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

Claim 16:
17. A turn signal cancelation system, comprising:
a speed sensor adapted to determine a speed of a vehicle;
an inertial measurement unit adapted to determine 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 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 second distance threshold, different from the first distance threshold, independent of the determined yaw angle traversed by the vehicle after the occurrence of the predetermined operation of the vehicle; and
wherein the yaw angle threshold is approximately 45°, the first distance threshold is approximately 100 meters, and the second distance threshold is approximately 800 meters.
