	Segway develops a human transporter just for the golf course
		The revolutionary Segway human transporter is joining the golf industry with the introduction of the Segway GT that comes equipped to carry a golf bag, ice chest, scorecard and GPS equipment.
		The Segway uses technology called "dynamic stabilization" that enables it to work effortlessly with the body's movements; gyroscopes and tilt sensors in the unit monitor a rider's center of gravity at approximately 100 times per second, responding to changes in the body position.
		Segway HT America, the Houston-based distributor of Segway LLC, said the GT allows a foursome to play faster by transporting each golfer individually to his or her ball, and along cart paths, inclines and fairways.

	Prevention Institute: Segway Human Transporter
		Participating employees would be trained on the use of the Segway and would use the device to commute between the BART station and their place of employment and then possibly for local trips during the workday.
		The Segway would not be used for transportation from a place of residence to a BART station, but the researchers want to explore this.
		If the Segway was seen as an unpleasant or unsafe addition to heavily trafficked pedestrian and bike paths, there is the possibility that it could generally discourage walking and biking, especially among more vulnerable populations like the elderly, disabled, and children.

	Segway Human transporter
		The Segway HT is a two wheeled, battery powered, one-person vehicle that is self-balancing (when a rider is on it) and it was invented by Dean Kamen.
		It has a maximum carrying capacity (rider+cargo) of 260 pounds, a top speed of 12.5 mph and is the only Segway model that has an "electronic parking stand" that allows it to balance by itself without a rider on it.
		All three models of the Segway have a power assist mode which is used to move the Segway when the rider isn't on it.

	Segway Human Transporter - Austria
		We believe that, in time, the Segway HT will lead to a reconfiguration of the way communities are built by significantly extending people's walking zones, thereby enabling better use of space and the transportation infrastructure.
		Segway recommends that riders be 16 years old or older, weigh no more than 113 kg (for the i Series, no more than 91 kg for the p Series) and no less than 45 kg.
		The Segway Human Transporter (HT) is the result of years of research and development led by Kamen with the goal of building something that would make a unique and lasting contribution to society.

	Segway Human Transporter Begins Postal Run
		The Segway's first postal test runs in Tampa will continue through Feb. 8, and more are planned in Fort Meyers and Concord, N.H. Police officers in Boston are scheduled to give the Segway a test run in February.
		Meanwhile, the Segway caught the attention of the Commander in Chief last week when Kamen joined about 100 friends and backers of President Bush who were invited to a pre-speech reception at the University of New Hampshire.
		The scooter-like device, designed to mimic the human body's ability to maintain its balance, allows riders to control speed and direction by shifting their weight and using a manual turning mechanism on one of the handlebars.

	It - Ginger - Dean Kamen
		Segway will produce three distinct models: the i-series optimizes range and speed across a variety of terrain; the e-series is designed for business applications where it is necessary to carry cargo -- up to 75 pounds in addition to the rider; the p-series will be ideal for densely populated areas, both indoors and out.
		Delphi Automotive Systems assisted in the development of the Segway HT's circuit boards and user interface components, which are key electronic system elements used to control the human transporter.
		Segway HT is the first commercial application for its game-changing SOLLX polymer, a weather and chemical resistant film that offers an alternative to paint.

	Segway Human Transporter - Austria
		The Segway HT does pretty much the same thing, except it has wheels instead of legs, a motor instead of muscles, a collection of microprocessors instead of a brain and a set of sophisticated tilt sensors instead of an inner-ear balancing system.
		Segway calls this behavior dynamic stabilization and has patented the unique process that allows the Segway HT to balance on just two wheels.
		The Segway HT has five gyroscopic sensors, though it only needs three to detect forward and backward pitch as well as leaning to the left or right (termed "roll").

	Impressions after riding a Segway HT: Part 1
		From two hours of riding on a Segway, I found that it is remarkably stable, rugged, and versatile.
		As part of getting acceptance for the Segway on sidewalks and other public places, they are working hard to introduce as many people as possible to the product.
		Their goal seems to be to get people to understand just a few basic ideas: The Segway stands up and keeps you up, it's fun and easy to use to get around, and it's benign and fits in amongst people.

		Segway's onboard computers constantly compare the data from all five gyros to determine if any of the five is supplying faulty data--in this condition, it can compensate and use data from the remaining sensors to continue balancing through a controlled safety shutdown.
		Feedback from the motor back to the Segway HT is provided by redundant, noncontact analog hall sensors that sense the positions of magnets with no moving parts other than the motor shaft itself.
		Our engineers were so obsessed with the details on the Segway HT that they designed the meshes in the gearbox to produce sound exactly two musical octaves apart--when the Segway HT moves, it makes music, not noise.

		Segway inventor Dean Kamen wanted it to become a fixture on traffic-clogged city streets, allowing commuters to "drive" to work at the civilised speed of 12mph.
		No official sales figures are released by Segway but there are just 30 to 50 of the machines estimated to be in the country, according to its UK distributor - BAE Systems.
		Segways are designed for use on the pavement, but the only motorised vehicles allowed alongside pedestrians in the UK are electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

		The Segway is reportedly capable of speeds up to 20 miles per hour, but a speed-governing key is used to limit the speed that a given rider can go.
		The manufacturers of the Segway launched an aggressive lobbying campaign to amend state and Federal law to ensure that the device is not regulated as a motorized vehicle and that it is able to operate on sidewalks and trails rather than the road.
		While the specific legislative proposals are slightly different in every state, the general goal of the legislative campaign is to classify the Segway as a pedestrian and permit use of the sidewalk unless a local jurisdiction specifically bans them.

	The Technology Behind The Segway
		Dean Kamen, the Segway's inventor, unveiled the machine after almost a year of fevered speculation last week; instead of a personal levitation device, the Segway is actually an innovative two-wheel scooter seen as a replacement for automobiles in urban environments.
		For example, Cohen said that Segway is evaluating two types of trailers that could be mounted on the "i-series" Segway: a traditional unpowered passive trailer, and an "active" powered model that would intelligently follow the master Segway around obstacles and corners.
		While the Segway is not designed to be ridden up stairs, as other reports have said, the Segway can be used in a self-powered idle mode that allows the machine to be dragged behind a user at walking speed.

	Segway Human Transporter - agentland
		A two-wheeled electric vehicle that's practical, efficient, slightly miraculous, and an undeniably fun way of getting around, it's as different from a bicycle or motorcycle as the original personal computers were from their lumbering, mainframe predecessors.
		We timed its startup speed from the off position to ready to ride: pressing an encrypted "key" to the key port (the key looks like a large watch battery on a plastic fob), hitting the start button, and waiting for the smiley face to come up took a little more than one second.
		Its footprint is only a bit wider than a large man, so we were able to do things like ride comfortably in an elevator with another Segway HT rider and a pedestrian, with an almost disappointing lack of bustle or incident.
