Tailight
Project Scope
The project pivoted to building a bike light connected to a proximity sensor positioned in the rear of the bike just underneath the rider’s seat. When a driver creeps up behind a rider and breaks the threshold set by the sensor, the LED bulb will provide a bright strobe light.
The bike light prototype will be housed in a plastic enclosure. Holes will be drilled into the top of the enclosure, where zip ties will be used to fix the light to the bars under the seat.
