SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THROTTLING TO ACCELERATION TARGETS
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining a target acceleration profile for a micromobility vehicle based on one or more criteria. The target acceleration profile includes target accelerations of the micromobility vehicle for different throttle positions. The computer-implemented method also includes detecting a current throttle position of the micromobility vehicle. The computer-implemented method also includes determining, using the target acceleration profile, a target acceleration corresponding to the current throttle position of the micromobility vehicle. The computer-implemented method also includes modifying a torque magnitude of the micromobility vehicle based at least on the determined target acceleration.
CREATING EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND INDICATIONS OF A VEHICLE STATE
Presented here is a system and method for creating easy-to-understand notifications of the vehicle state. The notification can be visual or can be auditory and can indicate to the user the vehicle state even when the user's attention is directed elsewhere. The indication can serve to attract the user's attention before more involved information is presented to the user, such as text, or the indication can serve to communicate to the user the vehicle state in an easy-to-understand way such as using color-coded displays or audio indications. The intensity of the indication can be adjusted based on the likelihood that indication will be perceived by the user by, for example, measuring ambient light and/or ambient noise. Reducing the intensity of the indication conserves energy of an energy source associated with the vehicle.
UNLOCKING AN ELECTRIC BICYCLE VIA A MOUNTED DEVICE
