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.
Too many cyclists are injured or killed by collisions with trucks and buses, particularly at junctions. We have data that could help. All Cambridge buses have real time GPS tracking, and cyclists increasingly wear GPS-connected devices like the Pebble smartwatch. We propose a single online simulation and warning system, accessed from screens and that exploits both historic and real data, to help drivers and cyclists avoid accidents. Using historical data the simulation can be used to give drivers and cyclists an appreciation of the dangers and provide general warnings of dangerous traffic conditions for the time of day.  The real time data can be fed back to cyclists out on the streets by the warning system, with coded buzzes on their wrist helping them plan routes and avoid any danger ahead.
