Abstract

This study developed an adaptive exoskeleton head and neck protection system for drivers in low-level formula racing, such as Formula Ford and Formula 3. Combining ergonomic design with high-strength materials like carbon fiber and titanium alloy, the system integrates gyroscopes, accelerometers, and real-time data processing to dynamically adjust protection based on speed and collision conditions. Laboratory and application tests confirmed its effectiveness in reducing head and neck injuries across various impact scenarios. Featuring intuitive human-computer interaction, including voice and touch controls, the system enhances driver safety and sets a new standard for racing protection. Future applications may extend to industries requiring advanced personal protection, such as healthcare and heavy industry.
