In many developing countries, motorcycles are one of the most common modes of transportation. Unfortunately, the number of motorcycle-related accidents has been increasing in recent years, with the lack of helmet usage being a major contributor to fatalities. Traditionally, helmet enforcement is carried out manually by traffic police at road junctions or by reviewing CCTV footage to identify violators. However, these methods are labor-intensive and require continuous human involvement. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes an automated system that detects motorcyclists who are not wearing helmets and identifies their vehicle registration numbers from CCTV footage. The system begins by classifying moving objects as either motorcycles or non-motorcycles. Once a motorcycle is detected, it analyzes the rider's head region to determine whether a helmet is present. If a helmet is not detected, the system proceeds to locate the motorcycle's number plate and uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract the characters for further.
