Monitoring Bicycle Riding Motion with Multiple Inertial Sensors

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel sensory system for monitoring situations of riding bicycle. The proposed system can be used to measure and save in real-time not only the motion of bicycle rider but also the situation near the vehicle. Multiple inertial sensors being attached to human body are employed to measure the motion of the rider. Two laser scanners installed in the front of the bicycle and two cameras of wide view angle were used to detect the environmental change including pedestrians and static/dynamic objects. The system configuration was designed for the synchronization of multiple sensors according to the position information of the vehicle. Particularly, the human motion of riding bicycle is captured with the system and analyzed with the measurement data in this paper.
