IDEA
TURNING: SIGNALIZATION?
CAR
Turn-on directional indicators
BIKE
Use hand signalization
Hand signals are unnoticed in the dark!!
For bicycle safety, visibility is key!!

RESULTS
POWER MANAGEMENT: Outdoor Application -> Solar Energy -> Low Power
SOLAR CELL OUTPUT POWER
 10% of direct sun condition PV provides 7.7 mW
 BQ25504 with 80% efficiency6.1 mW
 System total power consumption reaches to 5 mW
Autonomous operation even at 10% of direct sun illumination!!
MOTION DETECTION: Detect cyclist arm movement -> Factored Quaternion Algorithm
Arm up
 When the arm is moving left or right the threshold
for the yaw angle is reached turning on the LEDs

(rotated wrist)
 The up and down movement is indeed filtered out
by the tilt-compensation algorithm  LEDs off
LED on LED off LED on
