Tow bar arrangement (100) for interconnection of a pulling vehicle (10) and a pulled trailer (20). The arrangement (100) comprises a control device (110) with a force sensor (111) arranged to sense an instantaneous relative force between vehicle (10) and trailer (20). The control device (110) is arranged to produce a control signal for an electric motor (21) arranged to propel the trailer (20) so that a motor force counter-acts said measured force. The invention is characterised in that the control device (110) is arranged to a first time series of force measurements, in that the control device (110) comprises a low-pass filter (112) producing a second low-pass filtered time series, and in that a regulator (113) is ar-ranged to regulate said second time series to produce said control signal.

A bicycle component comprising a stress/strain sensor aligned according to a stress/strain to be detected, and a temperature sensor associated with said stress/strain sensor, wherein said stress/strain sensor and said temperature sensor lie in planes that do not coincide with one another and are not parallel to each another.

Provided is a vehicle control device capable of preventing a delay in driver's bank angle operation during traveling of a straddle type vehicle on a curve and enhancing safety of the vehicle. The vehicle control device 100 is a device that is mounted on a two-wheeled motor vehicle and controls the vehicle to travel while following a preceding vehicle. The vehicle control device 100 includes a curvature acquisition unit 110 that acquires a curvature of a road in front of the vehicle and a driving force control unit 120 that limits a change amount of driving force of the vehicle per unit time based on the curvature acquired by the curvature acquisition unit 110.

A bicycle locking device for securing a bicycle to a stationary object includes a housing, which defines an interior space. A cable is positioned in the interior space and has a first terminus, which is engaged to the housing. The cable is selectively extensible through a hole positioned in the housing. The cable is insertable through at least one element of an item, such as bicycle, and around a stationary object, so that a second terminus of the cable reaches the housing. A locking unit is engaged to the housing and selectively engages the second terminus the cable to secure the item to the stationary object. A biometric authenticator is engaged to the housing and is operationally engaged to the locking unit. The biometric authenticator authenticates a physiological characteristic of a user, positioning the biometric authenticator to signal the locking unit to release the cable.

A driving device for driving an in-vehicle lighting device in which a plurality of light sources are arranged in one direction, comprising a detection unit configured to detect an environment of a vehicle, and a driving unit configured to drive the plurality of light sources in sequence in the one direction, wherein the driving unit drives the plurality of light sources so that driving timings of the plurality of light sources will change in accordance with a detection value obtained by the detection unit.

A bicycle system with omnidirectional viewing having front-facing, stereoscopic video camera devices relying on computer vision. The front-facing, stereoscopic video camera devices positioned on the bicycle help identify, classify, and recommend a safe trajectory around obstacles in real-time using augmented reality. The bicycle system details safety-related and guidance-related information.

A bicycle sensor device of the type not having Internet accessibility and comprising at least one sensor element adapted for registering data regarding the bicycle, a data storage unit adapted for storing registered data regarding the bicycle, a processor element adapted for generating an output of the sensor device, and a transmitter element adapted for transmitting by short range communication an output of the sensor device to an external device being adapted for displaying the output of the sensor device to a user. The processor element is configured to cause the transmitter element to transmit the output of the sensor device to an external device in one of a first mode, a second mode and a third mode. The first mode is a normal operation mode, the second mode is a service request mode, and the third mode is a data transfer mode.

A headlamp includes a high beam lamp unit configured to form a high beam light distribution pattern, a cornering lamp configured to form a side light distribution pattern, and a lamp control unit configured to control the high beam lamp unit and the cornering lamp so as to adjust the high beam light distribution pattern and the side light distribution pattern. At least one of the high beam light distribution pattern and the side light distribution pattern includes a first region including a target object and a second region other than the first region. When an external sensor detects the target object, the lamp control unit adjusts the high beam light distribution pattern and the side light distribution pattern so that at least the second region is irradiated with light.

A vehicle height adjusting apparatus according to one aspect includes: a vehicle height adjusting member that adjusts height of a seat of a saddle-type vehicle, using hydraulic pressure; an oil supplying portion that supplies oil to the vehicle height adjusting member, using a motor; and a control section that estimates a load applied to the vehicle height adjusting member, from a current supplied to the motor and a stroke correspondence quantity of the vehicle height adjusting member, and controls the oil supplying portion based on the load to adjust the height of the seat.
