  • Patent number: 11685372
    Abstract: The invention obtains a processing unit and a processing method capable of improving a rider's safety. The invention also obtains a collision warning system that includes the processing unit. The invention further obtains a motorcycle that includes the collision warning system. A processing unit (20) includes: an acquisition section (21) that acquires environment information corresponding to output of an environment detector (11); a determination section (22) that determines presence or absence of a possibility of a collision on the basis of the environment information; and a control section (23) that makes a warning device (30) output a warning in the case where the determination section (22) determines that there is the possibility of the collision. During travel of the motorcycle, the acquisition section (21) acquires posture information related to a bank angle of the motorcycle, and the control section (23) changes the warning output by the warning device (30) in accordance with the posture information.

  • Patent number: 11150335
    Abstract: A processing unit includes: an acquisition section that acquires forward environment information corresponding to output of a forward environment detector; a recognition section that recognizes the target on the basis of the forward environment information; and a control section that controls the forward environment detector. During travel of the motorcycle, the acquisition section acquires posture information related to a bank angle of the motorcycle, and the control section changes a detection angle range for forward detection of the motorcycle by the forward environment detector in accordance with the posture information.
