Design Of Riding Helmet Based On Empathy Design Method

The concept of low-carbon travel has been advocated for many years.With the fierce sharing of bicycles,people will choose to ride bicycles for short-distance travel.According to the research,the time for a single ride is 10-20 minutes.It has a certain impact on the safety of cyclists.As one of the important protective equipment to protect the safety of cyclists,riding helmets are rarely seen in daily urban light riding scenes.Based on this phenomenon,the empathy design method is used to explore the needs of users for helmets and the reasons for infrequent wearing,and to optimize and improve riding helmets from the perspective of product design.The research method of empathy design is a relatively mature method in the field of user experience,and is also a method that fits the purpose of the topic research.The research method of empathy design can be divided into three stages,namely: the stage of expression of phenomena,the stage of communication and interaction,and the stage of empathy,and each stage has a variety of auxiliary research tools;the observation stage is selected according to the topic and actual situation.In the method,the user interview is selected in the communication and interaction phase,and the empathy graph tool is selected in the emotional transfer phase.The research on cycling helmet products mainly starts from the existing products in the market and the national safety standards of cycling helmets.The product innovation in the existing market is mainly new material application research and IOT intelligent research.The national safety label mainly stipulates the specifications of the helmet,the stability of the wearing device,and the performance of the helmet to absorb collision energy.Apply empathy design research methods to the design of riding helmets,study the behavior,thoughts,feelings,and thoughts of users from idea generation to end movements during the entire riding process,and finally get the planning and design direction of demand pain points,and finally output the concept of riding helmet Scheme and size parameters.
