  • the present invention generally refers to an advanced electronic safety system - of the passive and active type - for drivers of two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles.
  • the invention relates to an electronic system configured to allow either the function of displaying changes in direction and braking performed by drivers of two or three-wheeled vehicles, such as cycles, motorcycles and/or e-bikes and, specifically, performed by motorcyclists, cyclists and/or e-bikers, and the function of activating an emergency call or SMS (eCALL), in case of accident, to predefined contact phone numbers, by means of an APP running on a smartphone or smartwatch in use by the driver of the two or three-wheeled vehicle.
  • eCALL emergency call or SMS
  • the displaying system comprises two direction indicators to be placed on the vehicle handlebar and one or two contact sensors located in the braking devices which is always present on the vehicle handlebar; the direction indicators and the contact sensors are connected to an electronic device powered by a rechargeable battery or other vehicle transmission means and are able to communicate with another electronic device which is inserted in a motorcycle, cycle and e-bike helmet or in a garment used by a user of the two or three-wheeled vehicle.
  • the safety system created of the invention is thus able to communicate an imminent change of direction or braking or stopping of the vehicle to the other vehicles on the road following the user; moreover, the system is able to send information to pre-selected phone numbers of an accidental event, in order to activate an immediate first aid thanks to the indication of the position in which the accident occurred (by means of a geo-location).
  • the displaying system of the safety system includes:
  • said electronic device includes an electronic card, a CPU, a wireless and/or radio frequency communication chip, a management chip for the two direction indicators (right and left), a chip for managing one or more contact sensors placed on one or more braking elements of the vehicle, a chip for managing communications with other electronic devices, one or more motion sensors (gyroscope and/or accelerometer), and a rechargeable battery or other power sources derived from the vehicle transmission;
  • one or more contact sensors placed on one or more braking elements of the vehicle (for example, a brake lever or an electric braking button or a brake pedal) and connected to said electronic device; an additional electronic device inserted on a motorcycle, cycle and/or e-bike helmet or in a garment of the user, which includes an electronic card, a CPU, two wireless and/or radiofrequency communication chips, one or more movement sensors (gyroscope and/or accelerometer), a chip for managing the position, change of direction and braking LEDs which are placed on a motorcycle, cycle and/or e-bike helmet or in a garment of the user, a chip for managing components for verbal communications (speakers and microphone) and a rechargeable battery which is configured to communicate with the electronic device placed on the vehicle handlebar and having the two direction indicators.
  • a brake lever or an electric braking button or a brake pedal for example, a brake lever or an electric braking button or a brake pedal
  • an additional electronic device inserted on a motorcycle, cycle and/or e-bike helmet or
  • An electronic information system for pre-selected phone numbers is included in the safety system according to the invention and is configured to send information about a possible accidental event suffered by the user of the two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle, so as to activate an immediate first aid;
  • said information system includes an APP running on a smartphone or smartwatch in use by the user of the two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle;
  • the safety system according to the invention uses the above mentioned electronic displaying system and operates thanks to the wireless connection of the smartphone or smartwatch with the electronic device which is inserted in the motorcycle, cycle and/or e-bike helmet or in the garment worn by the user.
  • Said APP is activated by means of an "accidental event" signal sent by the device inserted in the motorcycle, cycle and/or e-bike helmet or in the garment worn by the user and sends an alarm signal or phone alert (e-call) and/or an SMS to a preselected number of persons (contacts), indicating the name of the person who sent the alert and his/her position displayed on a digital map.
  • an "accidental event” signal sent by the device inserted in the motorcycle, cycle and/or e-bike helmet or in the garment worn by the user and sends an alarm signal or phone alert (e-call) and/or an SMS to a preselected number of persons (contacts), indicating the name of the person who sent the alert and his/her position displayed on a digital map.
  • the person who receive said alert is thus able to activate a first aid action or to request the intervention of public entities (police, doctors, firefighters, etc.).
  • the present invention thus makes it possible to create an advanced safety and prevention system, both:
  • Means for displaying the braking or stopping or changing direction actions of a vehicle such as a motorcycle, a cycle or an e-bike, with LEDs placed on a helmet managed by other electronic devices located on the handlebar and/or on the knob of the vehicle are still known; moreover, small electronic devices applied to and/or integrated with helmets configured to cooperate with APP running on smartphones to send a report of accidental events have been also recently developed.
  • Safety systems for drivers of two or three-wheeled vehicles having the technical characteristics of the preamble of the attached claim 1 are also known for example from US2019/248275 and US2016/255460.
  • control devices of the LEDs for signalling changes in direction and/or braking are exclusively buttons placed on the handlebar of a two or three-wheeled vehicle which operate for indicating the change of direction to the right or left but they are difficult to activate when braking (either you act on the brakes or push a button).
  • the present invention provides for one or more contact sensors placed on one or more braking elements of the vehicle, so that the user's operation is only one and perfectly functional for the purpose; b) the known sending systems for sending an e-call via an APP running on a smartphone, being normally made through data sent by a single motion sensor which is placed on a wearable object (garment and/or helmet), can operate even during "incorrect" situations because data sent are not compared to other verification data, with the risk of creating false alarms; c) known systems for displaying changes in direction and braking and known systems for sending an e-call via an APP running on a smartphone are separate systems and therefore the user has to perform several activities both for installing and managing different and often conflicting systems, as well as said known systems are obviously more expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an advanced passive and active safety electronic system, which allows the dual functions of displaying changes in direction and braking of drivers of two or three-wheeled vehicles, such as cycles, motorcycles and/or e-bike and, more specifically, for motorcyclists, cyclists and/or e-bikers, and activating an emergency call or SMS (e-call) in case of accident, to predefined phone numbers, via an APP running on a smartphone or smartwatch in use by the user or driver of the two or three-wheeled vehicle, thus ensuring an effective passive and active safety and a system more efficient and functional and less expensive than known similar safety electronic systems.
  • two or three-wheeled vehicles such as cycles, motorcycles and/or e-bike and, more specifically, for motorcyclists, cyclists and/or e-bikers
  • SMS e-call
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic displaying system (so as to perform a passive safety) for motorcyclists, cyclists and/or e-bikers, which can be easily installed in a two or three-wheeled vehicle and with reduced costs.
  • Another object of the present invention is to integrate an e-call system so as to obtain a "customer experience" of the user through activities which are normally implemented in the use of a two or three-wheeled vehicle and by using a simple APP running on a smartphone or smartwatch.
  • Another object of the present invention is to reduce the social costs and, in particular, the costs for medical and rehabilitation expenses incurred by the national states for weak persons who suffer accidents, which are unfortunately growing all over the world, given that two or three-wheeled vehicles are the most popular means of transport in the world.
