Dual Independent Control System for Electric Vehicle Safety

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

The inventors of a new patent have developed a dual independent control system for electric vehicles that ensures user safety by providing early warnings of potential hazards. The system, designed for two-wheeled vehicles, uses a first control system to monitor the steering state and generate early-warning state data, which is then transmitted to a second control system. The second control system receives the data and generates early-warning information, which is displayed to the user via a helmet or other display apparatus.

Key Takeaways:

  • The dual independent control system is designed to operate in real-time, monitoring the steering state and generating early-warning state data to prevent accidents.
  • The system includes a first control system, a second control system, and a helmet or display apparatus, all connected and capable of exchanging data in real-time.
  • The first control system is configured to detect steering state, generate steering state data, and control corresponding components of the vehicle to operate according to control instructions and internal preset instructions.
  • The second control system receives the steering state data and early-warning state data, generates early-warning information, and controls the display apparatus to show the user the potential hazards.
  • In a preferred embodiment, the second control system transmits the early-warning information to a cloud server or a mobile terminal for further processing.
  • The system includes various features such as a radar to acquire radar wave signals in a blind area behind the vehicle, and an audio playback apparatus to play different early-warning audio according to the early-warning levels.
  • The helmet includes a display unit, an audio playback unit, or a light unit to display the early-warning information to the user.

Statistics:

  • The patent (U.S. Patent Number 12428091) was filed on January 10, 2021, and published online on September 30, 2025.
  • The system is designed for two-wheeled vehicles, such as electrical scooters or motorcycles.
  • The system includes at least two control systems, a helmet or display apparatus, and various sensors and components for monitoring the steering state and generating early-warning information.
  • The system is intended to prevent accidents caused by the user's narrow field of view while wearing a helmet.
  • The system includes several features to provide early warnings, such as a radar, audio playback, and light displays.
  • The system is connected to a cloud server or mobile terminal for further processing and transmission of early-warning information.
