Head movement for traffic visual searching, is one of the important factors in traffic safety. In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and preliminary evaluation of the HeadSense, a helmet device that detects the head movement of micro-mobility rider. HeadSense is capable of generating data streams using the embedded 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. After the process of segmentation and classification algorithm, HeadSense can automatically detect an individual's head movement sequence and visual search episodes, across the rider's entire riding journey. Experiments with 5 participants show that our system achieves 94.7% for per-second level detection and 80.59% F1-score for per-episode level detection.

While micro-mobility brings convenience to the modern city, they also cause various social problems such as trac accidents, casualties, and huge economic losses. Wearing protective equipment has become the primary recommendation for safe riding, but passive protection cannot prevent accidents from happening after all. Thus, timely predicting the rider's maneuver is essential for more active protection and buying more time to avoid potential accidents from happening. In this poster, we explore the feasibility of using riders' head dynamics to predict their riding maneuvers. Through ten participants' preliminary study, we observed that not only do riders' head movements appear ahead of their maneuvers but also head movement patterns are distinct with dierent maneuver intentions. We then construct a deep learning network using Long Short Term Memory, achieving 89% of accuracy on maneuver prediction.
