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

Claim 17:
18. 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, responsive to a turn by 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; and
wherein the controller is adapted to automatically cancel the turn signal of the vehicle, responsive to a lane change by the vehicle, upon the determined distance traveled by the vehicle after the occurrence of the predetermined operation of the vehicle exceeding a second distance threshold, independent of the determined yaw angle traversed by the vehicle after the occurrence of the predetermined operation of the vehicle.
