Tucano Urbano AIRSCUD inflatable airbag vest

In collaboration with In&motion of France, Milan based Tucano Urbano is the latest vendor to add an inflatable airbag vest to its apparel programme.
The AIRSCUD is described as "one of the most versatile airbag systems in the world, with services and safety functions that are updated and improved regularly.
"AIRSCUD harnesses all the power of Artificial Intelligence to achieve a combination of innovation, functionality and design. Tucano Urbano uses the In&motion airbag technology, a leader in the development of autonomous airbags - technology which is already used by numerous MotoGP and Dakar riders. 

"Tucano Urbano's expertise in materials and knowledge of riders' needs has joined with In&motion's technology and specialisation to create a product able to guarantee maximum protection for daily or occasional motorcycle or scooter riders".
The 'secret sauce' in the unique approach that In&motion has taken to airbag technology resides in the use of Artificial Intelligence, which constantly collects and analyses riding data from thousands of users worldwide to improve airbag deployment algorithms. The design uses seven sensors - three accelerometers, three gyroscopes and one GPS - with the detection algorithm measuring the parameters of use a thousand times every second.
If it detects an impact, it provides what is described as the fastest inflation activation in the world - in less than 60 milliseconds the system detects the risk and completes the airbag inflation, with total coverage of vital areas such as chest, abdomen, neck and spine.

For all-season use, AIRSCUD is made of waterproof and breathable materials that make it water-resistant. AIRSCUD is a CE motorcycle certified vest - Class C oversuit - meaning it has the resistance characteristics that allow it to be worn safely both over and under a jacket and has a CE EN 1621 Level 1 back protector.
AIRSCUD can be worn over any outfit or under a favourite motorbike jacket - including Tucano Urbano's soon-to-be-available AIRSCUD Connection-ready jackets. A patented ARM LINK system allows sleeves to be added to the vest - "in just a few seconds, AIRSCUD becomes a CE motorcycle certified jacket, equipped with D3O T5 EVO X CE - EN 1621 Level 1 CE certified protectors at the shoulders and elbows".
The vest can easily be reset at home by the rider - just remove the discharged inflator unit and replace with a new inflator unit, available to purchase separately. There is no need to send off the vest to be reset.
