Workshop on Intelligent Cyclist Support Systems and Applications

Abstract

Although the number of cycling accidents increases, technology to improve traffic flow and safety was predominantly researched in the context of motor-powered vehicles in the past. While new assistance systems are being installed for driving safety in passenger cars, a similar development is lacking for bicycles. Although cycling support systems are slowly becoming an important research topic, there is still limited work addressing intelligent and collaborative applications for bikes. In this workshop, we will discuss and prototype potential intelligent support systems and their applications in the cycling domain. Our goal is to bring cycling and technology enthusiasts together to discuss and develop possible intelligent support systems that can enhance the cycling experience and make bikes a safer mode of transport.
