Abstract:

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, provide a potentially significant avenue to facilitate large reductions in greenhouse gases and hazardous emissions while promoting the usage of public transportation. However, little research exists on how these faster, heavier, and quieter vehicles impact rider safety. The goal of this effort was to drive a biomechanically designed e-bike throughout a campus environment in order to obtain quantitative and qualitative data on its operation enabling better models of e-bikes for driving simulator projects, emissions studies, and other transportation related efforts. Key to this endeavor was the development of a low-cost and mobile Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system that could accurately measure the distance between objects (i.e., pedestrians and cars) and the e-bike. While some success was obtained, the limited processing rate of the components chosen precluded completion. As a result, the development of a second-generation LIDAR system is currently progressing along with two other synergistic activities that will expand the original efforts in order to provide information pre-crash to reduce risks and after accidents as part of post disaster inspection systems.
