STS smart turn system universal

We often plague motorists who do not use their turn signals on the road. Nothing is more annoying for motorists than a motorbike that shows no or bad direction. The turn signal remains stuck after the last turn, often for many kilometers or even when changing lanes. A most dangerous oversight for new riders with little experience riding a motorcycle in traffic. This situation is also often experienced on a new mount or after purchasing an older motorcycle that does not have automatic turn signal feedback.

The use of turn signals is a critical requirement at all times and once turned on they should be turned off in a timely manner. Failure to do so can cause confusion both for the approaching vehicle and after traffic, possibly leading to serious consequences. And this is where the Smart Turn System comes into play.

The Smart Turn System is an automatic turn signal cancellation system designed specifically for motorcycles. It uses a microprocessor to control 300 different data items per second. Data like acceleration, inclination, fork crown steering, are all used to process information.

The STS then provides an accurate, correct and timely cancellation of the activated turn signal without the intervention required by the pilot beyond the application of the turn signal switch before the turn. The system then provides the correct response to the turn signals at the right time. The system can be outwitted with extremely short or repeated change of motorcycle position, quick movements of the handlebars or transitions of certain roundabouts, although these are rare exceptions and certainly not the rule.

A fail-safe provides 14 seconds of aftershock before the system automatically exits. Of course, the pilot can always override the turn signal manually at any time. Small and waterproof, Smart Turn Systems are relatively easy to install and once a setup test is conducted it is ready to use.

In conclusion

There is more than the phrase “Share the Road”, modern motorcycles are equipped with many passive and active safety systems, which can and should make motorcycling more enjoyable and safe. Flashers provide timely and active information between road users. Failure to use them can lead to a potentially dangerous traffic situation.

My point here? The turn signals must be used and activated in a timely manner and likewise deactivated. It’s a two way process. The consequences of incorrectly using turn signals cannot be ignored, that is for sure. The Smart Turn System provides a solution that can add a little more confidence to the equation of urban driving.
