MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043093 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West BengalB, on April 4, for 'an ai-enabled smart helmet for accident detection, drunk-driving prevention, air pollution monitoring, and automated emergency response.'
Inventor(s) include Subhankar Sarkar; Aritra Saha; Soubhagya Das; Divyaansi Singh; Ankita Barua; Swarnali Daw; and Shubhendu Banerjee.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an AI-enabled smart helmet system designed to provide integrated accident detection, sobriety enforcement, and environmental monitoring for two-wheeler riders. The system incorporates a protective shell housing a microcontroller-based processing unit, motion sensors (accelerometer/gyroscope), an alcohol detection sensor, air pollution sensors, and a helmet-wearing verification mechanism. Using AI-based algorithms, the helmet classifies impact events and automatically initiates emergency communication via GPS and cellular modules upon detecting a severe accident. Additionally, the system includes an ignition interlock interface that prevents vehicle operation if the rider is intoxicated or fails to wear the helmet properly. Real-time environmental alerts are provided through a non-intrusive interface, and all data is synchronized with a mobile/cloud platform for comprehensive safety and health management."
