AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system for controlling the movement of vehicles during braking. It uses sensors to monitor the road surface's conditions and adjust the amount of pressure needed to prevent excessive slip between the wheels. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, they are able to slow down their car without losing grip. They also use an anti-lock brake system (ABS) to keep the wheels spinning smoothly even at very low speeds. Overall, this technology helps improve safety and efficiency in driving cars.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes various technical problem addressed in the patent text relating to the lack of traction control systems in four-wheel and three-wheeled trucks due to reduced engine power output caused by the larger size of the rear wheel. Existing systems either fail to effectively prevent wheel slips during rapid acceleration or cannot handle heavy loads while driving over rough terrain. There is a need for a traction control system that can increase rear wheel traction and improve handling capabilities.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 is a left view of a complete two wheel motorcycle 10 with the invention installed and shows the configuration of the invention when installed in a two wheel motorcycle or three wheel motorcycle having two wheels in the front and one wheel in the rear which contains a frame 22 which provides structure for the motorcycle and a place to attach other components. At the front end is mounted a front wheel 26 that is not driven by the motor 24 and a front wheel speed sensor 11 that measures the front wheel 26 rotational speed. At the rear is mounted a rear wheel 28 that is driven by the motor 24 and a rear wheel speed sensor 14 that measures the rear wheel 28 rotational speed.

[0028]The traction control system is controlled by the operator using the system control switch 20. The operator can turn the system on or off as well as selecting several preset degrees of allowable rear wheel 28 slippage. The operator can also turn the rear suspension damping feature on or off.

Abstract

A traction control system for two and three wheeled motorcycles that prevents or limits the rear wheel(s) from slipping when the operator accelerates the vehicle. If the torque supplied by the motor exceeds the tractive force developed between the rear tire(s) and the road surface the rear tire(s) will slip creating a dangerous condition. The operator engages the system and selects the degree of desired traction control. The system detects rear (driven) and front (non-driven) wheel rotational speeds. If the rear wheel(s) begins rotating faster than the front wheel(s) the traction control computer will send a signal to the motor control unit to reduce the motor's power output. Additionally, as the operator applies the throttle the traction control computer sends a signal is sent to the rear suspension to stiffen for the purpose of more efficiently transmitting power to the rear wheel(s) and road surface.
