Amongst motorcyclists, studies suggest that the use of helmets reduces the risk of fatal injuries by 42% and head injuries by 69%. Ensuring the use of helmets in such scenarios is essential. There have been studies on the use of sensor-based helmets for safety (1). However, efforts on foolproofing the use of helmets are scarce. Hence, a force-sensitive resistor-based mechanism is proposed in this research to ensure that the user wears a helmet while riding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
