VI. CONCLUSIONS
The research presented in this paper shows that the use of solar cells array positioned on the cyclist helmet could provide the necessary energy to supply a wide range of smart sensors, with application ranging from the human performance monitoring to the road safety improvement. The same device could be adapted in many different fields where a helmet is required and wearable sensors positioned on the head are necessary, as for example airbag activation in motorcycling. Moreover, since mounting large batteries near the head, especially when a considerable battery life is required, could be hazardous, such kind of systems could be a critical asset to ensure the user safety.
