CS4VRU: Remote monitoring and warning system for Vulnerable Road

This conceptual test shows how the proposed Cooperative Safety system for Vulnerable Road Users (CS4VRU) architecture can be used to alert cyclists about closing vehicles adding a wearable device embedded in their helmet. Over the architecture provided by CS4VRU a safety application has been developed using the cellular as a communications hub that allows cyclist to share his position and receive information about the relative position of surrounding vehicles through a cooperative VANET network. Cyclist is warmed through a set of LEDs installed in his helmet. These LEDs are controlled by a small embedded system connected to the cellular using a Bluetooth Low Energy link.
