Jaguar will warn the driver about cyclists
In the UK, 19,000 road traffic accidents involving cyclists occur annually, of which 109 in 2013 are fatal. Jaguar Land Rover decided to reduce this figure by developing a security system that would alert the driver about cyclists using an LED light, beeps, or a tactile connection. The system will monitor the environment of the car and distinguish between cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians.
Bicycles and cars often travel side by side on UK roads, which makes big companies like Jaguar Land Rover develop crash warning systems. “Bike Sense” is a security system that monitors the car’s surroundings using sensors and distinguishes between pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. In case the system sees the cyclist, it informs the driver about its position using LEDs, sound or a tactile connection.
When a bicycle approaches a car, the system will notify the driver about it by simulating a call from the car’s speakers, or using a beep used on motorcycles. These kinds of signals are selected so that the driver’s brain can understand the situation as quickly as possible.

If the bike overtakes the car, the tactile feedback system will tap the driver on the shoulder from the side with which the biker does it. The position of the cyclist will be reported by the LED lights using red and amber colors.
Caring for cyclists in December last year showed the company Volvo, introducing helmets , telling the driver about the biker. Drivers on the map see cyclists, and cyclists learn about the driver’s approach using LEDs built into the helmet.
