Abstract

In the realm of motorcycle safety, helmets have undergone significant advancements, incorporating features such as accident detection, SOS alerts, and alcohol detection to enhance rider safety. However, in the diverse and extreme seasonal variations of the Indian subcontinent, additional challenges arise. To address these challenges, we introduce the Weather-Adaptive Smart Helmet, a smart concept. This innovative helmet offers three fundamental solutions for rider safety and comfort. It is equipped with an automatic light-resistant visor, ensuring optimal vision and eye protection during intense sunlight and scorching heat waves. The helmet also includes an efficient ventilation system, maintaining riders’ comfort by optimizing airflow, regardless of weather conditions. In monsoon conditions, a detachable rain cover deploys automatically upon detecting rainfall, safeguarding the rider’s possessions. The primary goal of this system is to enhance the two-wheeler riding experience, giving riders the confidence to navigate diverse weather conditions while prioritizing their safety and comfort.
