Description of the Drawings

[0032] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the system flow of the device of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0033] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] Aiming at the problem that the existing motorcycle riding lacks an effective safety warning system and usually cannot quickly respond to complex traffic conditions, resulting in slow reaction speed and misjudgment of riders in the face of emergencies, thereby increasing the risk of accidents, an intelligent safety warning and emergency braking linkage device for electric motorcycles is proposed. Please refer to Figure 1 This device includes a data acquisition module, a data processing module, a warning module, an emergency braking module, and a user feedback module;

[0035] The data acquisition module is a core component of the intelligent safety warning and emergency braking linkage system for electric motorcycles. Its main function is to obtain and process various important data during the driving process of the motorcycle in real time. This module uses a variety of advanced sensor technologies to ensure the accuracy and real-time nature of information;

[0036] The vehicle speed sensor monitors the wheel speed and accurately measures the driving speed of the motorcycle using Hall effect or photoelectric sensing technology. This sensor can quickly respond to speed changes and transmit data to the data processing module in real time, providing a basis for safety assessment;

[0037] The acceleration sensor is a sensor based on micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology, which can detect the acceleration changes of the motorcycle. By measuring the three-axis acceleration, the system can obtain the dynamic state of the motorcycle during driving, which is crucial for judging the driving stability and emergency response ability of the motorcycle;

[0038] The tilt sensor uses a highly sensitive gyroscope or inclinometer to real-time monitor the tilt angle of the motorcycle. This data is of great significance for judging the tilt condition of the motorcycle during driving and the stability during turning, and can identify potential rollover risks in advance;

[0039] The laser distance sensor uses the principle of laser ranging to accurately measure the distance between the motorcycle and the obstacle in front. This sensor can provide high-resolution distance data in a short time, enabling the system to real-time evaluate potential collision risks and give an alarm in time;

[0040] The data acquisition module is also equipped with environmental sensors for collecting information on the motorcycle's surrounding environment, including temperature, humidity, light intensity, and road conditions, etc. These environmental data not only help to judge the current driving conditions, but also can affect the driving performance and safety of the motorcycle in some cases;

[0041] By adopting a variety of high-tech sensors, the data acquisition module can comprehensively and accurately obtain the driving speed, acceleration, tilt angle of the motorcycle, and the distance from the obstacle, thus providing the necessary data basis for the intelligent safety warning and emergency braking system. In the whole system, the real-time and accuracy of the data acquisition module are crucial, which ensures that the driver can make timely and effective responses with the help of this information, improving the driving safety and reliability;

[0042] The main task of the data processing module is to deeply analyze and calculate the motorcycle impact data collected in real time to ensure the effective monitoring of safety and driving performance. This module first calculates the relative distance between the motorcycle and the obstacle through the data analysis algorithm. The formula is:

[0043] D relative =D obstacle -D motorcycle

[0044] Among them, D relative represents the distance between the motorcycle and the obstacle. If this value is less than the set threshold, the system will give an alarm to prompt the driver of the potential collision risk. Such calculation can achieve the real-time perception of the surrounding environment and enhance the driving safety;

[0045] Secondly, the data processing module is also responsible for calculating the braking distance of the motorcycle. The formula is:

[0046]

[0047] Here, d brake is the braking distance of the motorcycle after applying the brakes, V current represents the current driving speed, and a brake is the braking acceleration of the motorcycle. This calculation can help the system accurately predict the braking distance required in an emergency, ensuring that the motorcycle can stop in time and safely when an obstacle or unexpected situation occurs;

[0048] In addition, the module also calculates the acceleration change rate of the motorcycle, and the formula is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] where a current represents the current acceleration of the motorcycle, a previous represents the acceleration of the motorcycle at the previous moment, and Δt is the time interval. By monitoring the acceleration change, this calculation can evaluate the dynamic stability of the motorcycle during driving, identify the risks brought by excessive acceleration or deceleration, and then make a reaction in advance;

[0051] For the real-time intelligent evaluation of the motorcycle driving road conditions, a comprehensive evaluation function is adopted:

[0052] Safe Status=f(D relative ,V current ,a bike ,a brake ,road condition)

[0053] This function combines multiple parameters, including relative distance, driving speed, current acceleration, braking situation, and road condition factors, so as to form an evaluation index reflecting the current driving safety. This kind of intelligent evaluation can not only be used for real-time safety monitoring, but also dynamically adjust the strategy according to the real-time changing driving environment to ensure the best driving safety;

