| Abstract: | As a response to the growing demand for solutions to improve and manage bicycle utilization in cities, this paper aims to design and evaluate the features of bike-to-bike (B2B) communication via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Our proposal is a system that disseminates relevant data from surrounding bikes to aid the cyclist in detecting hazardous obstacles and scenarios. Our system uses bi-directional connectionless communication to broadcast messages containing position information to nearby bikes. To determine the possible use cases of our communication design, we evaluated with practical measurements different sets of BLE parameters and compared them with the analytical model from previous research. By doing so, we confirmed that scan window duration and synchronization are critical factors for optimal message delivery. Moreover, the number of copies sent is a relevant option to reduce energy consumption with minimal effects on message delivery. Our results show that even for timecritical applications B2B via BLE could be an option. |
