2. Smart Scooter : Solving e-scooter safety problems with multi-modal, privacy-preserving sensor technology and machine learning
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Micromobility ride-share scooters (e-scooters) have become a popular mode of transport in several major cities around the world, yet several safety and accessibility issues stem from how these scooters are operated, including sidewalk riding, unsafe parking and wrong-way riding. This thesis tackles these issues through a novel, privacy-preserving, end-to-end sensor system that employs lightweight machine learning models to provide real-time feedback to users to present unsafe scooter operation.
