Safety device to enable horn switch to activate horn and hazard lights and method thereof
A safety device and a safety method are usable with a motorcycle having a horn assembly and a hazard light assembly. The safety device includes a detection module and a hazard control module. The detection module may detect the activation of the horn assembly by an engagement of a horn switch of the horn assembly by a user and provide a trigger to activate the hazard control module. The hazard control module may place hazard lights of the hazard light assembly in an on state for a duration period in response to an activation of the horn assembly. The hazard control module may also automatically place the plurality of hazard lights in an off state at an end of the duration period.
Brake and turn signal gear
The present invention provides a signal gear for cyclist to give brake and turn signals to other road users while the cyclist has full control of the handle bar and brake. The signal gear of the present invention is preferably a glove with finger portions. Control and activation of the turn and/or brake signals is mainly by using electrical conductive nature of the signal glove as a switch of the signaling component which is either incorporated with the glove or with the vehicle (e.g. bicycle). The signaling component can emit turn/brake light signal or transmit an activation signal to a light emitting device to give turn/brake light signal. The turn and brake light signals are in yellow and red color, respectively.
METHOD AND ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE FOR STABILIZING A MOTORCYCLE FRONT LIGHTING
Method and electromechanical device (1) for stabilizing the front lighting of a motorcycle provided with a front lighting device (2). The electromechanical device (1) comprises a sensor set (3) for detecting the lateral tilting angle experienced by the motorcycle on taking a curve and a motor (4) to drive the gear system (8). The gear system (8) forces the lighting device (2) to turn a rotation angle that compensates the lateral tilting experienced by the motorcycle. In this way, by means of the electromechanical device (1) of the invention, an appropriate distribution of the front lighting of the motorcycle is maintained throughout the entire straight-line or curvilinear path, without the need to add additional lighting devices and in accordance with the prevailing regulation regarding front lighting devices.

INTELLIGENT ELECTRIC BICYCLE CONTROL SYSTEM
An invention relates to the field of electronic vehicle control systems, in particular electric bicycles intended for heavy loads. The intelligent electronic bicycle control system includes a controller to control electric motor, a throttle handle, a sensor, a battery, a communication module for transferring data on a movement and condition of electric components and to exchange data with a mobile application and a remote control, an alarm, a light controller to control light, turns and stop signals and audio signal, a controller for collisions prevention and a bicycle computer to display the main parameters of the system, and all elements are connected by a bus. Enhanced functionality.
METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AUTOMATIC ALERTS FOR TRANSPORTATION MANEUVER EVENTS
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.

HANDLE WITH A RETRACTABLE DEVICE FOR INDICATING A CHANGE IN DIRECTION
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.
COLLECTING ELECTRIC SCOOTERS
Systems and methods for collecting electric scooters are described herein. In some embodiments, the systems and methods facilitate a “snaking” configuration of attaching, coupling, or fixing multiple electric scooters to one another. The snaking configuration enables multiple electric scooters to be collected together and moved to various locations, such as locations where the electric scooters can be rented, serviced, and so on. Further, the systems and methods enable any electric scooter to act as a collecting scooter, and thus a scooter share service or other fleet of scooters can manage the collection and provisioning of scooters in a location without special vehicles or equipment, among other benefits.
