1. Introduction. - Technological progress has revolutionized emergency management, making communication an
essential factor in improving response in critical situations, such as traffic accidents. Road safety regulations, promoted
by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN), highlight the importance
of having efficient communication systems that reduce response times in emergencies. These regulations underline the
need to incorporate advanced technologies into vehicular communication devices, thus ensuring their effectiveness
and reliability in difficult circumstances, which contributes significantly to road safety and the protection of lives. [1].
The highway via la Costa in Guayaquil, Ecuador, faces a recurring problem of traffic violations that complicate the
rapid response to accidents, affecting the effectiveness of emergency teams. To address this situation, it is proposed to
integrate advanced electronic circuitry and sensor systems into emergency communication on this road to improve the
transmission of vital data during critical incidents. This study justifies the need to innovate in intercom systems to
improve coordination and response to emergencies, contributing to the field of telecommunications engineering with
a solution adapted to local needs. [2].
This project has the potential to revolutionize road safety through an innovative system of emergency intercoms for
motorcycle helmets. Equipped with advanced technology, the system accurately detects falls and collisions using
proximity sensors and ultrasound. In the event of detecting a collision, the system automatically makes a call and sends
a message to an emergency contact, while, for accident prevention, it sends notifications to the driver to avoid
collisions. Experimental tests will be carried out at the Centenario Campus of the Salesian Polytechnic University of
Guayaquil, using an Arduino UNO R3 and a GSM SIM900L module to simulate accident scenarios. [3], [4].
This approach seeks to optimize response times in critical cases, improve the reliability and adaptability of the system
in various environments, and increase road safety. The system's ability to operate at specific distances and its speed of
response ensure efficient communication, significantly reducing risk and providing drivers with a reliable tool to
protect their well-being on the road, thus setting a new safety standard and contributing to accident prevention, saving
lives and reducing property damage. [3], [4].
The experimental methodology to design a risk prevention circuit for motorcycle helmets through the integration of
advanced detection and warning technologies is based on the use of the Arduino UNO R3 Board, GSM SIM900L
Modules, and proximity sensors. Initially, individual tests of each component will be carried out to ensure its
functionality, followed by its integration into a prototype using a Protoboard board and suitable connections. [5], [6].
C++ programming will develop algorithms that respond to data in real time, triggering alerts through a buzzer and
LEDs. In addition, an exhaustive review of the literature will be carried out to identify the most effective technologies,
which will guide the design of C++ software that manages the communication between sensors and the GSM module
SIM900L. Detailed simulations will assess the detection capability and accuracy in generating alerts, ensuring that the
system responds efficiently to emergencies, with key parameters such as response speed measured and compared to
predetermined criteria. [7].
1.1 Related Jobs. - The Arduino Uno R3 board, which has been used to teach electronics and programming,
demonstrates the ability of this microcontroller to simplify the learning of complex concepts. It was taken as a reference
because it mentions the use of each pin that was used and thus able to connect it to the circuit, where each pin of the
board has an interface to make it work. [8].
To program the Arduino software, you will take coding examples found in the articles and load them onto the board.
The Arduino stands out for its versatility, used in both vehicle safety projects and education. The ease of use and
extensive support community make it ideal for both beginners and advanced projects. [9].
The Arduino is also used, as in the article, to integrate voice recognition technologies into vehicular communication
systems, demonstrating its versatility in critical communication applications. In this article, it is used for sensor
management and emergency communication, which focuses on data transmission to improve the interaction between
emergency vehicles [10], [11].
The GSM SIM900 module is one of the elements that stand out in the prototype because its function is to send and
receive SMS messages, make calls, and connect to the internet through a network next to the Arduino.
This article [12] Uses the GSM SIM900L module to send real-time alerts to homeowners when an intrusion or
suspicious activity is detected in the home. The system is based on IoT technology and uses a network of sensors to
