The vehicle is provided with a dashboard and with a housing in which a mobile device, for example a mobile phone or smartphone, can be inserted. An electronic control unit of the vehicle co-acts with the mobile device by means of an electronic interface, so as to provide the mobile device with information relating to the operation of the vehicle. In this way, the mobile device provides an integration of the on-board instruments of the vehicle, which completes the instruments available on the dashboard.

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.

A safety handle designed to be fitted onto a tubular element of an item of mobile equipment, comprises at least one signaling means. The handle further comprises a radiofrequency communication module and an electronic circuit for controlling the communication module by a signal of a change in direction.

A controlling device includes a storage device configured to store predetermined information about durability of a component of a man-powered vehicle, and a controller configured to control an indicator based on the predetermined information.

This leaning vehicle that turns in a leaning posture and has a leaning frame structure made of a material containing fiber-reinforced resin can achieve weight reduction and help reduce changes in ride quality. The vehicle includes a rear structure that leans to the left during a left turn and leans to the right during a right turn with respect to the left-right direction of the vehicle, and is made of a material containing carbon-fiber-reinforced resin, and a leaning frame structure damage notification unit that, when the rear structure receives an impact caused by a fall of the vehicle in the left direction or the right direction, and the impact damages a non-visible part of the rear structure, makes a notification of the damage.

A vehicle includes a control switch that is configured to generate an operation signal, and a controller that is electrically connected to the control switch to receive the operation signal therefrom, and that is configured to, in response to receipt of the operation signal, transmit a control signal to a tilting mechanism for making the tilting mechanism operate in one of a locked state and an unlocked state. After the vehicle is powered on, the controller is further configured to, when the controller has continuously received the operation signal for a predetermined reception time, determine that the control switch is abnormal, stop transmitting the control signal and control a warning unit to output a warning signal.

A personal mobility device includes a helmet, for example, when renting the personal mobility device, and can improve user safety based on an output of a sensor provided in the helmet. The personal mobility device further includes: a transceiver; a helmet storage device in which the helmet provided with at least one sensor is stored; and a controller configured to control the transceiver to be wirelessly connected to the helmet when receiving a signal indicating separation between the helmet storage device and the helmet from the helmet storage device, and to control the transceiver to transmit a signal requesting the activation of the at least one sensor to the helmet.
