Thailand has the second highest rate of road deaths in the world, according go BBDO Bangkok, and 80 per cent of motorcyclist fatalities occur on rural roads, with the danger increasing when riders ride alone, or at night.

According to the campaign, head injury causes riders to lose their consciousness, leaving them unable to call for help. To combat this the agency, in cooperation with ThaiHealth’s Road Safety Project, created Helpmet, a helmet that can detect a serious head impact and call for help when riders are unconscious.

Currently, accident reporting processes are voice-based, which depends on the victim or passersby, so the solution was to create a more immediate and responsive digital method.

In terms of technology, it features a built-in Piezo shock sensor, GPS and GSM Cellular technology. With the shock sensor, if the head impact is measured and exceeds 95 g-force, a dangerous level that leads to unconsciousness, an emergency SMS will be sent by Helpmet to the National Emergency Centre. The rider’s emergency contact will be sent in real-time, with the rider’s geolocation and important health information, such as blood type, medical record, and insurance information, that the rider has registered in the website.
