An anti-theft control method for a vehicle comprises determining whether an enabling signal is received by a control device in an anti-theft mode; performing an anti-theft control process by the control device when receiving the enabling signal, wherein the anti-theft control process comprising: detecting a set of position information related to the motor by a position sensor; generating an anti-theft control command according to the set of position information and further outputting a plurality of switching control instructions according to the anti-theft control command by the control device; and outputting a locking command to the motor by a power driving device according to the plurality of switching control instructions for driving the motor to generate a braking force. The locking command comprises a plurality of PWM signals, with one of the plurality of PWM signals has two adjacent periods having the same duty ratio.

A driving device for an electric vehicle includes a pedal shaft, first and second electric motors, an output shaft, and a superposition transmission whose gear ratio is steplessly adjustable by way of the electric motors. The transmission also couples the pedal shaft and the output shaft to each other. A torque generated by the first electric motor and/or the second electric motor can be at least partially transmitted to the output shaft. The driving device further includes an electronic anti-theft device used to lock the bicycle. When locked, at least one of the electric motors is operable to generate a torque that counteracts a rotation of the pedal shaft in a forward direction of rotation to inhibit theft of the bicycle.

A vehicle charging station for use in transmitting charging power to an electric vehicle for use in charging the vehicle is configured to communicatively couple to the electric vehicle via a network connection to a wireless network provider and electrically couple to the electric vehicle via a connector. Vehicle charging station is further configured to receive a unique identifier from the electric vehicle via the network connection, deliver a quantity of electrical charging power to the electric vehicle via the connector, and meter the quantity of electrical charging power delivered to the electric vehicle.

A vehicle configured to communicate with a server of a cloud system to enable access to use the vehicle via one or more electronic keys is provided. The vehicle includes electronics and a subsystem of the vehicle for enabling unlocking of the vehicle. The subsystem is interfaced with the electronics and a subsystem of the vehicle for enabling starting of the vehicle for use of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes communications circuitry that is interfaced with electronics of the vehicle. The communications circuitry is programmable to communicate with the server of the cloud system and communicate with a mobile device. The communications circuitry of the vehicle is configured to receive a request from the mobile device for unlocking of the vehicle. The request from the mobile device includes a unique access code obtained by the mobile device from the server to enable sending the request to the vehicle. The unique access code is associated with privileges for use of the vehicle. The privileges are defined for the unique access code, and the vehicle is configured to receive information from the server to authenticate the request by the mobile device. And, if the request is authentic, the mobile device is provided with data to enable an electronic key to use the vehicle, and the electronics of the vehicle instructs the subsystem of the vehicle to enable unlocking of the vehicle and enable starting of the vehicle for use of the vehicle via the electronic key consistent with the privileges of the unique access code.

This invention is for an inexpensive and cost-effective way to patrol and prevent un-authorized personnel from entering or crossing a special one-way roadway. By having continuous surveillance, with the patrol-vehicles having photo equipment, infra-red equipment, radio equipment for contacting proper authority, and having a siren equipped vehicle, it is unlikely for un-authorized personnel from entering or crossing the one-way roadway.

The road way is having a left and right fence, preferably made with transparent panels, allowing for visual and infrared surveillance. This surveillance allows for instant detection of any un-authorized person or equipment,

The preferred patrol is with a vehicle that is electric and driverless. Signage stating of an addition of an electrified wire, similar to animal-prevention-fence prevents personnel from entering the roadway.

Methods and systems are provided. One method includes processing operations to share electronic keys (e-keys). The method includes receiving a request to share an electronic key (e-key) of a vehicle with a recipient device. The request to share the e-key is initiated by sending a message to the recipient device using a sharing device. The method includes processing the request to validate the request to share the e-key, as received from the sharing device having associated therewith a registered owner e-key. Processing the request includes generating the e-key securely by the sharing device and registering the e-key that was generated with a server associated with a manufacturer of the vehicle. The method includes enabling the e-key for use on the vehicle by the recipient device responsive to said processing of the request. The request to share the e-key includes enabling a setting to apply a privilege level for use of the vehicle via the e-key. The privilege level provides one or more conditions of use of the vehicle via the e-key.

A work vehicle comprising: a drive wheel unit that is provided in a vehicle body and is configured to be driven by a travel drive mechanism; a work unit that is provided in the vehicle body and is configured to perform work on a work target; a battery provided in the vehicle body; a motor that is configured to receive electric power from the battery and drive the work unit; an inclination sensor configured to detect an inclination of the vehicle body relative to a horizontal plane; and a first captured image acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image that shows surroundings of the vehicle body when the work is being performed.

A rechargeable battery pack (20) for an electric or hybrid vehicle (1), comprising: at least one electric connection member (23) to a powertrain unit (5) of the electric or hybrid vehicle (1); a plurality of mutually electrically connected cells (30); at least one first circuit block (40) integrated in the rechargeable battery pack (20) and comprising a radio communication interface (45).

A micromobility transit vehicle may include a wheel, a dynamo, a control module, and a battery. The dynamo may be associated with the wheel and configured to transmit a first signal based at least on a detection of one or more movements of the wheel that meets or exceeds a threshold movement of the wheel. The control module may be configured to receive the first signal transmitted by the dynamo. The control module may be configured to transmit a second signal upon receiving the first signal from the dynamo. The battery may be configured to receive the second signal transmitted by the control module. The second signal may cause the battery to wake from a battery-off state to a battery-on state.

A system and method for rider profiling for lightweight vehicles is disclosed herein. The system comprises a lightweight vehicle actuating unit. Load-cells are configured on a deck of the lightweight vehicle for sensing and measuring load acting thereupon for generating a measurement signal. A pressure-pattern collection unit receives the measurement signal to identify and process a load pattern acting on the deck to generate a pressure-pattern signal. A learning model receives the pressure-pattern signal for processing to obtain information associated with a pose of the rider. A riding control is coupled to a riding control database and configured to unit receive the information associated with the pose from the learning model for determining at least one instance of rule violation and computing a decision based on the at least one instance of rule violation.
