MASQ Motorcycle Security System

The MASQ Motorcycle Safety System has different functionalities:

1 - Warns the rider if the helmet is not buckled. The helmet has a minicomputer installed. At start up the system checks if the helmet is buckled.

The helmet sends the status to the motorcycle embedded system which will text the GPS coordinates of the current location to an emergency number.
