Horseback riding is enjoyed by millions of people worldwide, both as a competitive sport and as recreational activity. Horses have a congenital habit to flee from potential danger and the nature of the sport carries with it a risk of falling from the horse. Equestrians are often riding alone and the additional risk of being unaided after a severe fall accident is prominent. The need of a smartphone application able to sense a fall and automatically contact preselected relatives is identified. An equestrian fall detection algorithm using smartphone sensor data is developed in this master thesis. The work was made from scratch, including data recording of both normal horseback riding activities and simulated fall events. Additional signal rep...
