Simulation and Warning for Cyclists

Andy Fawkes <andy.fawkes@bisimulations.com>

Too many cyclists in London and Cambridge are injured or killed by collisions with trucks and buses. We have data that could help. All Cambridge buses have real time GPS tracking, and cyclists often wear GPS devices like the Pebble smart watch. We propose an online training simulator, accessed from screens but based on real data, to help drivers and cyclists learn to avoid such accidents. The real time data and decisions can even be fed back to cyclists out on the streets, with coded buzzes on their wrist helping plan routes and avoid danger ahead. With real-time data throughout, it should be possible to coordinate the simulator with real actions.
