Motorcycle accidents have been rapidly growing throughout the years in many countries. Due to various social and economic factors, this type of vehicle is becoming increasingly popular. The helmet is the main safety equipment of motorcyclists, however many drivers do not use it. The main goal of helmet is to protect the drivers head in case of accident. In case of accident, if the motorcyclist does not use can be fatal. This paper aims to propose a system for detection of motorcyclist without helmet. For this, we have applied the circular Hough transform and the Histogram of Oriented Gradients descriptor to extract the image attributes. Then, the MultiLayer Perceptron classifier was used and the obtained results were compared with others algorithms. Traffic images were captured by cameras from public roads and constitute a database of 255 images. Indeed, the algorithm step regarding the helmet detection accomplished an accuracy rate of 91.37%.
