Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a system and a method for assisting a rider of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to interaction of vehicle with multiple external devices for assisting the rider of the vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] In modern era, attempts have been made to provide systems and methods which connect a vehicle with one or more external devices to automate various functions of the vehicle. However, even with use of such systems and methods, manual intervention is still required by a rider at various stages of riding the vehicle which can be easily automated with the help of external devices. In one example, manual insertion of key is still required in saddle type vehicles which is inconvenient. In another example, the rider of saddle type vehicle still needs to pull over the vehicle for attending or rejecting calls which causes inconvenience and loss in riding experience. In yet another example, use of a personal digital assistant while riding the vehicle is a serious safety concern for the rider of the vehicle as well as pedestrians. In yet another example, the tyre pressure of the vehicle has to be checked manually by the rider of the vehicle and no warning is provided to the rider of the vehicle when the tyre pressure is less than a pre-defined pressure. In yet another example, the conventional lock systems in the vehicle are easy to crack and poses a risk to safety of the vehicle. In yet another example, critical warnings with respect to vehicle are either not provided to the rider of the vehicle or provided in a manner which can be missed by the rider of the vehicle while riding the vehicle. In yet another example, an owner of the vehicle may not be the rider of the vehicle. For example, the owner may have a fleet of vehicles being driven by different riders. In such a scenario, the owner of the vehicle cannot remotely receive different parameter of the vehicle, which is undesirable. In yet another example, the rider of the vehicle is generally unaware of the tyre pressures unless physically checked by a tyre pressure machine or a mechanic. It is known that air pressure inside the tyre is an important parameter for the vehicle performance. In case the tyre pressure in a wheel is reduced, the shock load absorption capacity of tyre is reduced and load transfer to rim is increased. So, in case of high kinetic energy or high speed of the vehicle, when the wheel comes in contact with pot holes or any sudden speed breaker, the chances of wheel being deformed is very high. This might lead to replacement of complete wheel. In electric vehicles, traction motor is mounted on a rear wheel of the vehicle. In case the rim of the rear wheel is deformed, there are high chances that the traction motor might also get damaged. Also, as the tyre pressure is reduced, the contact area of the tyre with the road increases which results in high tyre resistance. The high tyre resistance will result in fast draining of battery which is undesirable. Also, at high speed of the vehicle and low tyre pressure, high heat is generated which is undesirable. Prior arts have attempted to solve the above-mentioned problems with respect to low tyre pressure by controlling speed of the vehicle. In the prior art, in the instance of low tyre pressure, the speed of the vehicle is controlled by controlling various parameters of the internal combustion engine. However, in case of panic situation, like when the rider feels unsafe and need to reach a safe place quickly, no means are provided to terminate such controlling of speed, which is undesirable. These are just a few examples of how the system and method available in the prior art do not provide a seamless hassle free experience to the rider of the vehicle.
[003] In view thereof, there is a need-felt to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and provide a system and method wherein multiple external devices communicate with the vehicle to provide a seamless hassle free experience to the rider and the registered owner of the vehicle at various stages of riding the vehicle.
