Development and Performance Analysis of Bicycle Collision Avoidance (BCA) Algorithms by Using PreScan and MATLAB

Abstract

In this paper, we propose bicycle collision avoidance (BCA) algorithms and analyze their performance. As typical type accidents related with bicycles, we consider both intersection collision and rear crash. Then, the rear crash avoidance (RCA) algorithm and the intersection collision avoidance (ICA) algorithm are respectively developed by utilizing 'PreScan' and 'MATLAB'. The derived analytical approach can explain the condition and effect of bicycle collisions. Furthermore, proposed algorithms are verified from simulations. Consequently, the BCA developing methodology is confirmed to be used as a general solution tool to reduce the cost and the time consumption required for commercialization of safety services under IEEE 802.11p/WAVE wireless networks.
