MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641122967 A) filed by Psna College Of Engineering And Technology on October 14, 2026, for Adaptive Smart Helmet Airbag System For Cooperative Motorcycle Accident Detection.
Inventors include Dr. Arockia Raj Y; Mahesh Babu B; Karthik Kumar V C; and Mohamed Akil N.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: An adaptive smart helmet airbag system for cooperative motorcycle accident detection comprises front-mounted and main motorcycle motion sensors wired to a motorcycle controller. The motorcycle controller evaluates both sensor inputs and transmits suspected-accident information through a paired Bluetooth Low Energy link to a helmet controller. The helmet controller evaluates the received information together with helmet inertial measurements and a helmet-wear state determined through capacitive head-presence sensing and Hall-effect chin-strap sensing. When predefined deployment conditions are satisfied, an electrical trigger activates an inflator connected to a single-chamber airbag stored in an external lower-rear helmet housing outside the impactabsorbing liner. The airbag expands toward neck-adjacent, shoulder and upper-back regions, with a rear portion extending toward the middle ribcage. The system additionally provides helmetbattery and connection-status display, helmet replacement pairing, and automatic reconnection.
