“Experienced cyclists have this mental map of which streets are safe and which are unsafe.” @UW#UWAllen’s Joe Breda and team created the ProxiCycle sensor system to help more people get a handle on which routes are best for bikes.🚴#CHI2025#UWInnovates https://t.co/pT7Mk6SwXb
Happy to be at CHI to present NightLight along with co-first author @breda_joe on using smartphones to aggregate and map lighting conditions for pedestrians.
Come to our session-"Social Good" Tuesday 4/29 at 9am to learn more and check out our paper:

@willigula@Qagggy 6 lanes of car traffic... Such a bummer because this would have been a great opportunity to connect the Elliot bay bike path to the rest of the city.
In Washington State 85% of pedestrian fatalities do not involve drunk drivers, 96% do not involve speeding, and 77% do not involve distracted drivers. If the majority of pedestrian fatalities are due to drivers using the roads normally, maybe its time to rethink our road design.
@Qagggy Same criticism for the construction on 46th and Linden. All the sidewalks at this intersection were fully repaved and new curbs installed last year. a few months later they realized they missed the chance to install curb bulbs at this crosswalk and just added some white paint.
@Boenau My city has a page on their website admitting that after a 3 year study they found no significant improvement in motorist compliance. After seeing this I find the use of these flags a bit insulting.

@typewriteralley Yes, that's definitely a reasonable justification for delays. Though I am surprised that there wasn't a single bus on this, one of the highest traffic transit corridors in the city for an hour, even under these conditions. All while the real-time display said bus in 5 min.
@Spottnik@typewriteralley what is going on with this bus "rapid transit"? I had to pick up my roommate after he waited for the E line for nearly an hour after work.
Thermometers use sensors called thermistors to estimate body temperature. Smartphones use the same to monitor battery temperature. @UW#UWAllen@UWashEM researchers developed a way to use a smartphone to detect if a person has a fever📱🤒: https://t.co/x6ZIjqSnkj #ThisIsUW
