more will have a blurred image interpretation by the camera.
Figure 30. Correct detection at 5 kph
Figure 30 illustrates that the camera can detect a moving motorcycle with a very
low speed (5 kph).

Figure 31. Blurred Image at 15 kph
As shown in figure 31, a motorcycle rider moving at 15 kph and faster was visible
but it was not a clear vision for detection.
Figure 32. High Beam Headlights
Figure 30 shows that the system cannot detect a motorcycle rider on a high beam
because the light obstructs the vision of the camera.
In conclusion in this test, the system can detect violations in low-light conditions with
motorcycles running at a very low speed. The image of the motorcycle rider is blurred
when the speed of the motorcycle is 15kph and higher. The light from the headlights
motorcycle can obstruct the vision of the camera resulting in a failed detection.

The proponents conducted trials to determine the maximum speed of a motorcycle

the device can detect as shown in Table 9. The device was tested through the process of
a motorcycle passing through the camera at various speed.
The researchers determined that 20kph is the maximum speed of motorcycles that
can be detected with the highest possibility of detection. The device will have less
detection rate if the motorcycle rider that passes through the camera exceeds 20kph.
Table 10. Accuracy Test

The proponents conducted accuracy tests by the installation of the device in

three different barangays: Brgy. Ascomo, Brgy. San Roque Dau 1st and Brgy. Saguin.
The proponents collected data from the 350 detections in each location and counted the
number of correct detections of both single entity detection and multiple entities detection.
The accuracy of these tests was calculated using the formula:
Table 10 shows the different correct detection results of the system in each
location. Using the formula, the percentage of accuracy on Barangay Saguin, Barangay
San Roque Dau 1st, and Barangay Ascomo was 74%, 78.29%, and 76% respectively.
The proponents determined that the current accuracy of helmet detection is 76.09 percent
according to the three accuracy results in different locations.

There are 20 tests in total and the time is calculated from the time that the motorcycle rider
enters the frame until the time that the text message is received by the desired recipient.
The computed average delay of the text message notification is 12.18 seconds.
Following the development phase and system testing, the proponents conducted
the system evaluation and the results are discussed as follows:

Through a variety of specific tests and evaluations, the findings of the study were
that the system can provide assistance to the authorities as the results show that the
overall function of the helmet detection system is effective and can serve its intended
purpose of providing aid in capturing motorcycle riders who do not wear a helmet. The
results, through evaluation, suggest that the system is functional and is working based on
the objectives, yet it is upgradable with hardware and software advancements. Moreover,
the findings on the evaluation of professional respondents on the system show satisfaction
with the overall function of the system with recommendations in improving the low-light
detection capability, detection rate optimization, and webpage security enhancement. The
system can only detect the most effective within the speed limit of 20kph and the detection
rate of the system is inversely proportional to the speed of the motorcycle due to processor
limitations. In accordance with the hardware restraints, the device can only detect a
maximum of three motorcycles with optimal detection. Detection in low-light conditions
was less effective compared with the detection rate in optimal conditions. The proponents
conducted a comparison testing between raspberry pi and a laptop, the efficiency of the
detection rate of the laptop is significantly more effective. The calculated average delay of
the notifications of the webpage and the text messages are 5.4 seconds and 12.18
seconds, respectively. The average accuracy of the device from tests with a total of 1050
motorcycles is 76.09%.
Conclusions
The researchers concluded that Motorcycle Rider Helmet Detection Using Image
Processing achieved its objectives in terms of functionality. The officers who are involved
in checkpoint operations have assessed that the system is easy to use, efficient, and able
to help keep evidence of violators. The system was able to detect no-helmet motorcycle
riders and sends a notification through a website and text message. In accordance with
the tests results and evaluations, the end-user respondents assessed the system as
“Good” and the experts were “Satisfied” with the overall function of the system with
recommended improvements in terms of optimization of the detection rate of the raspberry
pi, improvement on low-light detection capability, and webpage security.

Recommendations
The product of the study was able to meet the requirements in terms of its purpose
and features. The system can still be improved by upgrading hardware components. A
more powerful microprocessor can enhance the speed of the system. Subsequently, a
better camera will also improve the resolution of the captured photo, so other details can
be clearer, and the captured image will not be blurred. The webpage can still be improved
by further development like adding a filter function where the user can filter the date and
time of the saved images for faster navigation. The security of the website can still be
upgraded to prevent internet breaches and avoid loss or theft of data.
