Smart helmet ensures bike won't start unless you wear it
Four engineering students from Pune have designed a unique helmet that ensures that your bike will not start unless you are wearing all the safety gears. The helmet has been designed by third year diploma students using a FM receiver and transmitter system, DNA reported.
The students have fitted a battery operated transmitter system and a small antenna in the rear of the helmet and a switch has been fitted inside the panel of the helmet. The FM receiver with an antenna is fitted near the ignition coil on the bike and this antenna has been connected to the battery and relay system of the bike.
Once you will wear the helmet it will press the inside panel switch, signalling the transmitter that the biker is ready for a ride. The transmitter then signals the receiver on the bike, which in-turn sends signal to relay system to ignite the ignition coil and the bike gears into action.
On how the idea was developed, Sanket Kulkarni, who is part of the team, said: "How to make it mandatory for people to wear helmets and comply by road safety rules, posed a unique challenge to us. After a lot of brain storming, we ended with ride-safe-or-no-ride idea. Our work involved experimenting with sophisticated equipment and refining number of times, till we got the right-end results."
Another student, Tejas Menon said that they can use sensor technology to make the design more effective. "We hope that our innovation inspires people to use helmets and make their bike ride a safer experience," he said. The other students who worked on the project are Vaibhav Jagtap and Kiran Kolekar.
