NEXT GEN
MOTO PROTECTION.

Safety First.

Motorcyclists are exposed to many hazardous elements while traveling at speed, including road debris, insects, hearing damage, and weather conditions. Helmet protection is essential when riding. To help improve safety and ensure the most comfortable riding experience possible. Apollo aims to achieve success in the development of a well-articulated smart helmet. A smart helmet for riders by riders.

Rear-facing ultrasonic sensors detect nearby vehicles and send data to the Arduino alerting the rider of blind spot threats using purposefully blue-colored LEDs placed in the rider's peripherals.

Enhanced Safety Features.

The intergraded "shark gills" help manage airflow across the surface near the ear to help minimize hazardous noise by diffusing rushing air through the cavity.

"The design of the Apollo is based on the revolutionary gill slits, utilizing aerodynamic management. This choice of protection is strategic: it requires no power for its effectiveness and adds a unique visual appearance."

"Streamlined shapes, strategically placed vents, and spoilers to control airflow and reduce turbulence. These features enhance stability, awareness, and contribute to a quieter riding experience by minimizing wind noise inside the helmet, further protecting the rider's hearing health."

Collar bone clearance is crucial in motorcycle helmet design to enhance rider safety, comfort, and mobility. By providing sufficient clearance around the collarbone, helmets can minimize the risk of further injury.

A large field of view is essential in motorcycle helmet design to enhance rider safety by providing a broader and more natural view. It enables riders to maintain better situational awareness and confidence.

"Situational awareness is crucial when riding a motorcycle, blindspot detection can allow riders to better understand the traffic around them allowing for safe and quick lane changes and accident avoidance."

TYPE

To me, making a prototype meant it also had to be functional. the different hardware prototypes were developed. The final model utilized an Arduino feather microcontroller wired up all the hardware and developed all the software in C++.

The final prototype comprises six 3D-printed sections bonded together, featuring a custom wiring harness for all the electronics. It includes two ultrasonic sensors, one microcontroller, six LED indicators, one temperature and humidity sensor, one microblower, and one servo motor.
