- the vehicle When traveling straight, the vehicle stands upright, and the tops (the centers P0 of the tires 2f and 2r in the width direction) of the cross sections of the tires 2f and 2r (surfaces that include the plane including the axle A) are in contact with the ground.
- the distance from the axle A to the ground contact point (portion in contact with the ground) of the tires 2f and 2r is the radius R of the tires 2f and 2r.
- positions Pf1 and Pr1 shifted from the width direction center P0 of the tires 2f and 2r are in contact with the ground (see FIG. 3). Therefore, the distances Rf1, Rr1 from the axle A to the ground contact points of the tires 2f, 2r are smaller than the distance R when standing upright.
- the reduction widths (R-Rr1, R-Rf1) of the distances Rf1, Rr1 from the axle A to the ground point are the curvature radii Cf, Cr of the tires 2f, 2r (tires 2f, 2r, 2r crown radius).

- ⁇ Rf Cf (1 ⁇ cos ⁇ )
- ⁇ Rr Cr (1-cos ⁇ ) Since the curvature radius Cf of the rear tire 2r is larger than the curvature radius Cf of the front tire 2f, ⁇ Rr becomes larger than ⁇ Rf.
- the decrease widths ⁇ Rf and ⁇ Rr increase as the bank angle ⁇ increases. Further, as the bank angle ⁇ increases, the difference in reduction width ( ⁇ Rr ⁇ Rf) also increases.

Further, the rotational speeds ⁇ r1 and ⁇ f1 increase as the bank angle ⁇ increases.

It is determined that the vehicle is turning.
- a threshold value hereinafter referred to as a turning determination threshold value
- FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the degree of use of the rotation of the bank and the steering 6.

- Line B7 is a diagram showing the relationship between the difference in rotational speed caused by the rotation of the steering 6 and the vehicle speed.
- Line C7 is a line indicating the sum of the value of line A7 and the value of line B7.
- the motorcycle turns mainly by the rotation of the steering 6 at a low speed (in the description here, at a vehicle speed V1 or less). Therefore, at a low speed, the rotational speed of the front wheel 2F tends to be higher than the rotational speed of the rear wheel 2R. As a result, when the radius of the tire 2f and the radius of the tire 2r are equal, the difference in rotational speed ( ⁇ r ⁇ f) due to the steering angle of the steering 6 becomes a negative value as shown by a line B7. On the other hand, the difference in rotational speed due to the bank is 0 at low speed (see line A7). When the vehicle speed exceeds V1, the steering angle of the steering 6 gradually decreases as shown in FIG.
- the rotational speed calculated from the output signal of the front wheel sensor 9a and the output signal of the rear wheel sensor 9b is a value obtained by adding together the influence of the rotation of the steering 6 and the influence of the bank. Therefore, the difference in rotational speed calculated in the control device 10 is a value indicated by a line 7C that is the sum of the line A7 and the line B7. Therefore, when the above-described turning determination threshold value used for the turning determination of the control device 10 is set to 0, for example, turning can be detected in an operation region where the vehicle speed is higher than V2. That is, according to this embodiment, turning can be detected appropriately at high speed.

- the timing determination unit 10f may determine the shift timing based on, for example, a shift command from the passenger (specifically, operation of the shift switch 9g) (manual shift mode). That is, the timing determination unit 10f may determine that the shift timing has arrived when the shift switch 9g is turned on.

- the additional condition is, for example, a condition regarding a vehicle speed, an engine torque, a brake operation, or a steering angle of the steering 6.
- the turning determination unit 10b determines whether or not the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined threshold in S107. Then, the turning determination unit 10b determines that the vehicle is turning when the vehicle speed is higher than the threshold value.

