# Commuter Safety Devices This Electronic System Uses Sensors to Ensure the Safety of Users By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-06-21 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commuter-safety References: [bikebiz](http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/cycloshield-announces-crowdfunding-campaign/019702) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cycloshield/1661288724?token=cd991a65) These commuter safety devices, entitled 'Cycloshield.' offer threat detection for bikers on the road. The device can be attached to the rod that holds the seat of the bike and features sensors that "allows detection of accidents and falls." The commuter safety device can detect [an approaching threat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycle-radar) -- such as when a car is approaching too quickly and close to the biker -- and can perform actions from there. Once a threat is detected, the bike starts recording for liability purposes and can also contact emergency services after an accident. The device additionally monitors fitness, contains a [built-in GPS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclehud) and connects through Wi-fi or Bluetooth. Bikers are much more vulnerable on the road in comparison to drivers, so safety-ensuring devices such as this one are crucial for those who depend on cycling as an important part of their daily commute. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Commuter Safety Sensors:** The use of sensors in safety devices offers opportunities for detecting and preventing accidents on the road. - **Liability Recording Devices:** Innovations that record liability incidents can provide protection for bikers against potential legal and insurance issues. - **Integrated Fitness Monitoring:** The integration of fitness monitoring into safety devices offers opportunities for combining health and safety for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Biking Industry:** Biking industries can benefit from incorporating safety devices that can detect and prevent accidents on the road. - **Insurance Industry:** Insurance companies can provide discounts or incentives for consumers who use safety devices that record liability incidents on the road. - **Fitness Industry:** Fitness industries can collaborate with safety device companies to offer consumers devices that combine fitness monitoring and safety precautions on the road. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Road-Monitoring Cyclist Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-driver-assistance-system.md) - [Collision Alert Bike Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadio-system.md) - [Bike-Mounted Cyclist Safety Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-camera.md) - [Cyclist Safety-Focused Smart Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-safety1.md) - [Radar-Equipped Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannondale-synapse.md) - [Connected Cyclist Radar Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryton-gardia-r300l.md) - [Vehicle-Tracking Cyclist Radar Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-varia-rearvue-820.md) - [Light-Equipped Cyclist Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-dash-cam.md) - [Safety-Enhancing Ride Share Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bosch-ridecare.md)
