James Dyson award for motorcycle helmet


Three IIT-BHU students (Naman Singhal, Rishabh Babeley, Jagjeet Shyamkunwar, Vikram Kumar Jha) have come up with a motorcycle helmet that aims to reduce the risk of death by almost 40 per cent. It has been designed with two modules in the product, one is in helmet and the second module is fitted onto the motorcycle.

The helmet gets switched on by putting the strap and the sensor inside the helmet, which detects the presence of a human. This ensures that the driver is wearing a helmet before sending a signal wirelessly to the motorcycle to turn on. Accelerometer and crash sensors detect accidents and send information to nearby emergency services, indicating them of the crash location.
