Abstract: A control unit and a method are provided for controlling a riding function of a two-wheeled vehicle. The riding function is configured to guide the two-wheeled vehicle longitudinally and/or transversely in an automated manner. The control unit is configured to detect that the riding function is activated in order to bring about automated longitudinal and/or transverse guidance by the riding function, to determine that dynamic adaptation of the riding function is requested by the driver, and in response thereto, to initiate that, with the riding function being active, a control parameter influencing the dynamics of the riding function is adapted on the basis of the requested dynamic adaptation.

This is achieved by virtue of the maneuvering system comprising a second optical sensor device arranged at the vehicle in a manner offset relative to the first optical sensor device in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: To further improve, in a brake control method and device for a two-wheeled motor vehicle that utilizes a wheel cylinder pressure as a parameter for predicting the potential for lifting of a rear wheel, the accuracy of predicting lifting of the rear wheel. A brake control method of the present invention comprises the steps of inputting a signal of an input sensor (step 100); detecting a front wheel cylinder pressure (step 102); detecting an amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure (step 104); determining whether or not the front wheel cylinder pressure and the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that have been detected correspond to a brake condition where lifting of a rear wheel can occur (step 106); and, when it is determined that the front wheel cylinder pressure and the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that have been detected correspond to the brake condition, reducing a pressure amplification gradient of the front wheel cylinder pressure.

Abstract: To enable, with respect to a vehicle whose vehicle body is easily lifted to a relatively large extent even in a relatively early stage when rear wheel lifting is detected, more rapid and reliable securement of the safety of the vehicle body with respect to that rear wheel lifting. When lifting of a rear wheel is detected, in contrast to what has conventionally been the case, pressure reduction of brake pressure of a front wheel is immediately started (S100, S102) regardless of whether or not there is occurrence of skidding of the front wheel, a stepwise reduction of brake pressure is performed while lifting of the rear wheel is being detected, and when the integrated amount of that amount of pressure reduction reaches a predetermined value, pressure reduction is ended even in a state where rear wheel lifting is being detected.

Abstract: To predictively determine the occurrence of rear wheel lifting before actual lifting of a rear wheel occurs and enable control of brake force. Vehicle body deceleration is computed on the basis of wheel velocities obtained by wheel velocity sensors 45 and 46 (S102), and when it is determined that that computed value exceeds a predetermined value K1 (S104), then the pressure of a front wheel cylinder 3 is reduced by a predetermined pressure and held at that reduced pressure (S106), and when it is determined that vehicle body deceleration has fallen below a value that is, for example, lower by a predetermined value ? than the predetermined value K1 (S108), then the state of holding of the pressure of the front wheel cylinder 3 is released (S110) and brake control returns to normal brake control.
