Electric scooters are rapidly spreading as a new means of transportation in urban areas. However, they involve safety risks such as falls, collisions with curbs, and crashes with automobiles, making safety assurance a critical issue. In response, the Nishimoto Laboratory is developing an add-on Advanced Driver (Rider) Assistance System (ADAS) that can be installed on any electric scooter. This system not only helps prevent accidents but also provides automatic emergency notification in the event of an accident, and in the future it can be applied to mobility scooters for the elderly and to bicycles.
