Abstract
The present invention obtains a controller capable of handling special travel made by a straddle-type vehicle. The present invention also obtains a rider-assistance system including such a controller. The present invention further obtains a control method capable of handling special travel made by a straddle-type vehicle. Surrounding environment information of a straddle-type vehicle (100) is acquired on the basis of output of at least one surrounding environment detector (11). Then, based on the surrounding environment information, presence or absence of slip-by travel between rows of vehicles made by the straddle-type vehicle (100) is analyzed. As a result, rider-assistance operation that corresponds to the analysis result is executed.
Claims12
A controller (20) for a straddle-type vehicle (100), to which at least one surrounding environment detector (11) is mounted, the controller (20) comprising:
- an execution section (23) that executes a rider-assistance operation to assist with a rider of the straddle-type vehicle (100);
- an acquisition section (21) that acquires surrounding environment information of the straddle-type vehicle (100) on the basis of output of the surrounding environment detector (11);
- and
- an analysis section (22) that analyzes presence or absence of slip-by travel between rows of vehicles, in which the straddle-type vehicle (100) slips by between a left row of vehicles and a right row of vehicles, made by the straddle-type vehicle (100) on the basis of the surrounding environment information acquired by the acquisition section (21), wherein
- the execution section (23) executes the rider-assistance operation that corresponds to an analysis result of the presence or the absence of the slip-by travel between the rows of vehicles by the analysis section (22) when the analysis section (22) determines that a travel state of the straddle-type vehicle (100) is the slip-by travel between the rows of vehicles.
A rider-assistance system (1) comprising:
- a controller (20) having
- an execution section (23) that executes a rider-assistance operation to assist with a rider of the straddle-type vehicle (100);
- an acquisition section (21) that acquires surrounding environment information of the straddle-type vehicle (100) on the basis of output of a surrounding environment detector (11);
- and
- an analysis section (22) that analyzes presence or absence of slip-by travel between rows of vehicles, in which the straddle-type vehicle (100) slips by between a left row of vehicles and a right row of vehicles, made by the straddle-type vehicle (100) on the basis of the surrounding environment information acquired by the acquisition section (21), wherein
- the execution section (23) executes the rider-assistance operation that corresponds to an analysis result of the presence or the absence of the slip-by travel between the rows of vehicles by the analysis section (22) when the analysis section (22) determines that a travel state of the straddle-type vehicle (100) is the slip-by travel between the rows of vehicles.
A control method for a straddle-type vehicle (100), to which at least one surrounding environment detector (11) is mounted, the control method comprising:
- an execution step (S103) in which an execution section (23) of a controller (20) executes a rider-assistance operation to assist with a rider of the straddle-type vehicle (100), and further comprising:
- an acquisition step (S101) in which an acquisition section (21) of the controller (20) acquires surrounding environment information of the straddle-type vehicle (100) on the basis of output of the surrounding environment detector (11);
- and
- an analysis step (S102) in which an analysis section (22) of the controller (20) analyzes presence or absence of slip-by travel between rows of vehicles, in which the straddle-type vehicle (100) slips by between a left row of vehicles and a right row of vehicles, made by the straddle-type vehicle (100) on the basis of the surrounding environment information acquired in the acquisition step (S101), wherein in the execution step (S103), the execution section (23) executes the rider-assistance operation that corresponds to an analysis result of the presence or the absence of the slip-by travel between the rows of vehicles made in the analysis step (S102) when the analysis section (22) determines that a travel state of the straddle-type vehicle (100) is the slip-by travel between the rows of vehicles.
