How can smart helmets "save" takeaway riders?

Every day before and after meal time, we can see boys in yellow, blue, and red uniforms riding electric donkeys, shuttling back and forth in the streets and alleys, delivering steaming meals at extremely fast speeds. In the hands of hungry people. The rise and development of the takeout industry has changed the way countless people eat and created a huge number of new professions.

At present, the number of employees in my country's instant delivery industry has reached 20 million, accounting for 1.5% of the population base. The large number of riders and electric vehicles has also become a new source of high traffic accidents.How to use technological means to ensure the safety of takeaway riders has become an issue that many responsible companies are actively thinking about.

How many traffic accidents are caused by such a huge number of riders and electric vehicles?

Shanghai's "Announcement on Traffic Accidents in the City's Express Delivery Industry in the First Half of 2019" shows that in the first half of 2019 alone, a total of 325 road traffic accidents involving the express delivery and food delivery industries occurred in Shanghai, resulting in 5 deaths and 324 injuries. These are only the cases where the police were reported and data were recorded. There are countless cases of people who were knocked down and got up to continue delivering food, but were resolved privately.

The reasons can be found:On the one hand, this is because some food delivery riders have insufficient safety awareness and have a fluke mentality. They think that occasionally checking their mobile phones, replying to WeChat, or checking TikTok during riding is not risky; on the other hand, it is because of the riders’ own riding skills. The traveling equipment is relatively traditional and lacks more intelligent safety protection.

During the process of delivering food by bicycle, riders often need to check maps, contact stores and customers, and report food delivery progress. However, the main entrance for riders to interact with the outside world is products such as mobile phones and Bluetooth headsets, which occupy the rider’s hands and eyes. , ears and other organs, seriously affecting the rider's driving safety.

Of course, not only food delivery riders, but also all owners who use two-wheeled electric vehicles to travel will face similar traffic safety problems. There are about 700 million of them, which is a very large number.

So, can this problem be solved by changing the interaction center in the riding environment?UNISOC chose a smart helmet to serve as the new interaction center. Helmets are the first element to ensure cycling safety. Scientific research shows that helmets can reduce the risk of death in traffic accidents by 60% to 70%. At the same time, it is very close to human eyes, ears, and mouthpieces, enabling the most natural interaction.

Recently, UNISOC officially launched the world’s first chip-level smart helmet solution. It is reported that this solution has achieved a breakthrough in the industry and defined a new standard for smart helmets.

The world's first chip-level smart helmet solution created by Zhanrui integrates Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, GPS, AI and other functional modules on a chip platform, using a single chip to realize the core functions of a smart helmet.This means that by optimizing the design and algorithm, Zhanrui’s solution can achieve more stable connections and more accurate algorithms on the underlying hardware. Experimental data shows that in certain specific scenarios, the communication connection stability of Zhanrui's chip-level solution is improved by up to 50% compared with non-chip-level solutions of the same level on the market.

On the other hand, the high integration brought by one chip can effectively reduce development and deployment costs. According to estimates, using Zhanrui's chip-level solution, the overall cost of smart helmets will be reduced by 30% compared with non-chip-level solutions. This will help more companies deploy smart helmets and protect the safety of more workers.

Smart helmets equipped with Zhanrui chip-level solutions can achieve:

1. High standards, high quality and high reliability

Safety is no small matter. The use environment of smart helmets is complex and diverse, which requires high standards, high quality, and high reliability from the hard core to the hardware modules. UNISOC's smart helmet solution is mature and stable. The core platform has been tested in field with nearly 200 operators around the world, and global connectivity is unimpeded. Designed based on industrial-grade solutions, the smart helmet is resistant to water immersion, high and low temperatures, impact resistance, and has the ability to work in harsh environments.

2. Sub-meter precise positioning

The survey found that many riders have encountered problems with weak GPS signals and inaccurate navigation, resulting in delays in taking the wrong route. Data shows that there are thousands of mobile phone models used by delivery riders, as well as old models from many years ago. There are great differences in the navigation performance of different mobile phones, and they cannot well support real-time planning, precise navigation, and indoor positioning. and other scene needs.

Positioning accuracy is the basis for precise navigation and fast tracking. UNISOC’s smart helmet solution can achieve sub-meter-level precise positioning. Compared with ordinary meter-level positioning, it has achieved a huge improvement in error from 10 meters to less than 1 meter, and the positioning is accurate to the lane.

3. AI high-definition voice call

It is very common to look at mobile phones and make calls while riding a bicycle, especially for riders in the instant delivery industry who need a lot of manual process operations during food delivery/express delivery and cannot focus on road conditions and vehicle control.

Zhanrui's solution has a built-in AI voice assistant that can automatically recognize scenes and implement a series of operations such as broadcasting, reminders, guidance, reporting, and function control. It can achieve stable recognition, processing, and interaction of voice commands even in complex scenes. According to tests, in a noisy environment, the voice wake-up and recognition rate of Zhanrui's solution at a distance of 1 meter is as high as 97%.

At the same time, Zhanrui integrates high-definition Bluetooth calling and noise reduction technology into smart helmets, and achieves low-latency stereo sound through the Bluetooth headset inside the helmet, helping cyclists to drive safely without missing important information.

4. AI visual assistance

While freeing up your hands, you should also give the rider an extra pair of eyes. Smart helmets equipped with Zhanrui's solution can realize AI lane monitoring. Through the integration of cameras and AI algorithms, lanes can be recognized in real time. Once a lane deviation, reverse driving, or non-motorized vehicle enters a motorized lane, a dynamic voice reminder will be issued.

In view of the visual blind spots when turning and changing lanes, Zhanrui integrates 360 surround view and intelligent rear view technology into the solution. Through the camera implanted on the helmet, 360-degree coverage monitors surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, reducing blind spot areas and realizing Instant voice reminder.

5. Comprehensive safety monitoring

By integrating a variety of sensors, Zhanrui's solution can achieve all-round monitoring including the rider's posture, behavior and physical condition. For example, once a rider falls or has an abnormal heart rate, the helmet will recognize it in real time and automatically report the data; the helmet detection will automatically identify whether the rider is wearing a helmet and provide a reminder; when driving at night, the helmet warning light will automatically turn on.

6. Long battery life

Security protection needs to be online at all times. Through low-power design, Zhanrui's solution achieves a balance between performance and power consumption, achieving a powerful battery life of up to 7 days, without sacrificing wearing comfort, and only weighs an egg more than an ordinary helmet.

At present, Zhanrui has launched three differentiated solutions for different user groups and market needs: popular version, standard version, and flagship version. It caters to the different needs of different groups and uses technology to serve the people.

The popular version meets the needs of cycling safety-related monitoring and Bluetooth calls. The standard version, in addition to providing security monitoring and Bluetooth calls, adds real-time positioning and AI voice assistant functions. The flagship version adds AI visual assistance to cope with more complex road conditions and ensure cycling safety in all aspects.
