- Uses various modules to keep rider well informed
- Can detect accident by using accelerometer and gyroscope sensors
- Could be part of all future TVS motorcycles and scooters
TVS is currently developing a two-wheeler safety system that could revolutionise the industry. This system has been developed to make riding safer and bring down the number of accidents.
According to our sources, this safety system can be integrated with the vehicle through a series of sensors or through a smartphone via an application developed by TVS. The working of this system depends on various modules like mode detection, accident detection along with parking area detection. There’s also a driving pattern detection and analysis (DPDA) module that records the route taken by the rider and even the braking patterns. In fact, this system is so advanced that it can also show the number of times the pass-by switch has been used.
There’s also a riding environment detection (RED) module which will provide information to the rider on traffic congestions ahead and alternative options. This system is also capable of communicating with central weather service to determine the climatic conditions. It also has the capability to wirelessly communicate with the vehicles coming from the opposite direction to determine the nature of the road and the weather. This safety system can also detect accident when there’s a sudden change in the acceleration of the vehicle. If it detects an accident, it will go into the emergency mode where it will trigger the horn to attract passersby or switch on the hazard lamps or even send an sms or a phone call to a saved number. In fact, the system is capable of shutting off fuel outlets in order to prevent fuel leak.
TVS already has a Bluetooth enabled smart information system that it launched with the NTorq. This system, which uses an android application, has the provision to show trip numbers, top speed reached and even the last parked location. However, the upcoming safety system is far more advanced and will change the way we perceive a motorcycle or a scooter. We contacted TVS to know if the Creon e-scooter or the Zeppelin cruiser will get this system, but they refused to comment.
