MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049230 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 17, for 'iot-enabled smart helmet system using multimodal data fusion for predictive safety and maintenance.'
Inventor(s) include Bhuvaneswari P; Rohith K; Shanmugeshwaran B; Madhumitha M; Shreelekhaa M; and Sivashree S.
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 a smart helmet safety system that enhances rider safety through multimodal sensing, cooperative control, and predictive maintenance. The system comprises a helmet unit including an infrared sensing module, an alcohol sensing module, and an inertial sensing module configured to generate rider compliance, intoxication, and motion data. A local processing unit fuses sensor outputs to produce a unified safety status signal, which is wirelessly transmitted to a vehicle unit. The vehicle unit selectively enables or restricts ignition and engine operation based on the received safety status. An IoT communication module transmits safety events, emergency alerts, and maintenance notifications to a remote platform accessible via a mobile application. Abnormal motion events trigger automatic emergency notifications with location information. Continuous monitoring of sensor behavior enables predictive maintenance to identify degradation prior to failure. The invention provides proactive accident prevention, automated safety enforcement, and improved operational reliability."
