Straddle type vehicle, method for controlling the same, control apparatus, and storage medium

A straddle type vehicle comprising:

• a front detection unit configured to detect an object in front of a self-vehicle;
• a first determination unit configured to determine whether there is an avoidance space for avoiding contact with the object by turning in a case where there is a possibility of contact of the self-vehicle with the object;
• a notification unit configured to give notification of information regarding the avoidance space in a case where the first determination unit determines that there is the avoidance space;
• and
• a second determination unit configured to determine a timing of notification by the notification unit on a basis of information regarding a possibility of avoidance of contact of the self-vehicle with the object in a case where the first determination unit determines that there is the avoidance space,
• wherein the notification unit gives notification of information, as the information regarding the avoidance space, indicating that it is possible to avoid contact with the object by turning in a travel lane in which the self-vehicle is traveling, and
• wherein the second determination unit determines the timing of notification based on:
• a situation of the self-vehicle;
• an environment parameter;
• and/or
• a parameter regarding a traveling skill of a rider.

A control method for a straddle type vehicle, comprising:

• a front detection step of detecting an object in front of a self-vehicle;
• a determination step of determining whether there is an avoidance space on a left side or right side of the object for avoiding contact with the object by turning in a case where there is a possibility of contact of the self-vehicle with the object and an avoidance of the contact of the self-vehicle with the object by braking is impossible;
• and
• a notification step of giving notification of information regarding the avoidance space in a case where it is determined that there is the avoidance space in the determination process,
• wherein in the notification step, notification of information, as the information regarding the avoidance space, indicating the avoidance space is on a left side or right side of the object and that that it is possible to avoid contact with the object by turning in a travel lane in which the self-vehicle is traveling is given.
