Abstract: A method is performed for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The method includes calculating a first movement amount of the human-powered vehicle on a road from at least one of a rotational speed of a wheel of the human-powered vehicle and a rotational amount of the wheel. The method further includes calculating a second movement distance in an advancing direction of the human-powered vehicle and a horizontal direction from the first movement distance and a pitch angle of the human-powered vehicle and calculating a third movement distance related to movement in the advancing direction of the human-powered vehicle and a vertical direction from the first movement distance and the pitch angle. The method further includes predicting a terrain of the road from the second movement distance and the third movement distance.

Abstract: According some aspects, an automated bicycle emergency braking system may be retrofitted to a commercial pedestrian bicycle to provide emergency braking functionality. Aspects described therein detail a light-weight and consumer affordable automated bicycle emergency braking system for improving pedestrian bicycle safety. Aspects described therein relate to sensing of a bicycle's surroundings for potentially hazardous objects, identifying a potentially hazardous road condition, determining whether to engage a bicycle's mechanical braking system, determining how long to engage a bicycle's mechanical braking system, and disengaging a bicycle's mechanical braking system until determining confirmation of resolution of the pedestrian bicyclist's safety regarding the identified potentially hazardous road condition.

Abstract: A method for compensating for a temperature drift of an accelerometer for measuring the lateral tilt of a motorbike. When the vehicle is in the “bike upright” condition, and the temperature of the accelerometer is at least 30° C. above its reference temperature, a reading is taken of the acceleration values. These values are then processed in order to identify the coefficient of the slope of the straight line for correcting the offset of each axis of the accelerometer. A processing operation involves verifying the strict monotony of the coefficients in at least two successive readings and ensuring that the mean value thereof is included between determined limits. The mean coefficient that is finally obtained then can be used to correct the temperature of accelerations read over the entire operating range of the accelerometer. Thus, the computation of the tilt angle of the motorbike is more precise.

Abstract: The bike (10) comprises a frame provided with a front wheel (12) oriented by a handlebar, a saddle (39) and a crankset. The bike (10) further comprises two pivoting rear uprights (18, 19) each carrying a rear wheel (22, 23), the pivoting rear uprights being mounted by independent pivot links on the frame.
The crankset actuates two drive means (26, 27, 59, 60) independent of the rear wheels. The drive means of each rear wheel comprises a free wheel (59, 60). The drive means are configured such that, in a bend, only the rear wheel located on the inside of the bend is driven by the crankset, the rear wheel located on the outside of the bend freewheeling and not being driven by the crankset.

Abstract: A method for classifying an accident event of a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a bicycle. The method can be run in the form of an algorithm in a device comprising an analysis unit in order to indicate to the rider or a third party that the two-wheeled vehicle has been involved in a collision or has fallen over using a corresponding generated and/or transmitted item of information. The device can be used in a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a bicycle or in particular in an electric bicycle. However, it can of course also be used in a motorcycle or another single-track vehicle.

Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that is configured to control a motor that assists in propulsion of a human-powered vehicle and that stops assisting in the propulsion of the human-powered vehicle at a timing suitable for a state of the human-powered vehicle or a state of a road. The electronic controller drives the motor in correspondence with a human drive force upon determining a traveling speed of the human-powered vehicle is less than a predetermined speed that is higher than 0 km/h. The electronic controller varies the predetermined speed in correspondence with at least one of a state of the human-powered vehicle and a state of a road on which the human-powered vehicle travels. The electronic controller does not assist the propulsion of the human-powered vehicle upon determining the traveling speed of the human-powered vehicle is greater than or equal to the predetermined speed.
