  • Airbag control system for motorcycle helmets

    Description

    Motorcycle airbag control electronics. It consists of two elements, one placed on the vehicle and the other in the helmet. The system works by analysing the signal provided by an accelerometer and detecting the potential risk situations.

    Thanks to advanced signal processing the cases where there is no risk for the user are safely ignored. The communication between the two parts is done through encrypted RF packets. The airbag is activated in less than 70ms. Support for simultaneously activating 2 helmets. Low power mode increases unit autonomy.
