Executive Summary
Mobility Challenge Question
How might we design a better way for Kevin to commute independently while making his parents feel
reassured ?
Goals: To allow for more children in Kevins situation to safely explore the world on their bikes
independently without having to continually rely on their parents.
Objective: To design a feasible mobility solution (Smart Helmet) for Kevin that incorporates his
independence as well as attending to his parents safety concerns.
Cheap to manufacture: Use of existing technologies integrated into helmet makes it cheaper to
manufacture.
There is a need for safety: Current bicycle helmets only minimize the damage to the user. Our
helmet seeks to also prevent an impending accident/crash, while adding other features that make riding
easier for the user.

Short Term :
Long Term :
Set the future trend for the integration of a smart transportation ecosystem
Reduction of overall fuel emissions (people drive less)
Set the trend for younger children and teenagers to travel independently and
mature earlier as they explore more of the world on their own
