BIKE BRAKE B

BICYCLING CAN BE DANGEROUS >1000 1 deaths $10B 467k medical costs & productivity injuries losses

PROBLEM Detect obstacles React and brake before the bicyclist can

THE SKETCH MODEL Can low-cost sensors accurately detect obstacles in the way of a bicyclist?

TEST LED On

LASER SENSOR RESULTS ━ Sensor 1 ━ Sensor 2 Detection occurs in sensor’s linear range

ANALOGOUS PRODUCTS Emergency auto-braking for cars Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) for: • Motorcycles • Bikes

MARKET People who use bicycles for: ! Primary mode of transportation $6.2 billion domestic ! Commuting market ! Deliveries ! Exercise ! Leisure

POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS ! Hook up circuit to engage brakes ! Increase range of proximity sensor ! Obtain better results with computational methods with the cheaper sensors
