According to the Economic News Network of Buenos Aires, Argentina, artificial intelligence technology has improved the driving assistance function of cars, and this technology is now moving towards cyclists.
After the invention of seat belts and airbags, one of the biggest advances in automotive safety is the electronic auxiliary system composed of brake anti-lock system (ABS) and vehicle stability control equipment. Without these devices, controlling the car in critical situations can become more difficult. In fact, it is these systems that protect the vehicle from severe shocks in many cases.
However, when such systems have developed to the extreme, artificial intelligence provides the possibility of continuing progress. Artificial intelligence has created novel ways to remind drivers of other vehicles nearby, and the car itself is unstable to drive. These systems are called Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which means that the car does not deviate from the lane, or let the driver know that there is a vehicle located on its blind spot, or even let the vehicle installed with these systems brake in time when it detects an obstacle in front and the driver does not respond in time.
Since the coronavirus crisis in 2020 and the environmental movement in previous years, using cars as private transportation has begun to face strong competition from bicycles.
Transportation experts say that the future personal transportation is neither electric car nor self-driving cars, but bicycles. Instead of avoiding the pedaling action, the electric bike requires the cyclist to pedal and then use the stored electricity for a specific moment the cyclist chooses. Around the world, the use of two-wheeled human-driven vehicles is showing an increasing trend.
However, bicycles still face a safety issue that needs to be solved urgently. Like motorcycles, cars mean users may encounter risks, not only because they have to ride in a continuous balance process, but also because they may fall or encounter a hit. Sharing streets with cars, buses, trucks and even motorcycles can also put cyclists at a disadvantage.
StreetLogic has begun to develop a system that improves its proactive safety by helping cyclists.
This is a camera system, one is installed in the front of the bicycle and one is installed in the back, and a mobile phone is required as the screen, and the instructions generated by these cameras will be displayed on the screen.
This system can analyze and track the environment images and estimate the possible movements it may make by running through an application downloaded to your phone. There are sound and visual signals on the phone screen that provide early warnings for cyclists. In addition, the system can directly connect to the camera and smartphone, so there is no need to connect to the Internet, nor does it require GPS positioning system .
is a simple system in terms of its operation. Despite the need for electric drive, in the first phase, the system is fully adapted to electric bikes. The electric bike originally has a power source that can assist cyclists by running its electric motor .
In fact, just use a pre-charged power supply, such as a small battery, the StreetLogic system can run perfectly on ordinary bicycle .
Since the system is still in its early stages of development, StreetLogic currently mainly collects data about cars, because cars are the main type of vehicle involved in bicycle accidents. As time goes by and software advances, it is expected that other cyclists, pedestrians, even pit holes on the ground and animals that appear randomly on the road will be detected soon.
