Baliz-E: IoT alert prototype for cyclist safety

Two wirelessly connected electronic modules: one on the bike detects falls and stops, and the other alerts nearby drivers.

Mobility and road safety Startup $25,000 – $50,000 ≈ 6 months

The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.

Why develop an alert system for cyclists?

1

A road safety problem

In Europe an average of 37 cyclists per million inhabitants die in traffic accidents.

2

Early warning

Warning motor-vehicle drivers early is key to reducing accidents.

3

Machine-learning detection

An embedded model identifies falls, accidents or stops by the cyclist in real time.

4

A safety bubble

Drivers can relay the alert with a tap, extending its reach to more cars and greater distances.

“A device that goes out on the road has to be visible, rugged and connected. The electronics and the product design were thought through together from the start. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
