Introduction

• Widespread and Fascinating sport in Taiwan

• Variety of issues such as health, energy saving, leisure, and competition

Accident Ranking

Taiwan that ranks third in the world, and the number of injuries increasing every year！

Focus cyclist group• Advance cyclists

• Love cycling• Enjoy riding with others • Familiar with bicycle operations • Assembly• Engage in long-distance travel to increase their stamina.

• General cyclists • A leisure activity • Often travel with family members and friends• To established routes or to sites of attraction

Advance cyclists

General cyclists

• Learning and emotional connections

• Social connection and cultivate feelings

The most prevalent

Forming emotional bonds with others, learn from cycling experiences

The cyclist motivation included 4 followings:

• The pursuit of nature

• Join in the cycling flow

Enjoy the beauty of natural landscapes,and nature environment

Attract the interest of cyclist groups, learn from cycling experiences,

• The lack of information & companion

• The lack of riding motivation

• Uneven road

• Increasing number of injuries

Problems

Research Process Methods

Design• Improve the riding motivation

1. Exchanging POI based on the distance (km) travelled.

2. Collecting location achievement badge.

• Provision of information1. The Augmented Reality of local

information.2. Comment of other cyclists on the

road.3. providing dangers sign.4. Providing store & market around

you.

Design• Close to the crowd

1. Display friends that near you .2. Share your information & picture to

the social website.

• Improve safety purpose1. Showing dangerous path or

previous encountered date.2. Mark dangerous sections avoid

other cyclists got hurt.

ImplementationWe survey about 30 cyclists .Most cyclist likely needed to be provide few following function below and wish to update constantly .

• The road direction and sigh board • Display the sign of toilets, stores,

hospital• To preview some weather updates • Precautions of the road pits• Road commenting and feedbacks • Ranking route • social effectiveness • Provide walkie-talkie function to

stay connect with other cyclist and preventing out lost. ( Cycling team)

• Stopwatch(Heartbeat / Speed / Time / Distance)

• Display friends that near you• Ranking the road & mark the dangers • Exchanging POI based on the distance (km) travelled.• Share your information & picture to social websites.

• Cycling team Bluetooth wireless walkie-talkie• Detect lost out teammate.

Evaluation

Conclusion• We used crowdsourcing to solve the problems of cycling information and companionship.

• During the interview process, we learned that the emotional needs of cyclists are based on the interactions between groups, whereas their personal needs were comparatively more rational, such as the pursuit of superior data or scores and to challenge themselves.

• Future research development regarding cyclists should switch from individual experience to social needs and incorporate studies of psychological gratification.
