The effect of transport-related pollution on human health is fast becomingrecognised as a major issue in cities worldwide. Cyclists, in particular, facegreat risks, as they typically are most exposed to tail-pipe emissions. Threeavenues are being explored worldwide in the fight against urban pollution: (i)outright bans on polluting vehicles and embracing zero tailpipe emissionvehicles; (ii) measuring air-quality as a means to better informing citizens ofzones of higher pollution; and (iii) developing smart mobility devices thatseek to minimize the effect of polluting devices on citizens as they transportgoods and individuals in our cities. Following this latter direction, in thispaper we present a new way to protect cyclists from the effect of urbanpollution. Namely, by exploiting the actuation possibilities afforded bypedelecs or e-bikes (electric bikes), we design a cyber-physical system thatmitigates the effect of urban pollution by indirectly controlling the breathingrate of cyclists in polluted areas. Results from a real device are presented toillustrate the efficacy of our system.
