Cosmo1

Just in time for the spring release of Motorcycles, Mopeds and other electronic two wheeled vehicles comes the Cosmo Connected mobile helmet brake light. French company Cosmo Connected have developed a light weight polycarbonate and EPDM mobile helmet that helps alert when a deceleration of a motorcycle driver occurs.

Whether, New York, Paris, Toronto, or some smaller city, it is easy to see why driving a motorcycle safely can be challenging. In the city or on the highway, whether you are driving a motorcycle or a car, it is common place to witness a serious motorcycle accident. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that, between 1997 and 2008, annual motorcycle fatalities in the United States increased by 150 per cent. And so to show this trend has not decreased, recent stats show that total of 4,693 motorcyclists died in crashes in 2015 which accounted for 13 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths. Riders 40 years old plus accounted for the majority of these fatalities.

The Cosmo Connected helmet Brake Light clips on and off of with a base magnetic base affixed to the back of the helmet. The Helmet Brake Light pairs with any iOS or Android phone via the magic of BLE Bluetooth Low Energy.

The LEDs attached to a motorcyclist’s helmet leverage a built-in gyroscope to determine if the rider has shown down, been in an accident or has fallen over. At first the App will try to reach the driver. If the rider does not respond within three minutes, it contacts family and friends and sends GPS coordinates to emergency responders along with the medical profile of the driver.
