  • Behavior estimation device and behavior estimation method for saddle-type vehicle
    Patent number: 12722645
    Abstract: There is provided a behavior estimation device and a behavior estimation method for analyzing a behavior of a saddle-type vehicle including a vehicle body, a drive source, and a grounded traveling body. The behavior estimation device includes: a receiving device that receives an output instruction value of the drive source by a driver and a rotational speed of the drive source, the output instruction value and the rotational speed being detected by a sensor provided in the saddle-type vehicle during traveling of the saddle-type vehicle; and a processing device that estimates whether the grounded traveling body is in a grounded state in which the grounded traveling body is in contact with a road surface or in a jump state in which the grounded traveling body is separated from the road surface based on the output instruction value and the rotational speed received.
