A bicycle radar system including a camera is disclosed. The system may include a radar unit and a mobile electronic device that are in communication with one another. The radar unit may transmit radar signals, receive return signals (reflections), and process the returned radar signals to determine a location and velocity of one or more targets located in a sensor field behind a user's bicycle. The mobile electronic device may include a communication component configured to wirelessly receive content including cartographic data and one or more high-risk geographic areas and a processor configured to determine a threat level based on the targets, the high-risk geographic area and a determined geographic position.

Camera augmented bicycle radar sensor system

A bicycle radar system including a camera is disclosed. The system may include a radar unit and a bicycle computing device that are in communication with one another. The radar unit may transmit radar signals, receive return signals (reflections), and process the returned radar signals to determine a location and velocity of one or more targets located in a sensor field behind a user's bicycle. The radar unit may also include an integrated camera to selectively provide images or video of an area behind the bicycle in the camera's field of view. The radar unit may analyze the returned radar signals and images and/or video to track the location of targets located behind the bicycle. The bicycle computing device or the radar unit may also selectively activate the camera based upon the satisfaction of particular conditions.
