Iranian inventor makes bike for the blind

Tehran, July 22: Iranian inventor Nader Majdnia designs an intelligent bicycle for the blind that he says is automatically controlled without the navigation of cyclists.

“The bicycle has an intelligent control system which eliminates the need for cyclists to direct the bike,” said the Iranian inventor.

According to Majdnia, all the cyclist needs to do is to move the pedals and the bicycle finds its way with the help of optoelectronics.

The bicycle stops when it deviates from its main route.

“Its automatic brake is activated when the bicycle deviates from its designated path. The wheels are locked with the help of the brakes; the lock is then deactivated after it is guided back on course,” he explained.

Majdnia said the bicycle has been sent for mass production.
