Abstract
Motorcycles have a higher rate of fatal accidents than cars or trucks and buses. With the increase in the commonness of motorcycling, the safety of the riders has become an issue. Hence crash guards have become a necessary safety measure for motorcycles. But the crash guards available have a fixed and broad frame, this makes maneuvering through dense traffic difficult. Although subjective, some riders remove crash guards because it affects the motorcycle's appearance. This system proposes varying width crash guards. The crash guard has two modes retracted and extended. The crash guard ideally remains in retracted mode but, if the motorcycle crosses the threshold roll angle, the crash guard extends. Accelerometer sensor is used for sensing the roll angle of the motorcycle and, motors are used to extend and retract the crash guard. This system will prevent the motorcycle from falling on the rider's leg and protect its engine in case of an accident.
