Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has introduced a new ‘Bike Sense’ system which warns drivers about approaching cyclists and brakes automatically if necessary. JLR hopes that this new system will help in reducing the high number of road deaths and injuries suffered by cyclists and the amount of collisions between bikes and cars.
This new technology uses a variety of sensors to determine when a bicycle or motorcycle is approaching the car. The system alerts the drivers by playing the sound of either a bicycle bell or a motorcycle horn through the speaker nearest to the bike. This enables the driver to instantly know where the cyclist is coming from and whether they are riding a bike or a motorcycle.
The driver will also receive a virtual tap on the shoulder from a device fitted to the seat, which causes it to inflate and contract. The idea is to prompt the driver to look behind at whichever side has been tapped to see the approaching cyclist. In order to prevent the driver from opening their car’s door in the direction from where the cyclist is approaching, the door handles will buzz, as will the accelerator pedal, if an accident is likely to be caused by moving the car.
According to JLR Director of Research and Technology, Wolfgang Epple, “Bike Sense takes us beyond the current technologies of hazard indicators and icons in wing mirrors, to optimising the location of light, sound and touch to enhance this intuition. This creates warnings that allow a faster cognitive reaction as they engage the brain’s instinctive responses."
This system is currently a prototype, but Jaguar says this kind of technology is important to help avoid collisions to avoid deaths of several cyclists across the world.
