CONTROL DEVICE, SUSPENSION, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUSPENSION
A control device is provided for controlling a suspension of a human-powered vehicle. The control device includes comprises an electronic controller. The suspension includes a first member, a second member movable relative to the first member, and an adjustment unit adjusting a relative movable amount of the first member and the second member. The electronic controller is configured to electrically control the adjustment unit in accordance with relative position information related to a relative position of the first member and the second member.
HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
A control device including an electronic controller for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to control an adjusting device that is configured to adjust a seat height of the human-powered vehicle upon determining the human-powered vehicle is being stopped while traveling uphill.
CONTROL DEVICE
A control device is provided for controlling an adjusting device of a human-powered vehicle. The adjusting device adjusts a front initial sag amount of a front suspension of the human-powered vehicle in a state in where a rider is riding the human-powered vehicle and a rear initial sag amount of a rear suspension of the human-powered vehicle in a state where the rider is riding the human-powered vehicle. The control device comprises an electronic controller configured to output a front control signal that adjusts the front initial sag amount of the front suspension of the human-powered vehicle, and output a rear control signal that adjusts the rear initial sag amount of the rear suspension of the human-powered vehicle to the adjusting device based on traveling information related to traveling of the human-powered vehicle.
Gear shift controller and gear shifting system
A gear shift controller includes a detection circuit and a control unit. The detection circuit is configured to determine traveling state information about a traveling state of a human-powered vehicle. The control unit is configured to receive the traveling state information from the detection circuit to control a shift standby time of a transmission of the human-powered vehicle. The traveling state information includes information other than traveling speed information about a traveling speed of the human-powered vehicle and crank information about crank rotation information of the human-powered vehicle.
HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
A control device is for a human-powered vehicle that includes a vehicle component and a plurality of detectors. The detectors are configured to detect information related to a vehicle speed of the human-powered vehicle in which the information related to the vehicle speed differs between the detectors. The detectors includes at least a first detector. The control device includes an electronic controller. The electronic controller is configured to control the vehicle component in accordance with an output of the first detector in a case where the output of the first detector is in a first state. The electronic controller is configured to control the vehicle component in accordance with an output of a predetermined detector that differs from the first detector among the detectors in a case where the output of the first detector is not in the first state.
WHEELIE SUPPRESSING CONTROL UNIT
A wheelie suppressing control unit includes: a first determiner that determines whether a vehicle is in a traveling state satisfying a first condition representing a wheelie state; a second determiner that determines whether the vehicle is in a traveling state satisfying a second condition representing a pre-wheelie state which is a state preceding the wheelie state; and a controller that controls the vehicle based on an operation input. If the first determiner determines that the first condition is satisfied, the controller executes first control that reduces the output of a drive source of the vehicle. If the first determiner determines that the first condition is not satisfied and the second determiner determines that the second condition is satisfied, the controller executes second control that restricts a rate of change of the output with respect to the operation input provided to an operation member.
Bicycle control apparatus and bicycle driving device equipped with a control apparatus
A bicycle control apparatus is provided that can improve the stability of the behavior of a bicycle. The bicycle control apparatus includes a controller that is configured to reduce the output of a motor when a rear wheel of a bicycle is in a prescribed state. The prescribed state is a state in which a load of the rear wheel is determined to be less than a prescribed load for a duration of time that is equal to or more than a prescribed time.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE
A control system for a human-powered vehicle includes an input device, an additional input device, and a controller. The input device is configured to receive manual input from a rider. The additional input device is configured to receive manual input from the rider. The controller is configured to control a shifting device of the human-powered vehicle based on one of an output signal from the input device and an output signal from the additional input device. The controller is configured to output one of a first control signal for a single shifting operation and a second control signal for a multiple shifting operation in response to the manual input received by one of the input device and the additional input device. The controller is further configured to output one of a first control signal and a second control signal based on a state of the human-powered vehicle.
MODULAR ROBOTIC VEHICLE
A modular robotic vehicle (MRV) having a modular chassis configured for a vehicle utilizing two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering, six-wheel steering, eight-wheel steering controlled by a semiautonomous system or an autonomous driving system, either system is associated with operating modes which may include a two-wheel steering mode, an all-wheel steering mode, a traverse steering mode, a park mode, or an omni-directional mode utilized for steering sideways, driving diagonally or move crab like. Accordingly, during semiautonomous control a driver of the modular robotic vehicle may utilize smart I/O devices including a smartphone, tablet like devices, or a control panel to select a preferred driving mode. The driver may communicate navigation instructions via smart I/O devices to control steering, speed and placement of the MRV in respect to the operating mode. Accordingly, GPS and a wireless network provides navigation instructions during an autonomous operation involving driving, parking, docking or connecting to another MRV.
Bicycle control apparatus and bicycle driving device equipped with a control apparatus
A bicycle control apparatus is provided that can improve the stability of the behavior of a bicycle. The bicycle control apparatus includes a controller configured to control a motor that assists a manual drive force, based on a state of a suspension that absorbs vibrations of a bicycle.
