Enhancing Thermal Comfort for Motor Biker via PV and Peltier Module Mounted Helmet

This study addresses the development and application of a smart helmet cooling system that utilizes a Peltier module, aimed at enhancing two-wheeler riders’ safety and comfort in high-temperature environments. The system combines a TEC1-12706 thermoelectric cooler, a flexible solar panel, and rechargeable lithium batteries to create a dependable and environmentally friendly source of electricity. The Arduino Uno microcontroller is essential for overseeing and controlling the power supply, temperature, and overall system operation, using real-time data from embedded temperature sensors to maintain optimal cooling conditions. The system is designed to automatically switch between solar and battery power as needed, ensuring uninterrupted functioning. The obtained results illustrate the system's capacity to consistently maintain a stable and pleasant temperature within the helmet, emphasizing its potential for practical use in various conditions.
