Abstract
Wearing a helmet reduces the potential for severe brain injury drastically. Despite it, most motorcycle riders are not opting for using a helmet. It is important to identify the requirements of the helmet users. There are many helmet design concepts, some of them already exist and some of them are in the initial development phase, which offers different benefits. The study reported in this paper refers to published relevant literature and feedback from the field to understand reasons for not using helmets by motorcycle riders. Also, requirements/needs which motorcycle helmet needs to fulfill are analyzed using the Kano model. Different helmet design concepts are studied for safety, comfort, the field of vision, hearing ability while using a helmet. Analytical Hierarchy Process tool used for ranking these four helmet design concepts and recommend possible changes to accommodate sustainability aspects in selected Airbag helmet design.
