Haptic Navigation


Turn-by-Turn Navigation

The embeded vibration motors will be actuated depending on the commands the microcontroler receives from the mobile device, informing the rider of an upcoming turn at a customizable distance away of the route's diversion.

Accelerometer Based Override

The rider is provided with the ability to cancel any upcoming manoeuvre by a simple wave of their hand. The gesture is picked up by the microcontroller's accelerometer and the motors and LED cease to operate.

Lights


Indicator Lights

A waterproof, shockproof system of alerting the upcoming traffic for the rider's navigational intends. Using Adafruit NeoPixel RGB LED Strip.

Braking Lights

Alerting traffic of braking using the embedded accelerometer.

Night Lights
