This device was finalist in a technology contest in the United States
The HANDLD is a system designed to be installed on bicycles and that records anyone who invades the "90 cm safety zone"
It consists of a camera and sensors that is activated when the system detects that it is invading the cyclist's safety zone, which is set at 90 centimeters, since this is the measure installed in that country. In Spain, the safety distance is 1,5 meters.
According to micro-servants, thousands of accidents where a bicycle was involved were analyzed to develop the HANDLD, the most common incident being when the car gets too close to the cyclists and then they overtake without respecting the safety distance.
In case of abusive violation, cyclists have an automatic method that saves the GPS position, the date and time of the incident and the video / photos with the license plate so that the police can take action. With the app they have developed, you can review what happened and decide with a click whether to report the incident or not.

It would also allow the authorities to create a kind of map of "black spots" where this type of infractions are more common, for example to be able to take measures in this regard: plan separate bike lanes, expand the roads or put more vigilance if for some reason there is a concentration of incidents in certain areas.
There are no previous results.
