Abstract
A control method capable of improving operability of a motorcycle. In a controller and the control method according to the present invention, an execution section of the controller executes holding control for braking and holding a motorcycle without relying on a brake operation by a rider of the motorcycle at a stop of the motorcycle. The execution section switches a cancellation condition of the holding control between a first condition, under which the holding control is canceled on the basis of an output increase index value of a drive source (an engine) and connection state information of a clutch, and a second condition, under which the holding control is canceled not on the basis of the output increase index value but on the basis of the connection state information, according to a gradient of a road surface.
Claims10
A controller (30) for controlling behavior of a motorcycle (1) that includes a drive source (11), a transmission (13) connected to the drive source (11) via a clutch (12), and a drive wheel (3) connected to the transmission (13), the controller configured to:
- execute holding control for braking and holding the motorcycle (1) without relying on a brake operation by a rider of the motorcycle (1) at a stop of the motorcycle (1),
- switch a cancellation condition of the holding control between a first condition, under which the holding control is canceled on a basis of an output increase index value of the drive source (11) and connection state information of the clutch (12), and a second condition, under which the holding control is canceled not on the basis of the output increase index value but on the basis of the connection state information, according to a gradient of a road surface.
A control method for behavior of a motorcycle (1) that includes a drive source (11), a transmission (13) connected to the drive source (11) via a clutch (12), and a drive wheel (3) connected to the transmission (13), the control method comprising:
- executing holding control for braking and holding the motorcycle (1) by an execution section (32) of a controller (30) without relying on a brake operation by a rider of the motorcycle (1) at a stop of the motorcycle (1), wherein
- the execution section (32) switches a cancellation condition of the holding control between a first condition, under which the holding control is canceled on a basis of an output increase index value of the drive source (11) and connection state information of the clutch (12), and a second condition, under which the holding control is canceled not on the basis of the output increase index value but on the basis of the connection state information, according to a gradient of a road surface.
