A major cause of cyclist injuries on the roads is due to collisions with vehicles, oftentimes due to drivers that simply did not notice the cyclist until it was too late. Our project aims to improve cyclist safety by creating a collision avoidance system that provides advanced warning for drivers and cyclists, alerting them to each other’s presence and enabling them to take evasive action.
We will use bluetooth technology to provide accurate real time position and velocity of both vehicles. When the system determines that a collision is imminent, it will send an audio alert, drawing the attention of both parties and prompting them to take the necessary actions to avoid a collision.
