"Everywhere Intelligent Helmet" Team was directed by Prof. Wan-Rong Chang of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Prof. Zong-Yue Tsai of Business Management Department, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Students of the Department of Electronic Engineering—Guo-Hong Bao, Shao-Shing Chao, and Yu-Rui Chong—were responsible for the technical part, while students of Business Management Department—Jin-Ying Chen, Chian-shih Lin, and Ting-Lin Cheng were responsible for marketing part. The work is composed of infrared sensors, camera modules, and microprocessors for the purpose of proactively detecting and reminding the motorcycle rider of any large vehicle close to him or her in the rear. When a large vehicle gets closer, the helmet will immediately notify the rider with its loudspeakers, so that the rider can get far away from it as early as possible keep himself safe. The design can reduce the mortality of riders in traffic accidents. The design, both innovative and practical, has won the second prize in the IOT Cross-Strait Application Group and the Electronic Information Technology Application Group.
