Title: Device and method for generating a speed value
Inventor: BAUMGAERTNER DANIEL
IPC: G01P3/44
Filed: 2015-07-15
Abstract: A method for generating an output value which represents a speed value, having the steps of: acquiring a first and second signal and generating a first speed value in dependence on the first and second signal, further having the following step: starting a measurement with a first measuring duration in dependence on the first speed value and outputting an output value, wherein, in the case where a third signal is acquired during the first measuring duration, a second speed value in dependence on the second and third signal is outputted as output value and in the case where a third signal is not acquired during the first measuring duration, a zero value is outputted as output value. The method is said to be particularly useful in the control of an electric bicycle, giving an improved response time in identifying a zero speed.
