Abstract
A control system includes a detection device and an electronic controller. The detection device is configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver. The electronic controller is configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information.
Claims23
A control system comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information, the electronic controller being further configured to change a control mode of the at least one component in accordance with the passenger information.
A control system, comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information,

A control system, comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information, the electronic controller further being configured to control an electric assist unit of the human-powered vehicle so as to increase an assist force assisting in propulsion of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with a detected weight of the at least one passenger as the passenger information detected by the detection device in a case where the detected weight of the at least one passenger is greater than or equal to a first predetermined weight.
A control system, comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information, the electronic controller further being configured to restrict actuation of the at least one component in accordance with a detected motion of the passenger as the passenger information detected by the detection device in a case where the detected motion of the at least one passenger is greater than or equal to a predetermined motion.
A control system, comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information, the electronic controller further being configured to restrict actuation of the component in accordance with a detected sleep related condition of the at least one passenger as the passenger information as detected by the detection device.
A control system, comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect passenger information related to at least one passenger of a human-powered vehicle driven by a driver of the human-powered vehicle in which the at least one passenger is different from the driver;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control at least one component of the human-powered vehicle in accordance with the passenger information, the electronic controller being further configured to show a sleep related condition of the at least one passenger at the passenger information on a display of the human-powered vehicle.
A control system comprising:
- a detection device configured to detect towed vehicle information related to a towed vehicle of a human-powered vehicle;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to automatically control a shifting condition of a transmission device of the human-powered vehicle by changing a threshold value used for determining the shifting condition,
