  1. Safe-Cyclist Project (Night-Rider) Anthony Rowe Assistant Research Professor Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Carnegie Mellon University

  2. Is cycling safe? • Yes and No • 677 Killed in 2011 (32,367 by car) • 2.17 per million riders (1.10 by car) • 72% Urban • 33% at Intersections • 53% during evening commute (4pm-12am) • Average age for deaths 43 • Est. 48,000 Injured in 2011 • Average age for injury 32 • Many not reported

  3. Lots of activity in this space… Hovding Airbag “Gadgets to Boost Bike Safety” - NYT Helios Bars BLAZE Headlight SMART sensor helmet

  4. How can technology help? • Crowd-Source Safe Routes • Hazardous Zone Detection • Pot hole, stressful roads, user labels • Collision Avoidance • Smart Lighting • Adaptive and reactive • Auto 911 for accidents • Traffic Law Notification • Video Accident Logging

  5. Electronics Pkg IMU Speakers Smartphone Hub -IMU, GPS Battery Electronics -DSRC, CPU Front Video Radar, FLIR optical flow, Rear Video Tail Lights Rumble Bar Laser Projection Speed Motor Power / Cadence Body Worn - Heart Rate Monitor Wind Sensor

  6. Target Solutions • Smartphone PnP Architecture • Vehicle Proximity Detection • Reactive Lighting • Connected Helmet • Rumble Bars

  7. Existing Bike Peripherals Bluetooth Strain Gauge power meter + cadence Heart Rate Monitor Smartphone Mounts Tire Pressure Monitor

  8. Smartphone PnP Architecture Rumbler Bars Camera Dictionary Headlight Accelerometer Plugin Plugin PubSub Tail light Plugin Plugin DSRC Helmet Audio Plugin Plugin GPS LED Mirror Smartphone Sensors Logging Actuators

  9. Vehicle Proximity Detection • Previous attempts include: • Ultrasound, RADAR, LIDAR, cameras, … • DSRC + Differential GPS AradaLocoMate ME Bluetooth, DSRC, GPS RTKLib + Radio PMUs

  10. Reactive Lighting • Connected Head / Tail light • Change color / brightness / tempo • Acceleration • Proximity • Environmental Conditions

  11. Connected Helmet • IMU tracks head motion • Is the rider paying attention? • Have they looked back recently? • Binaural alerts from speakers Electronics Pkg IMU Speakers

  12. Rumble Bar • Virtual rumble strip inserts

  13. What about the bike? Faraday Electric Bike Rideshare Commuter Bike

  14. Questions / comments? Team Connor Brem, Computer Science (Junior) Spencer Barton, ECE (Junior) Chris Palmer, ECE (Research Programmer) Oliver Shih, ECE (Ph.D.) Ali Momeni, Art Department (Assistant Prof.) Bruno Sinopoli, ECE Department (Associate Prof.)
