MindRider - Helmet reads the driver's ability

MindRider is a smart bike helmet, invented by MIT researchers.

Technology of cars and motorcycles is developing constantly, to meet the needs of users and bring the most comfortable feeling when using. In addition to these advanced technologies, the technology developed for bicycles is equally concerned. Recently, MIT researchers introduced a unique project, researching and manufacturing a thinking bicycle helmet for thinking, to set the route and bring out Best experience for cyclists.

This special hat called MindRider , with electrodes attached to the underside of the hat, can monitor the mood and anxiety level of the operator. Later, these signals will be transmitted to a device, which can be a smartphone with its own application, to record your mood on different routes.

The signals from the helmet will be transmitted via bluetooth connection to your phone, combined with GPS data this application can create a map of the status of cyclists. This map shows the routes they have traveled, and displays the green spots but where cyclists feel happiest and most comfortable when passing.

Besides, the red spots show the operator's anxiety and anxiety, which shows unsafe routes. These data will then be saved and when cyclists pass a marked route, the LED on the car helmet turns color to warn riders of unsafe roads.

The MindRider project has been in development for over a year now, the research team is still looking for funding on the kickstarter website, to be able to finalize the final designs before bringing it to market . The data collected from cyclists on MindRider helmets can then be shared with others, or can be used by city managers to help improve roads that are safe. Fuller.
