Two-wheeled vehicles that use conventional stability-control systems need to lean to steer, which makes it challenging for rider-assistance technologies to tell whether a rider is deliberately turning or beginning to lose balance and risk a fall. To overcome this issue, researchers at Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) in Japan have created a rider-intent-aware control system […]
Like a conductor guiding an orchestra, a battery management system (BMS) regulates an electric vehicle’s power storage. Until now, it has relied only on measurements of individual cells—such as voltage, current, and temperature—while aging or damage could only be assessed indirectly through complex external calculations. In the EU-funded Nemo project, Graz University of Technology (TU
