Description

The main advantage of the SDU Fork Sensor for Helite Electronic Airbag Systems is the short detection time and the fact that it provides protection at standstill (e.g. when you stop at traffic lights and somebody crashes into you). The fork sensor detects the impact and sends a signal to the CDU vest sensor which analyzes the situation and activates the airbag if necessary. The engine doesn’t even have to be running, making the sensor suitable for motorcycles/scooter with the start-stop system or electric motorcycles.

The sensor is fully autonomous. The battery is non-rechargeable. The guaranteed lifespan is 5 years. The fork sensor is optional; e-Turtle vests are fully functional without it. The sensor is not suitable for racing (it’s useless for the e-GP Air vest). 

Helite guarantees a detection time between 31 and 60 ms at a speed of 35 km/h, which covers 85% of accidents. Helite performed tests in collaboration with UTAC, the French technical union for Automobile, Motorcycle and Cycle.

Test during a frontal impact against a stationary vehicle:

  • Detection time of the motorcycle fork: 31 ms
  • Detection time of the CDU sensor in the airbag vest: 62ms
