Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to helmet safety compliance systems for use in personal transportation ride-share systems. A rider safety compliance system, may include a personal transport upon which a user can be transported, a physical lock mechanism securely mounted on the personal transport and mechanically adapted to lock and secure a helmet, and a processor adapted to release the helmet from the physical lock mechanism as a pre-determined action for allowing the user to activate the personal transport.

A swing training device is provided. The swing training device embodies a mask adapted to place an aperture at a predefined focal length in front of the eyes of the athlete. The mask is adapted to attach to various headgear. The mask provides guides for selectively retaining diaphragms with their own diaphragmatic apertures over the aperture.

An air inflatable and thus collapsible when air is removed, safety helmet preferably comprised of multiple inflatable lobes with a head conforming and surrounding inflatable ring and separate or integrated skull cap, for wear by the user, for placement on top of the lobes and/or for location within the chamber(s) formed of the lobes, or worn by the wearer directly upon the head, made of flexible, force absorbing and dissipating material. The lobes and ring are provided with quick release air inflation and deflation valves. The safety helmet can simply alternatively comprise air inflatable lobes with a minimally elastic outer covering to encase and minimize the movement or air within the chambers during a collision.

A hyperthermia headgear liner is provided comprised of an insulative material constructed to minimize exposures to fibrous materials an remove any habitat for bacterial growth. The cap extends over a greater portion of a wearer's forehead, over the wearer's ears and behind the head to reach as far as the top of the cervical spine. Lining the upper portion of the inner shell are a plurality of linearly aligned pockets formed of an open weave of mesh fabric. Each individual pocket contains and secures a cooling element formed of a phase change material. The cooling elements are removable and replaceable and are positioned along the midline of the head covering in a manner that form fittingly curves with the contour of the wearers head.

Rider location and acceleration sharing systems are provided herein. For instance, a system is paired with a wireless transceiver, mountable to or within headwear that outputs location data and accelerometer data associated with the user identity to a user device. Once members of the group of user devices are validated for movement together, an emergency event associated with a member of the group may be identified based on the accelerometer data or the location data, and, in response to the emergency event, emergency event data is sent to the respective other user devices, and other information is enabled to be received from any of the respective other user devices.

A light-emitting system is provided which is removably attachable to headgear for personal illumination to enhance visibility of the user to others. The light-emitting system includes a housing that defines a receiving aperture and is configured to surround a portion of the headgear when the light-emitting system is removably attached to the headgear for use. The light-emitting system further includes at least one lens and a plurality of lighting elements coupled to the annular housing which are configured to selectively generate a halo or at least a partial halo of light that radiates outwardly away from the annular housing through the at least one lens to provide enhanced personal illumination.

The present invention provides a smart helmet falling detection method and a smart helmet. The falling detection method includes following steps: initializing a system, determining a free fall, determining a collision, determining motionlessness, and generating an emergency signal according to a detection result that a motionlessness event occurs within a fourth duration after the collision event occurs. The smart helmet includes a three-axis acceleration sensor and a controller. For the smart helmet falling detection method and the smart helmet provided in the present invention, the acceleration is measured by the three-axis acceleration sensor installed on the smart helmet, and whether a riding falling event occurs is determined by analyzing change of the acceleration, and alarm is given according to the falling event, such that the problem of falling detection and calling for help in a riding process is solved in a targeted manner.

An advanced warning light system in a motorcycle has a brake light comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) wherein each LED is configured to illuminate a first color when a motorcycle brake is depressed and wherein only a subset of LEDs are configured to illuminate when the motorcycle is decelerating not in response to the brake being depressed. The system further has a controller area network (CAN) bus for transmitting messages, at least one controller configured for monitoring operations of a motorcycle, the at least one controller further configured for transmitting a message on the CAN bus when a monitored operation occurs on the motorcycle, the message comprising data indicating that the vehicle is slowing down, and a CAN bus interface configured to receive the message from the CAN bus and determine if the brake is being depressed or if the motorcycle is slowing down not in response to the brake being depressed, the CAN bus interface configured to transmit a message to illuminate all LEDs on the brake light if the brake is being depressed and configured to transmit a message to illuminate only the subset of LEDs on the brake light if the motorcycle is slowing down for a reason other than the brake being depressed. Additionally, the system has a processor configured for receiving the message from the CAN bus interface, the processor further configured for illuminating the brake light or a subset of the LEDs on the brake light based upon the message received to indicate to a driver following the motorcycle that the motorcycle is slowing down.

A method of synchronizing flashing of a plurality of marker systems includes within each marker system of the plurality of marker systems, receiving a signal from at least one global positioning satellite, the signal comprising a time value. Then, when initiating illumination of at least one light emitting device of the marker systems, synchronizing of the initiating illumination to the time value.

An alert and response helmet system for temporarily disabling in a non-lethal manner in order to take a wanted individual into custody without placing the life of an officer in danger, the alert and response helmet system including; a pair of glasses to be worn by the officer; the glasses including a camera which photographs an individual and obtains facial and or an iris scan of the individual. The glasses further including an earphone and a communication device which communicates with the officer. A processor processes the camera image and a database provides information relating to whether the processed images correspond to a wanted individual. A helmet worn by the officer includes a non-lethal but temporarily disabling device which causes a wanted individual to be temporarily disabled to give the officer time to draw their weapon before the wanted individual can draw a weapon.
