Abstract
The paper considers the issues of increasing the passive safety of motor vehicles. The designs of modern helmets are shown, the positive and negative sides are considered, and the systems of their certification are considered. Aspects of creating compact helmets and a conceptual folding helmet are discussed. The design of a folding helmet, the material for making it, is proposed.
Highlights
In the modern world, motorcycles are in great demand
Safety can be provided by using the elements of passive safety – These are properties of the design of the motorcycle and equipment that prevent or decrease the severity of injuries to the rider, passengers and other road users after an accident has already occurred
Passive safety is increased by the absence on the outer surface of sharp protrusions, corners, edges, the presence of energy-absorbing linings, secure load securing, the ability of rear-view mirrors to deform and break off without the formation of sharp protrusions and fragments
Summary
Safety can be provided by using the elements of passive safety – These are properties of the design of the motorcycle and equipment that prevent or decrease the severity of injuries to the rider, passengers and other road users after an accident has already occurred. Motorcycles have a weaker range of passive safety features less that of cars. In the field of human safety, helmet-wearing is required when riding a motorcycle, but everything else is optional. The helmet is inconvenient to carry outside the motorcycle and it is almost impossible to have a spare helmet for the passenger, since there is nowhere to put it. The purpose of the article is to develop proposals for creating a compact helmet that combines comfort, functionality and compactness without losing the properties of passive safety
