The Challenge
The Vadodara Traffic Police officers are on duty for long hours, especially during the scorching summer months. With temperatures often soaring above 40°C (104°F), the officers were facing severe heat stress, leading to fatigue, dehydration, and decreased productivity. The intense heat not only affected their physical well-being but also hampered their ability to focus, thereby compromising their efficiency in managing the city’s traffic.
The Solution
To address these challenges, the Vadodara Traffic Police adopted Jarsh ActivCooling Helmets, which are specially designed to mitigate heat stress. The helmets feature an integrated cooling system that provides continuous airflow, significantly reducing the temperature inside the helmet. This allows officers to stay cool and comfortable even during the hottest days, ensuring they remain alert and effective in their duties.
