AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The helmet light bar system effectively communicates deceleration information to motorists, enhancing safety by providing visible alerts both day and night, thereby reducing the risk of collisions and associated injuries or fatalities.

Problems solved by technology

Motor vehicle accidents occur every day, resulting in varying degrees of injury or, too often, death.
The costs of motor vehicle accidents include property damage, lost earnings, lost household production, medical costs, emergency services, travel delay, vocational rehabilitation, workplace costs, administrative and legal costs, pain and loss of life.
Many crashes between motorists and motorcycles are a result of abrupt deceleration of a motorcycle which is not perceived by motorists trailing the motorcycle.
The use of motorcycles and other motorized vehicles imposes risks of death or permanent impairment.
The lack of visual indication of the deceleration of a motorcycle is a significant safety issue for all riders of motorcycles.
