Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device is provided for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that controls a human-powered vehicle component in accordance with a control state including first and second modes. The electronic controller changes a transmission ratio of a transmission device in accordance with a first shifting condition in the first mode, and changes the transmission ratio in accordance with a second shifting condition in the second mode. The electronic controller changes the first shifting condition in accordance with a converging reference value, which is related to a traveling state of the human-powered vehicle, for a case where the human-powered vehicle is in a riding converging state in the first mode, and changes the second shifting condition in accordance with a converging reference value for a case where the human-powered vehicle is in the riding converging state in the second mode.

Abstract: An operating device for a vehicle comprises an outer unit that can be rotated manually, a detection device configured to detect the movement of the outer unit and generate a control signal using a value that characterizes the movement to control a vehicle function, and an actuator unit that contains a magnetorheological medium, which can be or is coupled to the outer unit and is configured to exert a retaining force on the outer unit based on the viscosity of the magnetorheological medium. The operating device also comprises a sensor unit located in the outer unit and configured to generate a hand signal indicating the absence of a user's hand on the outer unit, and a manipulating device for manipulating the control signal on the basis of the hand signal.

Abstract: Fixed-beam headlights reduce a rider's intended visual field by pointing away from a corner during turning. A system is presented for improving visibility in dark conditions on a motorcycle. It relates to adaptively controlling headlight orientation. Based on sensor data, the headlight beam is rotated independently in three degrees of freedom, in real time. This maintains illumination of the road ahead, even when cornering, and reduces the blinding of oncoming traffic. High beam and low beam operation is accommodated, including dimmable high beams. The beam is directed with three independent motors in one embodiment, by the switching of light-emitting diodes in an array in another embodiment, or using a hybrid motorized and solid-state system. The adaptive headlights are suitable for craft other than motorcycles.
