Helmet Collision Safety System

Abstract

A helmet collision safety system is provided, designed to measure, analyze, and communicate impact forces experienced during sports activities to mitigate concussion risks. The system comprises an accelerometer, gyroscope, and at least one MEMS sensor strategically placed around a helmet to detect linear and rotational forces caused by impacts. A processor analyzes sensor data using an impact differentiation algorithm, classifying impacts into a three-tier severity system with corresponding visual and alert responses. The system integrates machine learning to refine impact assessments and utilizes wireless communication for real-time data transmission to a smartphone application, which manages alerts, logs impact history, and provides geo-tagging for incident tracking. Additional features include a rechargeable battery with USB-C and wireless charging options, customizable user profiles, and emergency contact integration to enhance safety and response efficiency.
