Abstract : This study outlines the design and construction of an Automatic Helmet Sanitizer with Brush and Multi-Mode Payment System to enhance the helmet cleaning and convenience to the users of motorcycles. The system combines UV-C light sterilization, mechanical brushing, and mist disinfectant to adequately clean the interior and exterior parts of motorcycle helmets. To increase accessibility, the system accommodates various options of payment such as coin, QR based e-wallet, and cryptocurrency payments. The research design used was that of development, which involved laboratory testing, expert validation and user satisfaction survey to determine the performance of the systems. Findings indicated 80% sanitation efficiency, significantly reducing bacteria, fungi, and odor-producing microorganisms, which demonstrates its effectiveness in improving helmet hygiene. The overall mean score was 3.74 which was evaluated as a strong level of approval of the overall effectiveness of the system, its usability and payment capabilities. The results indicate that the suggested system is an effective, credible, and easy to use solution that has a good prospect of being applied in the real world in both the public and commercial environments.
