Bicycle Crash Detection: Using a Voice-Assistant for More Accurate ReportingWilliams, Brian 06 September 2018 (has links)
It is estimated that over half of bicycle crashes are not reported. There are various reasons for this,
such as no property damage or physical injuries sustained. In order to improve the likelihood
that bicycle riders will report a crash, I have developed Urban Bike Buddy, a smartphone application which
uses the internal sensors of the device to detect a crash. The application interacts with Alexa to help
guide the user through the crash reporting process.
The innovative features of my work are the ability to initiate communication with Alexa without user
interaction. In addition, there is an intersection controller that has been connected to extra hardware
that allows bicycle riders to request a crossing signal during their approach based on the speed that
they are riding. These features add value to bicycle riders, and will help contribute to a safer
environment for bicycle riders, automobiles, and pedestrians as well.

Georgia intersection safety improvement programThomas, Chester 30 June 2008 (has links)
Intersection crashes accounted for 47 percent of the total number of crashes in the State of Georgia from 2000-2005, and as a location where crashes occur, represent the largest number of crash locations in the state. Federal legislation requires states to implement statewide safety plans to reduce fatalities, crashes, and improve safety. Intersections vary in different ways and there are individual factors that can cause an intersection to be safer or more dangerous than another. Acquiring better, uniform, and more updated information with regard to intersection crashes will enable transportation officials to prescribe policies for improving safety in an easier and more expedited manner.
This thesis recommends a five-part program for intersection safety that will enable Georgia transportation officials to better analyze, identify, and implement countermeasures at intersections that are determined to be the most hazardous. The plan consists of:
1. Standardized Hazardous Intersection Identification Method
2. Statewide Public Involvement task force
3. Automated Police Crash Reporting Through Improved Technologies
4. Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Intersection Safety Strategies (8 State Comparison)
5. Statewide Minimal Intersection Safety Equipment
The five parts of this plan lead to a statewide standard method of analyzing intersections based on uniform collection methods and uniform equipment statewide.
