Traffic accidents involving motorcycle riders are often caused by a lack of education on road safety. One of the primary factors contributing to traffic accidents is rider negligence, which accounts for the largest percentage at 61%. Traffic accidents can result in severe injuries. One way to prevent severe injuries during an accident is by using safety riding equipment, such as helmets, while riding. Therefore, this study proposes a system for detecting helmet violations and recognizing license plates, which can facilitate the communication of information to the authorities. The detection system utilizes a CNN algorithm with the YOLO model to detect riders, helmets, no-helmets, and vehicle license plates. This research will implement a violation detection and license plate recognition system by deploying an IP Camera to record objects in real-time using dummy violation data. The system also employs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text from detected license plates, which will then be sent as notifications via the Telegram application. The YOLOv8 model training achieved an mAP score of 84.2%, with the accuracy for each class as follows: rider accuracy at 94%, no-helmet accuracy at 93%, license plate accuracy at 93%, and helmet accuracy at 87%. The license plate recognition system operates optimally at a distance of 1 to 5 meters, with an accuracy of 93.7% at 1 meter, 65% at 2 meters, 90% at 3 meters, 62.5% at 4 meters, and 51.7% at 5 meters.

Publication decisions
The editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published.

An editor at any time evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality
The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
