Introduction

Our project aims to keep cyclists safer on the road by providing a suite of safety features, such as proximity sensors, blind spot warnings, collision warnings, signal lights and brake lights – danger alerts that you would normally find on a car, to a cyclist. The medium through which the cyclist receives information is a jacket worn on the cyclist, providing feedback and notifications to the cyclist. A sensor array on the bicycle consisting of ultrasonic sensors and LIDARs as well as a mobile phone app using location information provide environment data that can be analyzed to determine whether a cyclist is in danger or not.
