Abstract
The invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of appropriately assisting with an operation by a driver while preventing a motorcycle from falling over. In the controller and the control method according to the invention, in a control mode to make the motorcycle perform an automatic cruise deceleration operation, automatic deceleration that is deceleration of the motorcycle generated by the automatic cruise deceleration operation is controlled in accordance with a lean angle of the motorcycle.
Claims12
A controller (60) controlling behavior of a motorcycle (100), the controller comprising:
- an acquisition section (61) that acquires a lean angle of the motorcycle (100);
- and
- an execution section (62) that initiates a control mode to make the motorcycle (100) perform an automatic cruise deceleration operation when a distance from the motorcycle to a preceding vehicle falls below a distance reference value or when a body speed of the motorcycle exceeds a speed reference value, wherein
- in the control mode, automatic deceleration that is deceleration of the motorcycle (100) generated by the automatic cruise deceleration operation is controlled in accordance with the lean angle.
A control method controlling behavior of a motorcycle, the control method comprising:
- an execution step of initiating a control mode to make the motorcycle perform an automatic cruise deceleration operation, when a distance from the motorcycle to a preceding vehicle falls below a distance reference value, or when a body speed of the motorcycle exceeds a speed reference value;
- and
- an acquisition step of acquiring a lean angle of the motorcycle, wherein
- in the control mode, automatic deceleration that is deceleration of the motorcycle generated by the automatic cruise deceleration operation is controlled in accordance with the lean angle.
