Abstract
A context-aware safety device includes a wireless transceiver, a memory storing an application, and one or more processors. When executing the application, the one or more processors are configured to determine a context of a safety device, configure an alert based on the determined context, and broadcast the configured alert using the wireless transceiver.
Claims18
A wearable safety device, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver;
- a memory storing an application;
- and
- one or more processors that, when executing the application, are configured to:
- determine, based on position data of the wearable safety device, a risk that one or more autonomous vehicles will collide with a user wearing the wearable safety device, the user being external to any vehicle;
- generate, based on the determined risk, a collision risk alert;
- and
- upon generating the collision risk alert, broadcast the collision risk alert using the wireless transceiver to the one or more autonomous vehicles, wherein the collision risk alert includes a request for the one or more autonomous vehicles to emit an alert sound or alert light.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors of a wearable safety device based on position data of the wearable safety device, a risk that one or more autonomous vehicles will collide with a user wearing the wearable safety device, the user, being external to any vehicle;
- generating, by the one or more processors and based on the determined risk, a collision risk alert;
- and
- upon generating the collision risk alert, broadcasting, by the one or more processors using a wireless transceiver, the collision risk alert to the one or more autonomous vehicles, wherein the collision risk alert includes a request for the one or more autonomous vehicles to emit an alert sound or alert light.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wearable safety device, cause the one or more processors to perform steps of:
- determining, based on position data of the wearable safety device, a risk that one or more autonomous vehicles will collide with a user wearing the wearable safety device, the user, being external to any vehicle;
- generating, based on the determined risk, a collision risk alert;
- and
- upon generating the collision risk alert, broadcasting the collision risk alert using a wireless transceiver to the one or more autonomous vehicles, wherein the collision risk alert includes a request for the one or more autonomous vehicles to emit an alert sound or alert light.
