How Connectivity Helps Close Visibility Gaps for Cyclists and Vehicles

0:00 Intro 0:52 Use Case: Cyclist Ahead 1:21 Use Case: Bike Back 1:53 Use Case: Intersection 2:17 Outro Cyclists and other vulnerable road users are often involved in crashes not because drivers are careless, but because they are simply not visible. Traditional vehicle sensors can only detect what is in direct line of sight. Traffic, buildings, road layout, and weather can hide cyclists and pedestrians until it is too late to react. Connectivity adds a new layer of awareness by allowing road users to share presence and intent beyond what cameras and radar can see. This video explains how a layered connectivity approach works in real-world traffic: Cloud-based awareness enables early, wide-area notifications beyond line of sight Direct V2X communication provides precise, real-time awareness as vehicles and vulnerable road users draw closer Together, these layers support connected awareness in everyday scenarios such as: A cyclist ahead around a bend A cyclist approaching from behind in a blind spot Intersections where visibility is limited by parked cars or buildings Developed through collaboration between Spoke, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Audi–Volkswagen Group, this approach demonstrates how connected mobility technologies are real, available today, and ready to scale across the transportation ecosystem.