- the turning determination unit 10b may determine whether or not the brake operation is performed based on the output signal of the brake sensor 9d in S107. Then, the turning determination unit 10b may determine that the vehicle is turning when the brake operation is not performed.
- the rotational speed of the rear wheel 2R may thereby be higher than the rotational speed of the front wheel 2F. For this reason, by making it an additional condition that the brake operation is not performed in this way, the detection of turning becomes further accurate. Note that it is only necessary to determine whether or not the brake operation is performed only for the front wheel 2F.
- the turning determination unit 10b may determine whether or not the steering angle of the steering wheel 6 detected by the steering angle sensor 9c is higher than a predetermined threshold value in S107.

- the shift suppression process only in the automatic shift mode, it is possible to suppress a shift that is not intended by the passenger during the turn.
- the turning determination unit 10b further determines whether or not the vehicle is turning based on the vehicle speed, the engine torque, the brake operation, or the steering angle of the steering. Thereby, the detection of turning becomes more accurate.

- the same reference numerals are given to the same processes as those described above.
- the control device 10 calculates the rotation speed of the front wheel 2F and the rotation speed of the rear wheel 2R (S101), and the turning determination unit 10b calculates a speed relative value based on these rotation speeds (S102).
- the turning determination unit 10b determines whether or not the vehicle is already turning (S108). Specifically, the turn determination unit 10b stores, in the storage unit 19, a flag indicating that the vehicle is turning, for example, when it is determined that the vehicle is turning, as in S105 described above.

Specifically, the turning determination unit 10b determines whether or not the speed relative value (for example, ⁇ r ⁇ k ⁇ ⁇ f or ⁇ r / (k ⁇ ⁇ f)) is lower than a predetermined threshold (hereinafter, turning end determination threshold Th2). Is determined (S109).
- the turning end determination threshold Th2 is a value lower than the turning determination threshold Th1 described above. According to such a determination process, it is determined that the turn has ended with a delay from the point in time when the start determination condition (speed relative value> turn determination threshold Th1) is not satisfied.
- the shift suppression processing unit 10c executes the above-described suppression release process in which the shift suppression is canceled (S106).
- the control device 10 ends the current process and starts again from the process of S101.
- the turning determination unit 10b may determine whether or not the state in which the speed relative value is lower than the turning end determination threshold value Th2 has continued for a longer time than the predetermined time. Then, the turning determination unit 10b may determine that the turning has ended when the state continues for a predetermined time. Such a method can also delay the time point at which it is determined that the turn has ended. As a result, when the vehicle returns from turning to straight ahead, it is possible to suppress an upshift and to improve acceleration. Further, by making the predetermined time longer, it is possible to continue to determine that the vehicle is turning even after leaving the curved road. As a result, even if there is a short straight road between the curved road, the shift control can be suppressed without interruption.

