System SUI - overview - System SUI is a two-product system designed to enhance the safety of motorcycle riders. It does so by raising awareness of the rider's presence and intention.
communicative headlamp - Various light effects of the headlamp indicate if the rider is accelerating, traveling at a constant speed, or braking. The contrasting lighting effects allows a car driver to better understand the intention of the motorcycle rider through the rear/side view mirror.
internal view of communicative headlamp - 12-volt LED strips and panels are used for the lighting effects, note walls to prevent optical mixing of colors.
communicative headlamp exploded view - Exploded view of communicative headlamp showing front housing, color filters and main housing connected by Boss fittings.
control unit components - note accelerometer (green) that senses rate of acceleration and transmits the signal to the microprocessor (dark blue), which in turn controls the different array of light effects.
control unit - the control unit housing is fastened around the throttle of a motorcycle's steering bar.
