Rumble Helmet Functional Prototype
Donation protected
Rumble Helmet is a smart bicycle helmet that has an embedded adaptive light system consisting of front flash light, back light, turn signals, and uniquely designed sidelights to communicate the cyclists' intentions to other road users. The light system can be activated using hand signals. The smart helmet can detect vehicle presence in the cyclist's blind spot. Moreover, it can be paired with a mobile navigation application. This invention has a utility patent and design paten granted.
The money will be used to build a fully functional prototype that can be used to showcase the product to potential customers and investors.
My ultimate goal is to make every bicycle ride in the world safer, in order to prevent accidents similar to the one I has when I was riding my bicycle in the evening and stopped at a traffic light next to a car. I wanted to turn left and the car driver wanted to go straight ahead. Although I did the appropriate hand signal, I had an accident with the car because the driver couldn't see it due to poor ambient illumination. I asked my cycling group and most of them faced similar problem, so I went online to do a research about bicycle accidents and found out that the most common cause of bicycle accidents is lack of proper communication with other road users. Then, I made an online survey and shared it with cyclists groups in different parts of the US to prove the problem existence and found out that 98% of the cyclists who filled the form suffer from poor visibility problem and lack of proper intention communication method.
Let's make every bicycle ride safer together!
