THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM (SENSORS AND ALGORITHM)
User Guide
The system uses an algorithm and two
sensors which are able to distinguish
cyclists' common movements in an
accident. The
detection unit), located inside the vest,
analyzes cyclists' motion in real time
and the SDU saddle sensor detects
the shock. When an abnormal move
or a shock is detected both sensors
communicate with each other and
analyze the situation.
If an accident is detected, the airbag
inflates in 80 ms and the cyclist is
protected.
