Abstract
A control device is provided to a human-powered vehicle. The control device includes an electronic controller. The electronic controller is configured to control an air pressure of a tire provided to the human-powered vehicle, based on at least one of a roughness of a road surface on which the human-powered vehicle is traveling or will travel, a slope state related to an advancing direction of the human-powered vehicle, a wet state of a road surface, a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, and a state of a component mounted on the human-powered vehicle.
Claims18
A control device for a human-powered vehicle, the control device comprising:
- an electronic controller configured to control an air pressure of a tire provided to a human-powered vehicle based on at least one of a roughness of a road surface on which the human-powered vehicle is traveling or will travel, a slope state related to an advancing direction of the human-powered vehicle, a wet state of the road surface, a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, and a state of a component mounted on the human-powered vehicle.
A control device for a human-powered vehicle, the control device comprising:
- an electronic controller configured to control an air pressure of a tire provided to a human-powered vehicle based on at least one detection result of a state of a road surface on which the human-powered vehicle is traveling or will travel, a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, and a state of a component of the human-powered vehicle,
- the electronic controller being further configured to control the air pressure of the tire based on a detection result having a high priority.
A control device for a human-powered vehicle, the control device comprising:
- an electronic controller that is configured to control an air pressure of a tire provided to a human-powered vehicle based on at least one detection result of a state of a road surface on which the human-powered vehicle is traveling or will travel, a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, and a state of a component of the human-powered vehicle,
- the electronic controller being further configured to control the air pressure of the tire in accordance with a detection result in which the air pressure of the tire is reduced in priority to a detection result in which the air pressure of the tire is increased.
An air-pressure adjusting device that is configured to adjust an air pressure of a tire of a human-powered vehicle, the air-pressure adjusting device comprising:
- a control device configured to control the air pressure of the tire,
- in a state where the human-powered vehicle is not traveling, the control device is configured to:
- acquire information related to at least one of a state of a road surface on which the human-powered vehicle will travel, a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, and a state of a component mounted on the human-powered vehicle;
- calculate an adjustment value of the air pressure of the tire;
- and
- adjust the air pressure of the tire.
