Abstract
A control system in accordance for a human-powered vehicle comprises a brake device configured to brake a wheel, a brake operating device operated to actuate the brake device, a first communication path configured to communicate a first actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device, and a second communication path configured to communicate a second actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device. The second communication path differs from the first communication path.
Claims23
A control system for a human-powered vehicle, the control system comprising:
- a brake device configured to brake a wheel;
- a brake operating device operated to actuate the brake device;
- a first communication path configured to communicate a first actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device;
- and
- a second communication path configured to communicate a second actuation signal between the brake device and the brake operating device, wherein
- the second communication path differs from the first communication path,
- the first communication path is a wired electrical communication path, and
- the second communication path is a wireless communication path.
A control system for a human-powered vehicle, the control system comprising:
- an actuation device;
- an operating device operated to actuate the actuation device;
- a first communication control device provided in the operating device;
- a second communication control device provided in the actuation device;
- a first communication path configured to communicate a first actuation signal between the first communication control device and the second communication control device;
- a third communication control device provided in at least one of the operating device and the first communication path;
- and
- a second communication path configured to communicate a second actuation signal between the second communication control device and the third communication control device, wherein the second communication path differs from the first communication path, wherein
- the first communication control device is configured to transmit the first actuation signal through the first communication path in response to operation of the operating device,
- the second communication control device is configured to transmit a response signal in response to receipt of the first actuation signal, and
- the third communication control device is configured to transmit the second actuation signal through the second communication path in a case where the response signal cannot be received from the second communication control device after the first actuation signal is transmitted from the first communication control device.
A control system for a human-powered vehicle, the control system comprising:
- a brake device configured to brake a wheel;
- a brake operating device operated to actuate the brake device;
- an auxiliary brake operating device that differs from the brake operating device;
- and
- a controller configured to control an actuation device that includes the brake device in accordance with a control mode, wherein
- the auxiliary brake operating device is one of a shift operating device, an assist mode switching device, a suspension mode switching device, and an adjustable seatpost operating device,
- the control mode includes a first mode and a second mode,
- the controller is configured to restrict actuation of the brake device in response to operation of the auxiliary brake operating device in a case where the control mode is the first mode, and
- the controller is configured to actuate the brake device in response to operation of the auxiliary brake operating device in a case where the control mode is the second mode.
