I-Corps: Smart internet-of-things-based bicycle safety system

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发一种负担得起的，准确的，可靠的技术，将提供一个统一的解决方案来跟踪自行车的位置。这项技术可以减少每年200万辆被盗自行车的成本。它还可以帮助及时检测事故，这对于提供创伤治疗以及预防致命伤害至关重要。这项新的美国技术的发展可能会直接影响公共卫生，保险公司，通过提高自行车骑手的安全和减少自行车事故和盗窃的经济负担的社区。这个I-Corps项目是基于一个准确的，多功能的，负担得起的自行车位置跟踪，事故检测，以及在基于物联网（IoT）的平台上利用各种传感器的生命体征测量系统。该系统通过蜂窝服务连接到云端，并将传感器获取的实时数据发送到云端。该技术利用一种新的算法来检测自行车事故和生命体征。该算法从传感器收集数据，执行特征提取，并应用机器学习算法来检测事故和测量生命体征。此外，该技术利用GPS定位跟踪来定位自行车的确切位置，并在发生事故时将位置发送给紧急联系人，以便骑车人可以尽快获得所需的帮助。位置跟踪系统还有助于定位被盗/丢失的自行车。安装在自行车手柄上的生物传感器可以测量骑车人的生命体征，如心率和血氧水平，并为活动跟踪提供信息，以及检测心律失常或心力衰竭。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of an affordable, accurate, and reliable technology that will provide a unified solution to track a bike location. This technology may reduce the costs associated with two million stolen bikes each year. It may also aid in detecting accidents promptly which is vital in providing trauma treatments, as well as the prevention of fatal injuries. The development of this new US technology may directly impact public health, insurance companies, and the community by improving the safety of bicycle riders and reducing the economic burden of bike accidents and theft.This I-Corps project is based on the development of an accurate, versatile, and affordable bike location tracking, accident detection, and vital sign measurement system utilizing a variety of sensors on an internet-of-things (IoT)-based platform. The system is connected to the cloud via cellular services and sends real-time data that is acquired by the sensors to the cloud. The technology utilizes a novel algorithm to detect bike accidents and vital signs. The algorithm gathers data from the sensors, performs feature extraction, and applies machine learning algorithms to detect accidents and measure vital signs. In addition, the technology utilizes GPS location tracking to locate the exact location of the bike and sends the location to an emergency contact in case of an accident so that the rider can receive needed help as quickly as possible. The location tracking system also helps in locating stolen/lost bikes. The biosensors mounted on the bike handle can measure the rider's vital signs, such as heart rate and blood oxygen level, and provide information for activity tracking, as well as detect arrhythmia or heart failure.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
