Patent ID: 11970179
Assignee: ZERO MOTORCYCLES, INC.
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 18:
19. A turn signal cancelation system, comprising:
a speed sensor adapted to sense a speed of a vehicle;
an inertial measurement unit adapted to sense a yaw rate of the vehicle; and
a controller adapted to automatically cancel a turn signal of the vehicle, the controller adapted to determine, based on the speed of the vehicle determined by the speed sensor, a distance traveled by the vehicle after an occurrence of a predetermined operation of the vehicle and to determine, based on the yaw rate determined by the inertial measurement unit, a yaw angle traversed by the vehicle after the occurrence of the predetermined operation of the vehicle;
wherein the controller is adapted to automatically cancel the turn signal of the vehicle upon the determined distance traveled by the vehicle after the occurrence of the predetermined operation of the vehicle exceeding a first distance threshold and the determined yaw angle traversed by the vehicle after the occurrence of the predetermined operation of the vehicle exceeding a yaw angle threshold;
wherein the automatic cancelation of the turn signal of the vehicle includes turning off a turn signal indicator of the vehicle; and
wherein the speed sensor is adapted to sense a rotational speed of an electric motor of the vehicle, the controller adapted to determine the distance traveled by the vehicle based on the rotational speed of the electric motor.
