  • Publication number: 20180319457
    Abstract: A management method for the energy range of a rechargeable battery pack of an assisted pedal electrical bicycle (1) including an electrical machine controllable for supplying a torque according to a pedal assistance factor, said torque being summed to the one generated by a cyclist through the pedaling, the management method including the following steps: a) selecting a route to be traveled by the electrical bicycle (1) starting from an initial position; b) obtaining data representative of the altitude profile of the selected route and dividing the route in a plurality of segments each being characterized by a respective altitude parameter; c) calculating a value correlated to the maximum percentage of battery pack (20) discharge on the selected route as a function of the altitude profile and of a limit pedal assistance factor K_limit, preferably calculating a value for each segment representative of the percentage of battery pack (20) discharge on the segment as a function of a limit assistance factor K_limi

  • Patent number: 9153131
    Abstract: A real-time drive assistance system and method are provided. The system includes a centralized architecture capable of determining and preventing, in real time, potentially dangerous road situations, increasing road safety. The system is based on a communication network obtained through specific portable mobile communication devices exchanging information related to the state of a plurality of vehicles in motion along a road network. The method includes periodical acquisition and sending of the information to a centralized processing unit using the wireless communication system of each portable mobile communication device; processing of the information in order to verify the occurrence of potential dangerous situations for the drivers of each vehicle; and sending of warning or danger signals to one or more of the portable mobile communication devices that can alert the drivers of the vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20080115994
    Abstract: A rolling vehicle (10) with two front steering wheels (16, 18) comprising a frame (14), handlebars (20), at least a rear driving wheel (12) connected to a motor (22), and a steering kinematism of the two front wheels (16, 18), wherein the steering kinematism is longitudinal and comprises two parallel longitudinal arms (36, 38) fixedly connected at one end of a steering control lever (26), connected to the handlebars (20) through a cylindrical hinge (24), and at the other end, through two spherical hinges (32, 34), to two articulated quadrilaterals, also longitudinal with respect to the vehicle (10), which rotatably connect the two front wheels (16, 18) to the frame (14), so as to achieve steering, performed by a user through a rotation of the handlebars (20), of the two front wheels (16, 18) with respect to the frame (14).
