Abstract: Controller and control method for improving operability at a time when a brake force that is retained in hill-hold control is reduced. A control section for executing the hill-hold control that retains the brake force on an inclined road surface is provided. The control section cancels retention of the brake force in the case where it is determined on the basis of a detection signal of a first detection mechanism that a first operation section for operating a brake mechanism is operated when the brake force is retained in the hill-hold control.

Abstract: A controller and a control method to a vehicle, the controller and the control method executing brake control in which primary information is selectively supplemented by secondary information that is information on an assumed state related to connection and disconnection of a clutch. The controller includes a determination section that determines whether an actual state and the assumed state, which are related to the connection and the disconnection of the clutch, match each other in accordance with a temporal change in the secondary information; and a brake control section that executes the brake control by using the primary information but not the secondary information in the case where the determination section determines that the actual state and the assumed state do not match each other.

Abstract: The invention has a purpose of providing a controller and a control method capable of improving operability at a time when a brake force that is retained in hill-hold control is reduced. A control section 7 for executing the hill-hold control that retains the brake force on an inclined road surface is provided. The control section 7 cancels retention of the brake force in the case where it is determined on the basis of a detection signal of a first detection mechanism 8 that a first operation section for operating a brake mechanism is operated when the brake force is retained in the hill-hold control.

Abstract: The invention has a purpose of improving applicability of a controller and a control method to a vehicle, the controller and the control method executing brake control in which primary information is selectively supplemented by secondary information that is information on an assumed state related to connection and disconnection of a clutch. The invention includes: a determination section 5A1 that determines whether an actual state and the assumed state, which are related to the connection and the disconnection of the clutch, match each other in accordance with a temporal change in the secondary information; and a brake control section 5A4 that executes the brake control by using the primary information but not the secondary information in the case where the determination section 5A1 determines that the actual state and the assumed state do not match each other.

Abstract: The invention has a purpose of providing a controller and a control method capable of suppressing a posture of a motorcycle from becoming unstable in a process of reducing a brake force that has been retained by hill-hold control. In the cases where the brake force, which has been retained by the hill-hold control, starts to be reduced and it is then determined on the basis of a detection signal of a detection mechanism 8 that the motorcycle starts moving, a control section 7 reduces a reduction amount of the brake force per time to make it smaller than the reduction amount of the brake force per time prior to the determination that the motorcycle starts moving.

Abstract: The invention has a purpose of improving applicability of a controller and a control method to a vehicle, the controller and the control method executing brake control in which primary information is selectively supplemented by secondary information that is information on an assumed state related to connection and disconnection of a clutch. A determination section 5A1 and a brake control section 5A4 are provided, the determination section 5A1 determining whether an actual state related to the connection and the disconnection of the clutch matches the assumed state in accordance with a relationship between the secondary information and travel state information indicative of a travel state of the vehicle, and the brake control section 5A4 executing the brake control by using the primary information but not the secondary information in the case where the determination section 5A1 determines that the actual state does not match the assumed state.

Abstract: A method and the like for controlling a vehicle brake, the method and the like capable of reliably actuating a vehicle departure assistant system even with a particularly inexpensive component configuration. In one instances, the method for controlling the vehicle brake includes: detecting a stop of a vehicle; determining whether a brake pressure applied to at least one wheel, whose brake pressure has been detected, through an operation by a driver is at least equal to an actuation pressure; activating a departure aid system when it is determined that the brake pressure is at least equal to the actuation pressure; determining whether brake pressure of a rear wheel, which is applied through the operation by the driver, is at least equal to a specified pressure that is required to stop the vehicle; and actuating the departure aid system to automatically retain the brake pressure in a state.
