Analysis 3

Notes from Capstone peers:

  • Include brake light on the handlebar as well to match with the braking light by the wheel?
  • How to influence rider to use the turn signals (pop them out, use the LED button, push them back in)
  • Timing: programming of the LEDs to blink for a certain # of seconds
    • how to turn off the blinker light after the turn has been made
  • Using a sound/speaker to make noise if the LED rod is not pushed in
  • Holding down the LED button for the full duration of the turn, release button to turn off blinker
  • 360 reflectivity
    • Do physical trials to see how well visibility is from every angle (pedestrian, driver distance, point of view)
  • Grip being able to light up also?
  • How to lock the grip to the handle
  • Material of the LED rod (clear plexiglass material?)
  • Wrap the entire rod in LEDs?
    • Light should be visible from all angles
