LONGITUDINAL FORCE CONTROL APPARATUS AND SADDLED VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME

摘要

Provided is a longitudinal force control apparatus. A lateral acceleration acquisition section acquires a lateral acceleration along a right-left direction acting on a vehicle. A bank angle acquisition circuit acquires a bank angle of the vehicle. A longitudinal force controller may decrease an absolute value of a longitudinal force at least with respect to a driving wheel of the vehicle based on the acquired lateral acceleration and the bank angle when it is determined that a calculated lateral-skid acceleration is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. The longitudinal force is a sum of forces along a front-rear direction acting on the driving wheel.

主权项

1. A longitudinal force control apparatus comprising:
a lateral acceleration acquisition section configured to acquire a lateral acceleration, the lateral acceleration being an acceleration along a right-left direction acting on a vehicle; a bank angle acquisition circuit configured to acquire a bank angle of the vehicle; and a longitudinal force controller configured to decrease an absolute value of a longitudinal force at least with respect to a driving wheel of the vehicle based on the acquired lateral acceleration and the bank angle, the longitudinal force being a sum of forces along a front-rear direction acting on the driving wheel, the longitudinal force controller including
a lateral-skid acceleration calculation circuit configured to at least calculate a lateral-skid acceleration of the driving wheel based on at least the acquired lateral acceleration and the bank angle, anda judgment circuit configured to determine whether the calculated lateral-skid acceleration is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold,the longitudinal force controller determining first and second velocity ranges, the second velocity range being greater in velocity than the first velocity range, the threshold being greater when a velocity of travel of the vehicle is in the second velocity range than when the velocity of travel of the vehicle is in the first velocity range.
