Wearable Airbag System for Real-Time Bicycle Rider Accident Recognition by Orthogonal Convolutional Neural Network (O-CNN) Model

Abstract

As demand for bicycles increases, bicycle-related accidents are on the rise. There are many items such as helmets and racing suits for bicycles, but many people do not wear helmets even if they are the most basic safety protection. To protect the rider from accidents, technology is needed to measure the rider’s motion condition in real time, determine whether an accident has occurred, and cope with the accident. This paper describes an artificial intelligence airbag. The artificial intelligence airbag is a system that measures real-time motion conditions of a bicycle rider using a six-axis sensor and judges accidents with artificial intelligence to prevent neck injuries. The MPU 6050 is used to understand changes in the rider’s movement in normal and accident conditions. The angle is determined by using the measured data and artificial intelligence to determine whether an accident happened or not by analyzing acceleration and angle. In this paper, similar methods of artificial intelligence (NN, PNN, CNN, PNN-CNN) to are compared to the orthogonal convolutional neural network (O-CNN) method in terms of the performance of judgment accuracy for accident situations. The artificial neural networks were applied to the airbag system and verified the reliability and judgment in advance.

Smart airbag vest with integrated light turn signaling and location tracking

“…Smart vests were developed which are embedded with sensors to mitigate incidents or lessen injuries [5]- [8]. The addition of airbags [9]- [11] and brake lights [12], [13] to safety vests have also Emergency response: it is quite a challenge to the rescuers to respond immediately when accidents or incidents occur. There could be more lives saved if the delay of sending and receiving information is fast.…”
