Abstract
A helmet is essential for safety when operating personal mobility. However, user’s actual helmet wear rate is low due to the inconvenience of wearing and poor ventilation. In this study, a new helmet structure with improved ventilation for personal mobility devices was designed. To design a new structure with improved breathability compared to the existing helmet while satisfying the safety regulations for the helmet, a generative design method was applied to the shock-absorbing liner of the helmet. In addition, other materials were applied to create a structure with improved ventilation while maintaining safety. The generated design result was verified for shock absorption through simulation. As a result of the study, EPS, the current material was replaced with CFRP and Kevlar, and the structure was changed. This design was judged to satisfy safety regulations against impact. The new helmet structure is expected to improve the helmet usability for personal mobility and increase the helmet wear rate of users.
