Abstract
In an effort to improve the technology of motorcycle safety, we have developed an advanced motorcycle using electronic control and information communication technologies.
The Motorcycle AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) measures the bank angle and rotates the headlight to the rolling direction. As a result, the AFS improves the visibility of a motorcycle that is cornering at nighttime.
The Motorcycle Night Vision System early detects pedestrians ahead at nighttime by using an infrared camera. This system captures infrared camera images that are not visible to the naked eye, extracts the figure of pedestrians by image processing, and provides the rider with the information on the presence of detected pedestrians.
