A protective warning system for a vehicle is provided. A device comprises: a long-range camera and a stereoscopic camera positioned in a housing to image external objects in a rear-facing direction when the housing is mounted to a vehicle. A controller detects, using images from the long-range camera, an external object in the rear-facing direction and process stereoscopic images from the stereoscopic camera to determine when the external object is located with a first zone or a second zone extending in the rear-facing direction, the second zone being closer to the stereoscopic camera than the first zone. In response to determining that the external object is located with the first zone or the second zone, the controller controls the one or more notification devices to provide one or more first or second notifications associated with a first or second urgency level.

Collision alert systems and methods for micromobility vehicles include a proximity sensor, a speed sensor, a warning device, and a controller having a bypass mode and a warning mode. The controller compares the speed of the micromobility vehicle with a predetermined speed threshold, enters the bypass mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is less than the predetermined speed threshold, and enters the warning mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is greater than the predetermined speed threshold. The controller does not activate the warning device in the bypass mode. In the warning mode, the controller calculates an estimated time until a potential collision with the object, compares the estimated time object with a predetermined time threshold, and generates a collision warning by activating the warning device in response to the estimated time until collision being less than the predetermined time threshold.

An electric scooter includes: a scooter body; a front fork pivotally arranged on a front side of the scooter body; a front wheel mounted on the front fork; a rear wheel arranged on a rear side of the scooter body; a handlebar including a crossbar and a riser, the crossbar being arranged at an upper end of the riser, and a lower end of the riser being coupled to the front fork; and a left steering light and a right steering light mounted on at least one of the scooter body, the front fork or the handlebar.

Various systems and methods associated with protecting a rider of an electric bicycle from hazards while riding their bicycle are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods enhance the safety of the rider in response current detected conditions surrounding the rider, such as conditions associated with the route or path traveled by the rider, other vehicles within the route or path traveled by the rider, potential hazards within the route or path traveled by the rider, environmental conditions through which the rider is traveling, and so on.

The embodiments show an efficient, flexible, durable, lightweight and portable (12) electromechanical apparatus (12) that a cyclist can easily and safely operate. The design allows for the remote positioning of a visible elongated object, (12) safety sleeve/arm (12), from a secured vertical stowed position, to a secured horizontal active position without stopping during the ride. The elongated, aerodynamically shaped (12) safety sleeve (12) will have (12) LED strip lights (12) along the trailing edge, along with a (12) wing tip light (12) at the end of the member. Also included are reflective materials at both ends and on the leading edge of the (12) safety sleeve (12). The purpose of a (12) safety sleeve/arm (12) in the active horizontal position is to provide oncoming motorists with a dimensional frame of reference to clear the pedal vehicle when passing. Because of the size and shape of the lighted safety member, a motorist will receive the early detection needed, allowing them time to maneuver their vehicle around the cyclist. Thus, providing adequate clearance between the cyclist and motorist when passing, which will help them to comply with the 3 foot rule enacted in 33 states in the USA.

Position indicating devices, systems and methods useable for signaling the positions of pedestrians or vehicles.

An approach is provided for determining vehicle maneuver events. The approach, for example, involves determining sensor data from a sensor of a device associated with a vehicle. The sensor data includes a maneuver parameter represented using a device frame of reference. The approach also involves transforming the maneuver parameter from the device frame of reference to an Earth frame of reference. The approach further involves automatically detecting a maneuver event of the vehicle based on the maneuver parameter as transformed to the Earth frame of reference. The approach further involves providing the detected maneuver event to a signaling unit associated with the vehicle.

Disclosed is a vehicle. The vehicle generally includes a frame to support an engine and one or more supports, such as wheels, to support the frame. The engine may include an internal combustion power plant and a fuel supply system therefore.

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.
