Motorcycle Helmet Crash Detection/Prevention System, David Witsaman
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This project proposes a motorcycle safety system that increases safety by actively helping to prevent crashes while also helping in the case that an accident does occur. The system actively helps prevent accidents by keeping the user’s eyes on the road with three additions to the typical helmet. The helmet has a heads-up-display (HUD) containing the speed of the motorcycle and turn-by-turn directions. Instead of tilting their head down the user can see their speed and directions by moving their eyes which will keep the road in their field of view. Blind-spot detection increases the user’s overall awareness of their …

The purpose of this project is to create a pothole detection device that can be attached to the underside of a commercial vehicle. Potholes cost motorists around 6.4 billion dollars annually, thus demonstrating the need for a system to aid with the detection and reporting of potholes. The four systems we needed to consider for the implementation of this project were the power system, the sensing system, the data processing system, and the reporting and logging system. Power pulled from the vehicle will enable the sensors and data processing module. The data processing module will analyze the readings from the …
