Abstract

Cycling is a complex activity requiring motor, sensory and cognitive skills that develop at different rates from childhood to adolescence. While children can successfully ride a two-wheeled bicycle at age five or six, judgment of road hazards are poor at that age and matures slowly until adult-like judgment is reached in early adolescence. Safe cycling depends on the care, skills and judgment of cyclists and motorists; roadway design that promotes safe coexistence of bicycles and motor vehicles and the use of safety devices, including bicycle helmets, lights and reflective tape. Now that darkness appears quicker, and the night is especially dangerous for cyclists because of the low visibility that drivers have. Not only is darkness a danger, but also fog, blizzards, and heavy rain all wreaking havoc on the vision. To combat this, bikers attach reflectors: clear front reflectors, red rear reflectors, amber pedal reflectors, and clear side reflectors; some even add reflectors to their clothing. While this helps, it doesn't fully resolve the problem, so cyclists also use active lighting. Bikers add front and black flashing lights that can be seen by anyone without having to shine light on them. By using an Arduino to make the cyclist safety bike project, it will make the bicycle user more confident to used the bicycle as a vehicle to went to many places.
