The initial research and development project has been focused on communication between cars and cyclists.Mtb Clothing
“Our partnership with Volvo is both humbling and rewarding and aligns very well with our mission to do the best we can to possibly save lives and to reduce the consequences of accidents for gravity sports athletes and cyclists,” says Stefan Ytterborn Brian Dawkins Jersey , POC CEO and founder. “Our mutual view and focus on safety has resulted in a unique safety concept that can improve road safety through increased interaction between motorists and cyclists.”
By using popular smartphone cycling apps, like Strava, the cyclist’s position can be shared through the Volvo cloud to the car, and vice versa. If an imminent collision is calculated Alshon Jeffery Jersey , both road users will be warned. The Volvo driver will be alerted to a cyclist nearby through a head-up display alert – even if the cyclist does not appear in view, e.g. behind a bend, another vehicle or during low visibility. The cyclist will also be warned via a helmet-mounted alert light as well as vibration.
