New design and fabrication of smart helmet

Abstract

We propose a new design of a smart helmet. It is easy-to-fabricate and can be mass produced on a large scale. Its casing will be made out of carbon fiber for increased durability. A cooling towel will be integrated in the helmet to keep the wearer comfortable. Vents, with the mechanism to open/close them at the user's convenience, have also been incorporated into the design. A front light (for night time use), indicators, brake lights and a GPS unit have been incorporated into the design as well. All will be controlled via a Bluetooth unit. An audio unit (using bone-conducting headphones) can be used to play music or listen to directions. All electronics on board will be powered via a battery unit, the casing for which will be moulded within the case itself.
