Project description
55,836. This is the number of persons injured due to road accidents in France during the year 2020 (Source: ONISR). The development of autonomous vehicles could make it decrease strongly. However, these vehicles need to be almost 100% safe. Secure Your Bike is an essential part of the development of the safety of autonomous mobility.
Our first goal is to save lives by avoiding road accidents. But that is not all. It will induce a virtuous circle. Avoiding accidents also means:
reducing the emergency services' workload , allowing them to be more available for other tasks
making traffic more fluid and thus avoiding new accidents caused by traffic jams
saving money on vehicles and road infrastructures
Our solution, applied to a specific bike, is a prototype work to be extended later on common autonomous vehicles. Secure Your Bike could be highly beneficial for:
car manufacturers willing to develop their autonomous branch in order to target personal users (e.g. Tesla)
transportation & delivery companies willing to extend their possibilities by providing autonomous solutions (e.g. Uber/UberEats)
Autonomous vehicles are the future of mobility. We want to be part of this game-changing adventure.
Deliverables
Our team will deliver several features iteratively over the next months:
The tricycle can be entirely simulated to check its behavior.
The tricycle follows a predefined path autonomously (it calculates its position based on its speed and heading, and possibly on GPS by collaborating with the Klunk team). The path will be configurable on the tricycle’s computer.
It avoids obstacles whose visible area is larger than x m², coming with a relative speed of less than y m/s.
The tricycle's computer calculates and displays avoidance trajectories.
If an obstacle cannot be avoided, an emergency stop prevents the tricycle from hitting the obstacle while moving.
