Problem & Solution - Road accidents in India cause one teenager death every hour, often involving two-wheelers and linked to speeding or lack of helmets [3] - In 2019, not wearing helmets caused approximately 45,000 deaths, nearly 30% of all road accident fatalities [4] - WHO reports correct helmet use could reduce fatal injuries by 42% and head injuries by approximately 70% [5] - The company addresses this by developing a low-cost smart helmet with features like GPS, geo-fencing, fall detection, and air quality sensors [5][6] Product Features & Technology - The smart helmet uses bio-based nylon and 3D-printed liners for varied head sizes, with replaceable pods for sustainability [7] - It includes real-time location tracking, geo-fencing alerts, a gamified fitness tracker, a built-in walkie-talkie, and a fall detection system with an SOS alert [8][9] - Future plans involve strengthening the fall detection system with multi-sensor fusion and AI-powered insights to detect risky behaviors and provide personalized safety advice [10][13] Design & Durability - The helmet is designed to be fun and interactive with badges, rewards, and achievements to promote safe riding [11] - Electronics are housed in dustproof and waterproof enclosures with weather-resistant materials to withstand heat, dust, and rain [12]
