A new device to help make traveling on roadways safer for bicycle riders is being developed based in part on engineering research conducted at ASU. Robert Heinrichs, an associate teaching professor of software engineering in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, has guided some of his students in creating Cycle Safe. It’s a dash cam for bikes that uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect cars closer than three feet. It can also take photographs and collect data through an app, which will provide information to guide further advances in the technology. The next step to have prototypes to put on bikes for performance trials in early 2025.
