This conceptual test shows how the proposed Cooperative Safety system for Vulnerable Road Users (CS4VRU) architecture can be used to alert cyclists about closing vehicles adding a wearable device embedded in their helmet. Over the architecture provided by CS4VRU a safety application has been developed using the cellular as a communications hub that allows cyclist to share his position and receive information about the relative position of surrounding vehicles through a cooperative VANET network. Cyclist is warmed through a set of LEDs installed in his helmet. These LEDs are controlled by a small embedded system connected to the cellular using a Bluetooth Low Energy link.
