MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133972 A) filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology, Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'a defensive smart helmet for real-time obstacle detection during motorcycle drive.'
Inventor(s) include P. Boopathi Raj An; N. Sumathi; and S. C. Lavanya.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A Defensive Smart Helmet during motorcycle drive uses sensor technologies, advanced data processing algorithms, and seamless communication capabilities for real-time obstacle detection and provide perilous information to the rider while driving the motorcycle. The defensive smart helmet consists of various sensors, such as LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras, deliberately positioned to scan the surroundings continuously. A data processing unit attached with the helmet will process the data gathered from these in real-time using the obstacle detection algorithm. The system will identify and categorize the obstacles, including pedestrians, vehicles, stones, trees, animals and road hazards effective! y. When an obstacle is detected, the defensive smart helmet delivers timely alerts to the rider through multiple ways. Vibrations or LED indicators or Audio warnings inform the rider of the nature and immediacy of the detected obstacle. This will enable the rider to facilitate quick and safe decision-making. It is designed to be connected to the rider's smartphone via Bluetooth or other wireless technologies and also it improves obstacle detection accuracy by enabling the defensive helmet to access GPS data, map information, and receive real-time updates on traffic conditions. The defensive helmet automatically triggers emergency services and pre-loaded contacts when an accident occurs. The main motive is to reduce the occurrence of accidents and encourage safer driving practices while driving two wheelers."
