    To better protect themselves, many cyclists are starting to ride with cameras mounted to the front or back of their bicycle.

The architecture of the solution uses Amazon Rekognition to detect vehicles in recorded bike ride videos. It then analyzes the video to determine if any vehicles are passing too close to the cyclist, within the 3-foot safe distance required by law. The solution automatically generates video clips of these dangerous passing events, which can then be shared with authorities to help improve cyclist safety.
