While India is at present the most important marketplace for two-wheelers, our nation isn’t recognized to be on the forefront in the case of rider security. People driving with out a helmet just isn’t unusual on our roads and in a bid to fight this, Ola Electric is engaged on a helmet detection system for its electrical two-wheelers. 

Ola’s helmet detection system makes use of a digital camera to detect whether or not the rider is sporting a helmet or not. It then sends this data to the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU is to an EV what an ECU is to an ICE car) after which relayed to the Motor Control Unit which determines whether or not the car will swap to Ride mode or not.

If the car is in Ride mode and the system detects that the rider just isn’t sporting a helmet, the EV will mechanically swap to Park mode. Once the car is in Park mode, a notification will seem on the sprint to remind the rider to put on a helmet. Only if the system is ready to detect that the rider is sporting a helmet, will the VCU enable the electrical scooter/bike to change to Ride mode, and it’ll then proceed monitoring the rider.  

TVS additionally just lately introduced that it was engaged on a camera-based helmet reminder system, however the place Ola’s system will take it one step additional is that the car received’t be allowed to run if the rider isn’t sporting a helmet. In TVS’ case, solely a warning message is exhibited to the rider, and there was no point out of the car being locked in Park mode.
