Abstract

More than 60 percentage of fatal accidents while riding a bicycle is caused by elderly people over 65 years old. The main cause is the detection delay of approaching vehicle caused by the decrease of cognitive function due to aging. In this paper, we propose an approaching vehicle detection method using a smartphone aiming to support bicycle operation to prevent elderly people from fatal accidents while riding a bicycle vehicle. Among various sensors embedded in a smartphone, we focus on microphone as the most suitable sensor for detecting an approaching vehicle. We collected sound data in a real environment and created an approaching vehicle detection model by using machine learning. Finally, as a result of accuracy evaluation with 10-fold cross-validation, we confirmed that it can detect approaching vehicle with an average F-value of 97.4 [%].
