Steer-by-wire smart bike uses rider intent detection to prevent crashes

Summary
Researchers have developed a steer-by-wire smart bicycle system that uses sensors and algorithms to detect rider intent and automatically intervene to prevent loss of control and crashes. The technology reads rider inputs like steering torque and lean angle to distinguish between intentional leaning (e.g., for turns) and unintentional instability (e.g., from gravel or over-leaning). When it detects an impending wipeout, the system subtly adjusts steering to maintain stability without disrupting the riding experience. This addresses a growing need as e-bikes reach higher speeds, making stability control more critical.

· 3 pulledWe've all been there at one time or another — riding over a patch of loose gravel or leaning a little too hard into a corner when, in an instant, the bike starts to slide away beneath us.
Riders must intentionally lean into turns, which makes it challenging to recognize when actual stability is compromised.
The system reads rider intent to stop crashes before they happen without ruining the ride.
