A system for controlling vehicle motion is described. The system includes: a first set of sensors coupled with a vehicle, the first set of sensors configured for sensing the vehicle motion; and a vehicle suspension damper coupled with the first set of sensors, the vehicle suspension damper configured for adjusting a damping force therein, the vehicle suspension damper comprising: a primary valve; a pilot valve assembly coupled with the primary valve, the pilot valve assembly configured for metering a flow of fluid to the primary valve, in response to at least the sensing; and an orifice block coupled with the primary valve and comprising a control orifice there through, the control orifice configured for operating cooperatively with the pilot valve assembly in the metering the flow of fluid to the primary valve.

A vehicle, in particular motorcycle, includes a frame, handlebars with two handlebar grips and a communication unit with at least one sensor for the acquisition of data relating to the vehicle, and an interface for transmitting the acquired data. A handlebar protector is arranged, preferably centrally, between the handlebar grips and the communication unit is arranged underneath the handlebar protector or at least partially, preferably entirely, within the handlebar protector.

This vehicle-mounted device is a vehicle-mounted device mounted on a vehicle that has a body and a steering unit supported on the body via a steering shaft, and includes a user interface, camera, or antenna attached to the steering unit; a first sensor unit that is attached to the body and detects a first angular velocity or a first acceleration as a first detection value; and a calculation device that performs calculation based on the first detection value and is connected to the user interface, camera, or antenna.

A seat apparatus includes a vehicle seat including a cushion member having a bottom portion with a plurality of recessed portions, a plurality of air cells configured to expand by injection of compressed air, and a fluid supply mechanism configured to supply the fluid to the air cells. In the seat apparatus, at least one of the recessed portions is provided at a portion of the bottom portion of the cushion member positioned at a seating portion of the vehicle seat, the hip of a passenger being placed on the seating portion. Each air cell is expandable in a corresponding one of the recessed portions. The fluid supply mechanism is configured to expand at least one air cell by supplying the compressed air thereto and to change the at least one air cell to be expanded by switching a fluid supply destination.

According some aspects, an automated bicycle emergency braking system may be retrofitted to a commercial pedestrian bicycle to provide emergency braking functionality. Aspects described therein detail a light-weight and consumer affordable automated bicycle emergency braking system for improving pedestrian bicycle safety. Aspects described therein relate to sensing of a bicycle's surroundings for potentially hazardous objects, identifying a potentially hazardous road condition, determining whether to engage a bicycle's mechanical braking system, determining how long to engage a bicycle's mechanical braking system, and disengaging a bicycle's mechanical braking system until determining confirmation of resolution of the pedestrian bicyclist's safety regarding the identified potentially hazardous road condition.
