A control system configured with ergonomic hand grips is disclosed. The control system may be configured with the steering device of a vehicle and may include control buttons that may be programmed to control different aspects of electronic devices.

A method for monitoring a vehicle status includes detecting a status of the vehicle, a helmet for the vehicle, or a component of the vehicle. A signal is transmitted wirelessly to a portable handheld device providing the notification to the user of the status of the vehicle, helmet, or vehicle component. Vehicle safety notifications and other information may also be relayed to the user through a software application operating on the handheld device.

Various embodiments provide a signaling system for a pushable transport object. The signaling system includes a signaling device and a control device. The signaling device includes at least one indicator light controllable to display a left signal and a right signal, and a first mounting component for mounting the signaling device to a cart. The control device is communicative with the signaling device to control the at least one indicator light. The control device includes a user interface for receiving a user input, in which the user interface includes a left input component for controlling the at least one indicator light to display the left signal and a right input component for controlling the at least one indicator light to display the right signal. The control device further includes a second mounting component for mounting the control device to a handle of the cart.

The present invention relates to a bicycle equipped with a hydraulic brake system and a braking signalling system. The braking signalling system includes detection equipment (2; 3; 4), which include the first radio communication equipment (19) based on Bluetooth Low Energy and a pressure sensor (21) coupled to the hydraulic braking system to detect any pressure changes in the hydraulic braking system. In addition, this brake signalling system also includes a beacon (6) designed to emit a light signal in response to any pressure change detected by the pressure sensor (21).

An apparatus for use by a driver of a vehicle that has turn signals and a brake signal is described. Display circuitry includes lights, and can be supported by the driver while the driver is operating the vehicle. Base circuitry is in wireless communication with the display circuitry, can detect activation of the turn signals and the brake signal, and includes movement sensors. The apparatus can activate the lights in response to activation of the turn signals and the brake signal. In addition, the base circuitry can broadcast an accident alarm in response to detection of movement of the vehicle suggestive of a traffic accident.

A method for guiding a cyclist on a bicycle equipped with a bicycle handlebar. The method includes: on each side of a central zone in which the bicycle handlebar is attached to the bicycle handlebar stem, separately illuminating a proximal light-emitting zone located next to the central attachment zone or a distal light-emitting zone depending on the route to be followed.

A smart safety garment with signal lights includes a basic garment, at least a pair of turn signal lights embedded on the external surface of the basic garment, and an electronic assembly for the control. The management and monitoring of the smart safety garment includes a control unit, the at least a pair of turn signal lights being connected or connectable to the control unit. The electronic assembly further includes a braking sensor connected or connectable to the control unit and adapted to perceive a deceleration and to generate a corresponding braking signal intended to the control unit. The control unit is configured to power up at least a pair of turn signal lights according to the braking signal.

A wireless communication device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a wireless communicator and a controller. The wireless communicator is configured to wirelessly communicate with an additional wireless communicator. The wireless communicator has a first mode in which the wireless communicator operates under a first power consumption and a second mode in which the wireless communicator operates under a second power consumption which is lower than the first power consumption. The controller is configured to detect a change in a state of at least one switch. The controller is configured to set the wireless communicator with the first mode if the controller detects the change in the state of the at least one switch as the wireless communicator is in the second mode.
