INTRODUCTION
We wear helmets to protect ourselves from injury, but how much
more they do in their everyday use?
Lumie Helmet turns the helmet into a display through which we can
communicate, express and play. It helps us explore how this can
make cycling and riding safer.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The number of fatalities resulting from road accidents involving cy-
clists and motorcyclists in Malaysia increases gradually especially in
poor visible situations.
Driver fails to see the indicator signal during traffic congestion due
to blind spot and on a rainy day.
OBJECTIVES
To prevent the failure of drivers to read the indicator signal send by
other cyclists and motorcyclists during traffic congestion due to blind
spot and on a rainy day.

Equip with lighter, rechargeable and high current capaci-
ty lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries for longer usage peri-
od.
Equip with LUXEON LED for better brightness with less
power consumption.
Equip solar panel onto the helmet as alternate power
supply.

APPLICATION
The Lumie Helmet is based on standard helmet fitted with
lights powered by eight AA batteries and a sensor that detects
movement of the user’s head.
The front light can be switched on
and off, brightness can be con-
trolled with the pushbutton.
LED strips at the right blink when
angle tilted exceeds 20 degrees to
the right.
LED strips at the left blink when
angle tilted exceeds 20 degrees to
the left.
LED strips at the back blink when
angle tilted exceeds 25 degrees to
the back.
