        abstract = {Heat accumulation inside helmets causes thermal discomfort and safety issues. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a smart helmet integrating phase change materials (PCM), micro heat pipes (MCHP), controlled airflow, filtration, and sensing to actively manage the internal microclimate. The expanded design emphasizes manufacturability, safety retention, and ergonomic constraints. Prototype testing under controlled laboratory conditions demonstrates an average internal temperature reduction of 6–8 °C and improved subjective comfort for durations relevant to commuting and industrial tasks. The system architecture, component selection, control strategy, and detailed test protocols are provided.},
