If large parts of the cyclist's body or bicycle
are not visible to the function's camera then
the system cannot detect a cyclist.
The function can only "see" cyclists from behind,
who are travelling in the same direction.
•
For the function to be able to detect a
cyclist, he/she must be an adult and rid-
ing a "senior bicycle".

The bicycle must be equipped with a

directly from behind and who are travel-
ling in the same direction - not at an
angle from behind, not from the side.

lines may be detected late or not at all.
The reflector must fulfil the recommendations and conditions of the traffic authority in the market in question.
