Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020165810A1] A structure for personal protection, driving assistance and signalling, characterized in that it comprises at least: a personal protection device incorpo- rating road signals for vehicles on the road, sensors including at least one accel- erometer, and a control unit, a smartphone with dedicated application, one or more user devices, one or more vehicle devices, a wireless transmitter, a driving assistant; said user devices comprising at least one gyroscope and being config- ured to be worn by a user; said vehicle devices including a gyroscope and means of attachment to a vehicle; said wireless transmitter being connected to the vehicle control unit and transmitting via short-range radio frequency; when driving, said structure indicating braking, acceleration and deceleration of the ve- hicle; said structure independently activating said signals while driving, without action by the rider. The structure is embodied in a road helmet with position lights and turn, stop and emergency signals. The manner in which the signals are ar- ranged is that already approved, with orange portions at the sides and red in the middle. The technology uses LEDs with fades and frames that, when appropri- ately timed, enable depth effects. This enables not only braking but also acceler- ation and deceleration to be signalled. The on-board electronics enables the helmet, together with a smartphone and software, to activate signals along the road independently, without action by the rider. The structure is equipped with a driving assistant which assists the rider with three types of driving: automatic driving, the driving assistant knows where the rider wants to go, manages the turn signals and shows the way to the rider; semi-automatic driving, the driving assistant monitors the rider's driving on the map and turns on or suggests the turn signals; manual driving, the rider operates the turn signals; manual driving is always active and overrides the other driving modes and can be used in the fol- lowing ways: manual command; sound command, expressed with one whistle for the left turn, two whistles for the right turn; verbal command: used in the rider's own language with the expressions "right", "left"; motion command, expressed through slight movements of the head towards the turning direction, on the axis of rotation most comfortable for the rider; recorded command, the user can cus- tomize by using the microphone the sounds or words that will be used to turn on the turn signals.
