Abstract
How can the use of IoT improve safely navigation for kick scooters? The context-aware and location-based solution combines an embedded smart bracelet and a mobile phone. The integrated platform provides a ubiquitous service, which gives kick scooters the ability to safely navigate by reducing distractions.
A key motivation was to minimize attention to the external disturbances during navigation and maximize attention to the route itself. This was achieved by (1) providing guidance while navigating via synchronized vibro-tactile feedback on a smart bracelet; (2) developing a vibration language on the bracelet; (3) allowing users to produce navigation routes in-advanced on their mobile phone, or consume existing routes in real-time.
The solution was designed for inclusive and tested in real-life situations on busy roads in the city.
