Regenerative Intelligent Brake Control for Electric Motorcycles
Vehicle models whose propulsion system is based on electric motors are increasing in number within the automobile industry. They will soon become a reliable alternative to vehicles with conventional propulsion systems. The main advantages of this type of vehicles are the non-emission of polluting gases and noise and the effectiveness of electric motors compared to combustion engines. Some of th...
متن کاملLong Lighting System for Enhanced Conspicuity of Motorcycles
The LONG (Longitudinal Oriented Normative time Gap compensation) concept describes a lighting system that enhances the conspicuity of motorcycles by enhancing the ability of oncoming drivers to evaluate the distance and speed of a motorcycle equipped with lighting in the LONG configuration. It is based on the hypothesis that a motorcycle observed at the same distance and speed as an automobile ...
متن کاملExplaining the Collapse of the British Electrical Supply Industry in the 1880s: Gas versus Electric Lighting Prices
In the late 1870s there was a tremendous interest in the development of electric lighting, which at long last looked to become commercially viable. In the early 1880s electric lighting systems were being installed in many cities in the US, to light factories, stores, public buildings and streets. While Britain had perhaps fewer inventors than the US, it appeared to be on the verge of adopting t...
متن کاملJudgments of approach speed for motorcycles across different lighting levels and the effect of an improved tri-headlight configuration.
The misperception of vehicle approach speed is a key contributory factor to road traffic crash involvement. Past research has indicated that individuals use the rate of visual looming to calculate the time to passage (TTP) of a vehicle, and that smaller vehicles loom to a lesser extent than larger vehicles. Despite a disproportionate number of fatal injuries occurring on the road after dark, an...
