Abstract: For a manual gearshift control of conventional vehicle transmission, a vehicle gearshift automatic control device including a first actuator module, a second actuator module and an electronic control unit, is provided in an add-on manner to retrofit the vehicle transmission with both automatic and manual gearshift functions. In an automatic gearshift mode, the electronic control unit executes the vehicle gearshift automatic control method and receives an automatic gearshift command to drive the first actuator module to push a shift lever to implement a lateral shift selection, or to drive the second actuator module to spin a park lever to implement a longitudinal gearshift. For vehicle security, whenever a vehicle gearshift automatic control device failure or a manual gearshift intervention is detected in the automatic gearshift mode, the electronic control unit shuts off the automatic gearshift mode and switches to a manual gearshift mode to perform the manual gearshift function.

Abstract: A vehicle gearshift autonomous control device including a first actuator module, a second actuator module and an electronic control unit, is provided in an add-on manner to retrofit the vehicle transmission with both autonomous and human control gearshift functions. In an autonomous gearshift mode, the electronic control unit executes the vehicle gearshift autonomous control method and receives an autonomous gearshift command to drive the first actuator module to push a shift lever to implement a lateral shift selection, or to drive the second actuator module to spin a spin lever to implement a longitudinal gearshift. For vehicle security, whenever a vehicle gearshift autonomous control device failure or a human control gearshift intervention is detected in the autonomous gearshift mode, the electronic control unit shuts off the autonomous gearshift mode and switches to a human control gearshift mode to perform the human control gearshift function.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an assist wheel including a wheel, a handrim, an elastic component, two contact components, a driving assembly, two film sensors. The wheel is configured to be rotatably disposed on a wheelchair frame. The handrim is disposed on the wheel and rotatable with respect to the wheel. Two opposite ends of the elastic component are respectively connected to the wheel and the handrim. The two contact components are respectively disposed on the wheel and the handrim. The driving assembly is configured to be fixed to the wheelchair frame. The two film sensors are disposed on the driving assembly and respectively pressed by the two film sensors. Each of the two film sensors is configured to generate a sensor value. The controller is configured to receive the sensor values from the two film sensors and signal the driving assembly.
