BykeSyte is a smart safety device that easily attaches to your bike and alerts you when a car approaches dangerously close, helping you stay aware and protected on the road. Inspired by a real incident at our school — where a student was struck while crossing — we created BykeSyte to make biking safer for everyone. Installation is quick and simple, taking less than 10 minutes. Here's how it works:
-
Real-Time Alerts: BykeSyte instantly notifies the rider when a vehicle gets too close, providing critical seconds to react.
-
Technology Integration: Uses a Raspberry Pi, high-resolution camera, LED alerts, OpenCV object detection, and a loud buzzer.
-
Inspired by Real Incident: Developed in response to a school incident where a student was struck while crossing, aiming to make biking safer for everyone.
-
Focus on Safety: Safety should never be optional, especially for young riders, and BykeSyte ensures they stay protected on the road.
