Interactive Cyclist Monitoring and Accident Prevention System (Combined with INV-13101)Description:INTERACTIVE CYCLIST MONITORING ANDACCIDENT PREVENTION SYSTEM INV-14044 INVENTORS: Amir Bahador Farjadian Bejestan; Qingchao Kong, Carlo Sartori Pacifici,Philip Damian Lena, Alexander Pepjonovich, Camilo Madriz, Marietta Alcover Ramos,Constantinos Mavroidis Link to PDFDescriptionThe US has observed a more than 80% increase in the number of cyclist commutersover the past few years. With this increase in cyclists, the rate of bicycle accidents andfatalities has also shown a steady growth. The majority of these accidents involvecrashes with motor vehicles (mainly associated with human factors). Currently availablecycling technologies/systems lack adequate early warning systems and other safetymeasures to effectively prevent/manage such incidents. This invention discloses anovel, cyclist monitoring and crash prevention system capable of having a significanthealth, economic and environmental impact, overcoming most prior art limitationsand/or unmet needs. Value PropositionThe system: Provides a real-time and off-line feedback to cyclists Is modular in nature and can be added onto bicycles to make cycling safer Helps in analyzing the crash scene retrospectively Is extremely light-weight, weighing no more than 0.6 lbs Allows for crash detection and alert settings on real-time basis Is successfully installable on generic road bikes, even by minimally skilled people Comprises a waterproof housing, enabling better and long lasting usage Enables the creation of a virtual bike lane in front as well as back of the bicycle Would ultimately lead to a safer cycling experience, enabling increased number of bicycleson the street Enables an increased communication with other motor vehicles, thereby increasing driverawareness of the presence of bicycles in the environment Significantly helps in improving the cyclistΓÇÖs riding habits by providing long-term personalrecommendations
