The lab of... Cycling lab, 3mE

Jelle de Haan is graduating at biomedical engineering. In the photo he is mounting force sensors for the ‘passive bicycle rider identification’ project. ‘The aim is to better understand the interaction between bicycle and driver. Then we can make better bicycle models, with which we can increase safety and reduce the number of accidents, especially for e-bike. E-bikes are popular with older people, but they are not always able to cycle at high speeds. It is striking that e-bikes often involve single bicycle accidents: people who fall over without colliding with other road users. We must be able to reduce that.
