Improving the safety of cyclists, who are considered vulnerable road users, is essential. Implementing a warning system that alerts cyclists to nearby hazards an effective method improve their safety. Nevertheless, literature needs comprehensive and detailed review cyclist systems. This paper presents systematic existing studies about technologies systems developed safety, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (n = 78). Based on review, it was found most used were cameras with artificial intelligence (AI), ultrasonic sensors, lidar, radar. Furthermore, there some insights from conducted cycling experiments use system: (1) participating responded positively technologies/systems, (2) preferred auditory signals over visual or haptic as modalities, (3) technologies/systems influenced cyclists' behaviour during critical situations, such early braking, faster reactions, increased focus, maintaining safer distance, temporarily reducing speed, (4) only two tried explore how affect crash risk. Future research should focus developing compact, lightweight, affordable. More also needed demonstrate impact identifies gaps in current offers solid foundation future enhance
