MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048416 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 16, for 'ai-enabled smart helmet for enhanced rider safety and connectivity.'
Inventor(s) include Krishna Prakash R; Akilandeswari J; Gokulraj J; Santhosh Kumar C; Sankar V; Senthilraja R; Harini S; and Sahil Machindra Gaikwad.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an AI-enabled smart helmet (1) for enhancing rider safety and connectivity. The helmet integrates a plurality of sensors, including pressure sensors (2) and infrared proximity sensors (3) for helmet wear detection, an MQ-3 alcohol sensor (4) for breath analysis, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) (5) for motion and accident detection. A GPS module (6) monitors real-time location and speed, while communication modules (7, 9) provide GSM-based emergency alerts, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi intercom, and voice command functionality. An edge AI processing unit (11) executes machine learning algorithms for helmet wear classification, BAC estimation, crash detection, overspeed monitoring, voice recognition, and noise cancellation, while a microcontroller (10) manages data flow and power allocation. The system autonomously alerts the rider through bone conduction speakers (12) and transmits emergency notifications to hospitals and contacts upon detecting unsafe conditions. The invention provides a comprehensive, real-time, and autonomous solution to improve two-wheeler rider safety and situational awareness."
