Important results from the project
The project consortium has achieved its original goals. A micromobility perspective dataset was collected. From this a micromobility included classification model and a depth estimation model were fine-tuned. A safety system has built, which has a safety algorithm runs on the compute unit and estimates road users’ movement, and triggers the HMI warn (visual and haptic) on the bicycle handlebar. The safety system was verified in controlled environment and recorded as demonstration films.
Expected long term effects
This project has provided valuable insights into the development of a camera-based safety system, including key challenges and performance characteristics. New ideas based on camera technology are emerging. The detection model by Chalmers is expected to support future R&D efforts aiming to improve micromobility safety by enabling the detection of micromobility and their users. The depth estimation model has been added to Autoliv’s list of candidate technologies for further evaluation.
Approach and implementation
In WP1, the data collection was extended beyond the original plan. The fisheye camera was replaced with a rectangular GoPro, which required more data and led to a slight delay. The publications were completed on schedule. In WP2, dataset collected as planned. However, data processing took longer for improvements in the LiDAR data. The publication is ready, but currently on hold because patent process. WP3 and WP4 has finished on time, even The handlebar was produced ahead of schedule.
