Abstract
The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of improving safety of adaptive cruise operation in a motorcycle. In the controller for operation of the motorcycle, to which a surrounding environment detector is mounted, an adaptive cruise operation performing section controls deceleration to be generated by the motorcycle in adaptive cruise operation to be equal to or lower than an upper limit value or to be lower than the upper limit value, determines a collision possibility of the motorcycle on the basis of the upper limit value during the adaptive cruise operation, and performs warning operation that acts on a tactile organ of a rider of the motorcycle when determining that the collision possibility is high.
Claims14
A controller (20) for operation of a motorcycle (100), to which a surrounding environment detector (11) is mounted, the controller configured to:
- acquire surrounding environment information of the motorcycle (100) on the basis of output of the surrounding environment detector (11) during travel of said motorcycle (100);
- make the motorcycle (100) perform an adaptive cruise operation on the basis of the surrounding environment information acquired by the acquisition section (21), wherein
- the controller (20) controls deceleration to be generated by the motorcycle (100) in the adaptive cruise operation to be equal to or lower than an upper limit value, and
- during the adaptive cruise operation, determines a collision possibility of the motorcycle (100) on the basis of the upper limit value, and, when determining that said collision possibility is high, performs warning operation that acts on a tactile organ of a rider of said motorcycle (100).
A control method for operation of a motorcycle (100), to which a surrounding environment detector (11) is mounted, the control method comprising:
- an acquisition step (S101) in which a controller (20) acquires surrounding environment information of the motorcycle (100) on the basis of output of the surrounding environment detector (11) during travel of said motorcycle (100);
- and
- an adaptive cruise operation performing step (S102 to S106) in which the controller (20) makes the motorcycle (100) perform adaptive cruise operation on the basis of the surrounding environment information acquired in the acquisition step (S101), wherein
- in the adaptive cruise operation performing step (S102 to S106),
- the controller (20)
- controls deceleration to be generated by the motorcycle (100) in the adaptive cruise operation to be equal to or lower than an upper limit value, and
- during the adaptive cruise operation, determines a collision possibility of the motorcycle (100) on the basis of the upper limit value, and, when determining that said collision possibility is high, performs warning operation that acts on a tactile organ of a rider of said motorcycle (100).
