| Background: |
|
| BikeView is a portal for the BikeNet system which is part of the MetroSense Project that allows users to visualize their rides or interact in realtime with other riders that may be on the road. |
|
| Each ride (once selected by clicking on a ride in "Rides" pane) is visualized over Google Map and sensor data collected during the ride is displayed on the map by selecting specific sensors on the bike sensor picture ("Bike Sensor" pane). |
|
| The following sensors are supported by the BikeNet system: tilt and lateral sensors, sound mapping sensor, CO2 sensor,
wheel and pedal rpm sensors, GSR (galvanic skin response for stress and emotion mapping) sensor, and magnatometer sensor (for car detection). BikeView also includes GPS data, and optionally video for each ride. |
|
| These sensors are used by the BikeNet system to compute various metrics for ride, cyclist
performance, ride enjoyability, and evironmental sensing that capture the cyclist's experience. |
|
| The BikeNet system is fully automated: a user goes out for a ride and
the sensor data is automatically collected en-route and uploaded
at Sensor Access Points (SAPs), and made available by the BikeView portal. |
|
| How to get Started: |
|
| 1) Select a ride in the "Rides" pane. A Google Map should be visible but no data is on the map. |
|
| 2) Select any sensor on the picture of the bike in the "Bike Sensor" pane. |
|
| The sensor data is now overlayed on the map. At the bottom
of the map the legend shows the range of sensed data values for the
specific sensor selected; note, this represents a key to the overlayed
sensed data collected along the cyclists route. A plot of the sensor
reading against distance is also shown in the "Sensor Plot" pane. |
|
| Note, that if video was collected during the ride it is available to
be viewed in the "Ride Video Footage" pane. |
|
| 3) You can keep selecting different sensors (simply click on another
sensor in the "Bike Sensor" pane) for a particular ride to
look at different types of sensed data that may be available.
The type of sensed data available for a particular
ride is dependent on the sensors available on a bike and whether
they were enabled or not. |
|
| You can keep 'cycling' through different sensors for a particular run. |
|
| Once you have completed viewing a specific ride you can move to a
different ride by simply clicking on a different ride in the "Rides"
pane. |
|
| Warning: |
|
| Note that this is a beta version of the BikeView portal. Sometimes the display hangs
in which case a refresh of your browser will help! We have tested BikeView
on most browsers and it seems to work ok. |
