Ridar Systems, Inc.

Ridar Systems has developed a cloud-based mobile solution which allows two-wheelers (motorcycles & bicycles) to be part of the connected car conversation. How does this work? Ridar utilizes existing hardware (smartphone) as well as existing infrastructure (3G/4G/5G) to optimize the locations of both driver & rider. When a driver and rider are approaching the same geographic location, Ridar Systems' robust predictive algorithm notifies the driver when the rider is ~5 seconds from their predicted path of travel. From the rider-side of this equation, there is no UX/HMI to distract them--all visible data can be seen after a ride is completed. This data includes number of miles ridden, total time ridden and, most importantly, how many times this rider has been detected by a driver. As motorcycle & bicycle enthusiasts, we at Ridar Systems understand the dangers sharing a road with much larger vehicles and the fact that we are not always visible to those drivers. With this technology, we hope to level the road-sharing field by allowing riders to be more easily recognized by drivers and prevent such accidents from happening in the first place.
