According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system (100) for rear awareness to assist a rider of two wheeler vehicles (102). The system (100) includes a rear sensing engine (202) mounted at a rear portion of the vehicle (102) to monitor tailgating objects, an IMU sensor (108) fixed to a handlebar to sense lean angle and steering motion, and at least one pair of seat pressure sensors (110) disposed under left and right seating zones to detect rider posture. An electronic control engine (200) continuously classifies distance data from the rear sensing engine (202) into safe (308), caution (310), warning (312) and critical (314) distance zones for left and right sides, determines whether the vehicle (102) is leaning or steering towards the detected object, and generates graded multi modal alerts accordingly. A plurality of alert indicators (226, 228, 234, 236) execute the alerts to provide intent and distance dependent visual, auditory and haptic warnings."
