Abstract: Adaptive brake assist system a cyclist on a bicycle by an aptic feedback, includes a first sensor (for measuring the angular speed (?1) of a first wheel of the bicycle, adapted to generate a signal representative of the angular speed of the first wheel; an actuator mountable to a portion of the bicycle, adapted to generate vibrations; a control module configured to generate a command signal of the actuator, so that the actuator vibrates at a vibration frequency (f), based on at least the signal representative of the angular speed of the first wheel (?1) and based on one or more reference magnitudes (?ref); and a learning module configured to determine, updating and delivering to the control module the one or more reference magnitudes (?ref) based on at least the signal representative of the angular speed (?1) of the first wheel.

Abstract: A device for determining a kinematic magnitude of a bicycle and a rate of the pedal-thrust exerted by a user on the pedals of the bicycle includes a sensor of the bicycle, adapted to be associated to the bicycle, suitable for detecting the bicycle kinematic magnitude (?i) and for generating a signal representative of the bicycle kinematic magnitude; a filter connected to the sensor of the bicycle kinematic magnitude, configured for receiving at the input the signal representative of the bicycle kinematic magnitude (?i) and for supplying, at the output, an optimized signal (?opt) of the bicycle kinematic magnitude; and a module for the frequency-analysis of the optimized signal (?opt) of the bicycle kinematic magnitude, connected to the filter.
Abstract: A brake assist system for a cyclist on a bicycle by a haptic feedback includes: a first sensor for measuring the angular speed of a first bicycle wheel, suitable for generating a signal representing the first wheel angular speed; a second sensor for measuring the angular speed of a second bicycle wheel, suitable for generating a signal representing the second wheel angular speed; an actuator applicable to a bicycle portion, suitable for producing vibrations; and a control module.
