機車盲點偵測輔助系統

Blind-Spot Detection Assistant System for Motorcycles

機車，是在地狹人稠的台灣常見的交通工具，掛牌數有近一千四百萬輛，是汽車的1.7倍。市面上已可以買到許多配備智慧輔助系統的汽車以增加安全性，但機車的安全配備卻鮮少看見。本研究利用雷射測距感應器以及Arduino開發板、藍芽模組，透過Android手機APP結合市面上常見的安全帽藍芽耳機，建構了一個盲點偵測輔助系統。在車輛的盲區出現物體時，可用相對應方向之單聲道的聲響直接提醒駕駛。本系統可安裝在機車、重機上，達到安全輔助的效果，並以較低的硬體成本，期望能達到推廣和普及的目的，增加機車行駛的安全性。 Because Taiwan is a small and densely populated island, people generally prefer to ride motorcycles or scooters as a convenient alternative means of transportation to larger motor vehicles. There are almost 14 million motorcycles and scooters in Taiwan, 1.7 times the number of cars. Although many advanced driver-assistance systems are available on the local car market, few are provided on the motorcycle market. This paper proposes the design of a blind-spot detection system for motorcycles to accurately detect an object or obstacle in a rider's blind spot and to warn him or her. This system design is implemented using a laser range sensor, a Bluetooth module, and an Arduino microcontroller board. The sensor is used to detect moving objects, an Android app notifies the rider of how far away the object is, and a Bluetooth headset in the rider's helmet sounds an alarm to warn him or her. The monophonic alarm sound highlights the locations of moving objects in the blind-spot area. This system design can be used for both motorcycles and scooters to ensure safety economically.
