OUR TECHNOLOGY

Collision Alert Technology for Scooters

01 / FAST

CATS identifies hazards sooner than the rider might, and so increases the rider's "situational awareness" 

02 / SECURE

A rider who is keenly aware of potential hazards is better prepared to take quick action to prevent an accident 

3.

Rider Alerts:

The CATS system beeps and blinks a warning lamp when a hazard is determined; alerts quickly intensify urging the rider to take action

Meet CATS

CATS is an innovative system that is designed to reduce accidents and improve e-scooter safety.

The Problem

“Micro-mobility” means using small vehicles like bikes, Segways, and electric scooters (e-scooters) to move short distances. Micro-mobility is environmentally friendly, reduces car traffic, and reduces our use of oil. For example, rentable e-scooters are often found in many large city centers and on college campuses for use as “transportation on demand”; customers use a smartphone app to rent available e-scooters for quick trips as needed. 

​

​

Unfortunately, many accidents and injuries are now happening with the arrival of rented e-scooters. The Journal of American Medical Association reported that 40,000 injuries and 29 deaths are related to e-scooter accidents. Certainly these accidents are a problem. The safety concern causes many people to fear e-scooters and some cities to ban their use. 

​

​

We chose to address the problem of accidents related to electric scooter use and the slow acceptance of this valuable transportation mode. 

​

​

By addressing the accident problem, we can reduce the major concern that discourages people from using E-scooters. The increased e-scooters usage inside cities will foster environmentally friendly transportation. This will ultimately reduce road traffic, pollution, and the use of fuel for shorter distance transportation.
