Method, apparatus, and system for providing automatic alerts for transportation maneuver events
An approach is provided for determining vehicle maneuver events. The approach, for example, involves determining sensor data from a sensor of a device associated with a vehicle. The sensor data includes a maneuver parameter represented using a device frame of reference. The approach also involves transforming the maneuver parameter from the device frame of reference to an Earth frame of reference. The approach further involves automatically detecting a maneuver event of the vehicle based on the maneuver parameter as transformed to the Earth frame of reference. The approach further involves providing the detected maneuver event to a signaling unit associated with the vehicle.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
A control system in accordance for a human-powered vehicle comprises a brake device configured to brake a wheel, a brake operating device operated to actuate the brake device, a first communication path configured to communicate a first actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device, and a second communication path configured to communicate a second actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device. The second communication path differs from the first communication path.

CONTROLLER INDICATION
A coordinator device for a bicycle includes a processor configured to receive a signal generated in response to user input at an input element from a controller device. The signal includes data identifying a device type and data identifying the input element. The coordinator device includes a memory configured to store the data identifying the device type and the data identifying the input element. The processor is configured to generate a notification based on the received signal, transmit the generated notification to the mobile device, and in response to the transmission of the generated notification, receive a request for data related to the received signal from the mobile device. The processor is further configured, in response to the request, to transmit the stored data to the mobile device, such that an association of the controller device with the representation of the controller device is identifiable within the GUI at the mobile device.

Balancing vehicle and control method therefor
A balancing vehicle includes a wheel, a bracket, a frame, a shock absorbing member, pedals, a control rod, and a handle. The bracket is fixed to an axle of the wheel. The frame is slidably connected to the bracket through a slider fixedly connected to the bracket, so as to allow the frame to slide relative to the bracket. The shock absorbing member is disposed between the frame and the bracket, and is configured to cushion relative movement between the frame and the bracket. The pedals are fixed to the frame. The control rod is configured to move back and forth in a direction of travel. The balancing vehicle accelerates when the control rod is pushed forward in the traveling direction, and the balancing vehicle decelerates or retreats when the control rod is pulled backward in the traveling direction. The handle is coupled to a top of the control rod.

Controller, control method, and brake system
A controller and a control method are capable of improving safety by automatic emergency deceleration action while suppressing a motorcycle from falling over. One arrangement also obtains a brake system that includes such a controller. In the controller, the control method, and the brake system, a control mode that causes the motorcycle to take the automatic emergency deceleration action is initiated in response to trigger information generated in accordance with peripheral environment of the motorcycle. In the control mode, automatic emergency deceleration that is deceleration of the motorcycle generated by the automatic emergency deceleration action is controlled in accordance with a lean angle of the motorcycle.
Three-wheeled tilting vehicle
A tiltable vehicle is configured to transform between an autonomous mode and a rideable mode by pivoting the handlebars and steering column of the vehicle about a pitch axis. In the autonomous mode, the steering column is folded back toward the chassis and a tiltable chassis of the vehicle is prevented from tilting. In the rideable mode, the steering column is unfolded and the chassis is free to tilt. In some examples, a tiltable vehicle includes features beneficial for vehicle-sharing, such as parking devices or a basket. These features may be included on any suitable vehicle and are not limited to use on transforming vehicles.