[0054] In addition, the data processing module also includes a fault detection sub-module. This module independently monitors the key system faults of the motorcycle, analyzes the output signals of the sensors using self-diagnosis algorithms. When a potential fault is detected, this sub-module can quickly identify the fault type and adjust the data evaluation strategy according to the different degrees of fault impact. For example, if a sensor fault causes abnormal data, the system will reduce the weight of this data to ensure that the effectiveness of other data sources is not affected, thus maintaining the overall safety evaluation stability of the system. This ability of real-time monitoring and fault self-diagnosis greatly improves the safety of the electric motorcycle, ensuring that the driver can drive in a safe environment;

[0055] The main function of the warning module is to analyze the evaluation and analysis results from the data processing module in real time. Once the module receives abnormal data, such as the relative distance between the motorcycle and the obstacle being lower than the set safety threshold, the driving speed exceeding the safe range, or the acceleration and braking parameters exceeding the normal working range, the warning module will quickly react, issue a safety warning signal, and transmit this signal immediately to the emergency braking module. This process utilizes a variety of communication technologies, including the CAN bus or in-vehicle network protocol, to ensure the reliability and real-time nature of data transmission;

[0056] After receiving the safety warning signal, the emergency braking module immediately interacts with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) of the motorcycle. This interaction is achieved through the electronic control unit (ECU), which can receive the signal and execute the braking operation within an extremely short time. The ABS can effectively prevent the wheels from locking during emergency braking, ensuring that the motorcycle maintains a controllable driving state during braking, thus avoiding potential dangers such as rollover or loss of control. In addition, the design of the emergency braking module allows it to adapt different braking strategies according to specific driving conditions;

[0057] The emergency braking module has an intelligent adaptation function that can dynamically adjust the braking force according to the current speed of the motorcycle, road conditions, and the rider's driving behavior. For example, when it detects that the motorcycle is driving on a slippery road surface, the system will automatically reduce the braking force to prevent the wheels from locking. On the contrary, under dry and good road conditions, the system can increase the braking force to shorten the braking distance. This ability to dynamically adjust is achieved through advanced control algorithms and real-time data analysis, which perform real-time analysis based on the input sensor data (such as speed sensors and acceleration sensors) to achieve precise control and ensure that the motorcycle can obtain the best braking performance under various driving conditions;

[0058] The user feedback module aims to enhance the rider's sense of security and driving experience through human-machine interaction. This module is connected to a high-resolution networked data screen that can display the current state of the motorcycle, warning information, and driving data in real time. This data screen uses advanced liquid crystal display technology and has good visibility, being clearly visible under different lighting conditions. The user can view important information such as the current speed, fuel or power status, acceleration, tilt angle, and relative distance to the obstacle through an intuitive graphical interface. In addition, if the system issues a warning signal, the corresponding safety prompt, such as "Obstacle ahead, please slow down", will be immediately updated and displayed on the screen to quickly attract the rider's attention;

[0059] To further enhance the user experience, the user feedback module also has a voice prompt function. This function combines natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence technologies and can automatically announce the current driving status and safety suggestions to the rider through the surround sound system during driving. For example, when the motorcycle is about to face an emergency (such as sudden braking, lane deviation, etc.), the system will voice a reminder like "There is an obstacle ahead, please slow down" or "Please maintain a stable posture to prevent tipping over", etc. Such general and timely reminders can ensure that the rider can also receive safety guidance when their attention is distracted or in a non-visible situation;

[0060] The implementation of the voice prompt relies on a high-sensitivity microphone and speaker system, which can clearly transmit information in a noisy environment. At the same time, this function supports customized settings. Users can choose the volume, tone, and prompt frequency of the voice prompt, so as to provide a personalized experience. Combining the visual information of the data screen and the voice prompt, users can obtain comprehensive and timely driving information. This efficient human-machine interaction method not only improves the safety of riding but also enables the driver to always have a clear understanding of the motorcycle's status during driving.

[0061] Through the collaborative work of the various modules of the device of the present invention, not only is the active safety protection level of the motorcycle improved, but it also helps to reduce the accident rate and creates a safer travel environment for the rider.

[0062] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
