  • Patent number: 12090981
    Abstract: The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of hastening identification of an object or an event to be focused by a rider of a straddle-type vehicle, the rider having perceived haptic motion. A controller (51) for a rider-assistance system (50) mounted to a straddle-type vehicle (100) includes: a determination section that determines necessity of a warning given to the rider; and a haptic motion performing section that performs haptic motion at least once to reduce or increase acceleration/deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle (100) only for a moment. The haptic motion performing section changes a priority of each wheel (3, 4) at the time of changing a braking force to reduce or increase the acceleration/deceleration only for the moment in the haptic motion according to a focusing direction that is a direction in which the rider should focus by the warning.

  • Patent number: 12091031
    Abstract: The present invention is to obtain a control device and a control method capable of appropriately assisting driving of a straddle-type vehicle by a rider. In a control device (12) and a control method of the present invention, an acquisition section of the control device (12) configured to control an operation of a straddle-type vehicle (10) acquires prediction information about a future lane change by a preceding vehicle that travels ahead of the straddle-type vehicle (10), and a control section of the control device (12) causes the straddle-type vehicle (10) to execute a safety operation (for example, causes a notification device (15) to issue a warning of the lane change to the rider), when the prediction information satisfies a determination criterion during a slipping-through traveling of the straddle-type vehicle (10).
