Smart Helmet

Problem

‘Global status report on road safety 2018’ by WHO says, “Head injuries are the leading cause of death and major trauma for two- and three-wheeled motor vehicle users. Correct helmet use can lead to a 42% reduction in the risk of fatal injuries and a 69% reduction in the risk of head injuries. The use of helmets is, as such, an increasingly important means of preventing road traffic deaths. Best practice for motorcycle helmet laws includes a requirement for drivers and passengers to wear a helmet on all roads, a specification that helmets should be fastened, and a reference to a helmet standard.”

Though there are laws of Helmet use, riders are not wearing the helmet while driving the motorcycle and people lose their lives in accidents.

Can I save the lives of these victims?
Is any solution to this misbehave of riders?
Can I innovate any device, which will make the rider wear the helmet compulsory?

Solution

By considering these conditions, I tried to find the solution to this situation. And I innovated SMART HELMET. When a rider will wear this SMART HELMET and fix the chin strap, then only his bike will START. If he tries to remove the helmet while riding , the bike will STOP. Also if the rider is drunk, the bike will not START. By this way I can save his life in case of any mishap.

This have following features:

Simple Design
Low Cost
Low power consumption
Alcohol Sensor
Compatible with any 2 wheeler design
works for both kik start and button start
No side effects on human body

I participated in many Science Exhibitions with this Innovation and was appreciated by many.

Most important achievement in my journey happened at Indian Science Congress, Jammu. Hon Ex President of India A P J Abdul Kalam mentioned my innovation in his opening speech. He mentioned that, ‘Innovate for Society like Amey’.
