Rider

Rider sends text message (SMS) with user's location after motorcycle accident.

Rider monitors the acceleration and rotation sensors of the smartphone and sends a text (SMS) if a sudden deceleration or rotation is detected, indicating a possible motorcycle accident.

The ACCIDENT message sent by Rider contains a Google Maps link informing the location.

Accident reporting adopts the following criteria:

1) On-road rides: Deceleration (impact) above 2 g or a rotation greater than 500 degrees/second, when the user is riding his motorcycle above 12 mph. The accident will be reported if, 15 seconds after the impact or rotation, the speed is below 3 mph, indicating that the motorcycle stop moving and the user has probably fallen.

2) Off-road rides: Same criteria, with the exception of the deceleration (impact), which must be above 4 g.

Rider also sends text messages with the location, if the button HELP ME! is pressed three times.

After the initial ACCIDENT or HELP ME! message, Rider will transmit location messages every 10 minutes.

In case of an ACCIDENT alarm, the APP. will beep and show the registered SMS number on the screen every 10 seconds. This feature may help paramedics or bypassers to contact the selected SMS number, in case the user is unconscious, providing that the smartphone screen is turned on, even if password protected.

The app. also provides an I AM OK! button that, when pressed once, sends a message informing that the user is safe.
