Abstract
An automatic method for controlling in current-mode a motor for assisting with pedaling on an electrically assisted pedal cycle equipped with a sensor that measures a resultant force on its pedal and gear mechanism is provided, including injecting a control current into the motor to generate an assistance torque and computing the value of the assistance torque; computing a value of the longitudinal resultant of the assistance torque by applying a second coefficient of proportionality to the torque value computed in the preceding step; measuring a value of the longitudinal resultant of the total torque; computing a value of the longitudinal resultant of the torque exerted by the cyclist; computing an average value of the torque exerted by the cyclist over a fraction of a crank rotation; computing the value of the assistance torque to be generated in the motor; and deducing the value of the current to be injected.
