Abstract
This research to provide comfortable apparel for bike riding that incorporates safety. Specifically, the information and communications technology (ICT) device, arduino, is applied to the clothing design process. Riders’ moving direction is considered to maximize their visibility and thus their safety. With this focus, a proper jumper and vest are developed. As the first part of our research method, a demand survey was performed. Based on its result, the actual clothes were made. The concept of this kind of clothing is basically urban sports wear. Clothes are designed for bike riding women in their 20s; and they will also work as designs for their daily lives during the spring and fall seasons. Three-layered Gore Tex was selected as the main fabric. Colors such as pistachio green, reflex blue, deept mahogany, and crimson were chosen. For the direction indicating device, an arduino device was adopted. LED lighting indicators were applied to both the jumper and the vest at key areas, including the front, right side, and left side, as well between the lower part of scapula and the waist line.
