The idea is to combine a bike light and dual-tone horn into one device. It will light the way while also giving cyclists a way to alert inattentive drivers. The device will feature both a lower-decibel "hello horn" and a louder, 96-decibel "watch out" alarm. The horn's volume will be controlled by an integrated actuator, with a light touch sounding the lower alarm and a stronger push sounding the latter. The LED lights on the front of the horn will be designed to be constantly on,...

The new bike helmet concept will increase biker safety by embedding turn signals into the helmet itself. The helmet system will work via Bluetooth and feature arrow-shaped "turn signals" that will illuminate when the rider triggers a button on the handlebars. A bright forward-facing light and a red rear light will provide added illumination at night.

The digital signpost will be designed to give visitors information about specific events or locations, and will base its data off Twitter feeds and other social networks. The sign will feature three, arrow-shaped, LED-equipped screens that will pivot around the post. Users will be able to select the information they need, such as "Food" or "Transit" from an interface at eye-level, and the signs will move to point in the direction of the desired location. Since the data is digital,...

The air purifier bike concept will let riders clean the air as they ride by filtering out pollutants and creating oxygen. The concept bike will be equipped with an air filter between the handle bars that will screen pollutants and dust and an oxygen-producing "photosynthesis system" that will include a water tank, electric motor and a battery. As the bike is being ridden, air will be forced through the filter and cleaned, allowing fresh air to flow onto the cyclist. The...

A simple, small air bag that is placed inside your headrest and activates when you are rear ended. Today's headrests and the headrests in the past have never prevented whiplash which is the most common problem in an accident and has the most lawsuits due to it. Your head is pushed forward by the rear-ending of another car or rear end collision then the air bag pads your head safely back against the head rest as your head comes back towards the seat at great force. It would be more...

If you can keep the pets on a short leash or lock down the stretch kind then you can buckle your pet's leash right to the seat buckle that you would use and you could safely drive without a chance that the pet would obstruct your driving or jump out an open window. Just have one end on the animal's collar and have a standard car seat buckle attachment on the other end. With the buckle possibly detachable to return the leash to a standard leash again.

Whenever you are driving down the highway in cruise mode, it would be nice to have some kind of "cruise indicator" to advise other drivers of your reason for not passing faster or why you are going at such a non speeding pace. Let them know to pass if they want, but that you are in "cruise control". Maybe a light near the tail lights.

I think it would be cool to have clear plastic windows in the floors of cars so that the passengers could see the road whizzing along underneath them as they are driving along.

When you're travelling by plane, there's often something spectacular going on outside (and I'm not talking about burning engines - rather something like sunsets, cloud patterns or fantastic sights on the ground). Unfortunately, you can rarely see these things, as you're usually sitting on the wrong side of the plane. So why don't they use a mini camera to broadcast those events to the main screen so everyone can see? It would definitely be a great service appreciated by most passengers.

Prof. Victor Papanek talked in his book 'Design for the Real World', about how more than a ton of metal is used to move a 150 pound human from place to place. Many of the National Labs in USA are working on developing self-contained suits for use by the National Security people for use in all kinds of emergencies. Most of a car is designed to provide a micro-environment to the occupant. The idea proposed is: Can a simplified version of the special protection suit be used...
