As temperatures rise with approaching peak summer, Vadodara Traffic Police has provided AC helmets to its personnel manning the city roads. The AC helmet has been developed by students of IIM Vadodara.
“These have been given to personnel deployed during daytime on roads. It is battery operated helmet which help in maintaining the body temperature. Close to 450 personnel have been given this helmet,” the police department said.
Last year the Ahmedabad Traffic Police had also unveiled AC helmets for its personnel.
These helmets sport a distinctive design, featuring a plastic top equipped with a built-in fan-like structure. The power source for these cooling marvels is a battery pack comfortably worn by the traffic police personnel around their waist. Impressively, these helmets can effectively operate for up to eight hours on a single full charge. Beyond providing a cooling breeze, they also shield the Ahmedabad traffic police from dust and pollutants. Interestingly, these helmets are slightly heavier by 500 grams compared to the regular riding helmets.
The ‘AC helmet’ distinguishes itself with its slim plastic top, differing from the traditional riding helmets. It incorporates a fan mechanism alongside several supplementary components.
