Abstract

Ensuring sustainable urban mobility is based on the rational management of transportation system. This involves the infrastructure development and design of vehicles equipped with intelligent modules, which provide the control ability. The widespread use of environmentally friendly bicycles is constrained by a number of reasons. One of them is the absence of models designed for physically untrained people. This paper proposes the concept of the smart-bike control system, which was developed to help cyclist in the situations, when the values of his/her physical condition as well as parameters of environment are critical. Prototypes of the proposed system were tested in the laboratory environment.
