TurnBike
Williamsburg Bridge has clearly separated lanes for bike and pedestrian traffic but people do not enter their designated lanes
which can result in pedestrian and bike accidents.
Problem
How can we address this problem ?
TurnBike is a system that prevents bike and pedestrian accidents by recognizing users, sending alert signal, and
guiding them to the appropriate paths.