- a relative speed value between the rotational speed of the front wheel 2F and the rotational speed of the rear wheel 2R calculated using the sensors 9a and 9b (here, ⁇ Sttl, for example, the above-described ⁇ r ⁇ k ⁇ ⁇ f or ⁇ r / (k ⁇ ⁇ f)) is a sum of a component (hereinafter, steering component ⁇ Ss) caused by the rotation of the steering 6 and a component (hereinafter, bank component) ⁇ Sb caused by the bank.
- the turning determination unit 10b calculates a bank angle based on the bank component ⁇ Sb. For example, a map that associates the bank component ⁇ Sb with the bank angle is stored in the storage unit 19, and the turning determination unit 10 b refers to this map and calculates the bank angle corresponding to the calculated bank component ⁇ Sb.
- the turning determination unit 10b determines whether or not the bank angle is larger than the threshold (S112).
- the shift suppression processing unit 10c executes the shift suppression process (S104). If the bank angle is smaller than the threshold value, the processes of S105 and S106 are executed.
- the shift suppression processing unit 10c described above executes the shift suppression process when it is determined that the vehicle is turning.
- the shift suppression processing unit 10c may further execute a shift suppression process in accordance with a passenger's brake operation. In this form, for example, the following processing is executed.
- the storage unit 19 stores a flag indicating that the brake is operated (hereinafter referred to as a brake flag) and a flag indicating that the vehicle is turning (hereinafter referred to as a turn flag). If any one of the flags is turned on (that is, if any one of the brake operation and the turning of the vehicle is performed), the shift suppression processing unit 10c performs the shift suppression processing. On the contrary, the shift suppression processing unit 10c executes the suppression release processing when both the brake flag and the turning flag are turned off.
- a brake flag a flag indicating that the brake is operated
- a turn flag a flag indicating that the vehicle is turning
- the brake flag may be returned to the off state when a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as a brake end delay time) has elapsed since the time when the brake operation is no longer detected.
- the turning flag may be returned to the off state when a state in which the speed relative value is smaller than the turning determination threshold value has elapsed for a predetermined time (hereinafter, turning end delay time).
- a brake end delay time a state in which the speed relative value is smaller than the turning determination threshold value has elapsed for a predetermined time.
- FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing functions of the control device 10 of this embodiment.
- the control device 10 further includes a brake determination unit 10g.
- FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the brake determination unit 10g. This process is also repeatedly executed while the vehicle is running.
- the brake determination unit 10g determines whether or not the brake operation is performed based on the output signal of the brake sensor 9d (S201).
- the brake determination unit 10g determines whether or not the brake flag is already on, that is, whether or not the brake operation has been performed in the previous process (S202). If the brake flag is already on, the brake determination unit 10g ends the current process as it is. On the other hand, when the brake flag is not in the on state in the determination in S202, the brake determination unit 10g switches the brake flag to the on state (S203).
- the shift suppression processing unit 10c described above executes shift suppression processing in response to switching of the brake flag to the on state.
- the brake determination unit 10g determines whether or not the brake flag is in the ON state, similarly to S202 (S204). Here, when the brake flag is in the OFF state, the brake determination unit 10g ends the current process as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in S204 that the brake flag is in the on state, it is determined whether or not the brake end delay time has elapsed since the end of the previous brake operation (S205). If the brake end delay time has not yet elapsed, the brake determination unit 10g ends the current process without changing the state of the brake flag. On the other hand, when the brake end delay time has already elapsed, the brake determination unit 10g switches the brake flag to the off state (S206). At this time, if the turning flag is also set to the off state, the shift suppression processing unit 10c executes a suppression release process.
- the process of the turning determination unit 10b is executed as follows, for example. That is, when the turning determination unit 10b determines that the vehicle is turning as a result of the process of S103 shown in FIG. 10, the turning flag is turned on. On the other hand, when it is determined that the vehicle is not turning as a result of the process of S103, the turning determination unit 10b checks whether or not the turning flag is in an on state. Here, when the turning flag is in the on state, the turning flag is switched to the off state when the turning end delay time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding turning.
- the shift control suppression function works as follows. Before entering the curved road, a brake operation is performed, the brake flag is turned on, and the above-described shift suppression process is executed. Even if the brake is released immediately after the vehicle is banked after the brake operation is performed, the brake flag remains on until the brake end delay time elapses, so the shift suppression process continues. When the vehicle enters the curve road and banks, the turning flag is turned on.
- the shift control is continuously suppressed. Further, as described above, the turning flag cannot be switched to the OFF state unless the turning end delay time has elapsed. Therefore, even if there is a short straight road between the two curved roads, the suppression of the shift control continues. After that, when the vehicle exits the second curved road and the turn end delay time has elapsed, the turn flag is switched to the off state. In addition, the brake is normally already released when taking off the curved road. Therefore, when the turn end delay time has elapsed, both the turn flag and the brake flag are turned off, the suppression release process is executed, and the shift by the shift control unit 10a is allowed.

That is, the speed relative value includes not only a component due to the bank of the vehicle but also a component due to acceleration of the vehicle (hereinafter, acceleration component). Therefore, the control device 10 may change the turning determination threshold according to the acceleration state of the vehicle in order to reduce the influence of the acceleration component when determining the turning.

That is, the slip determination threshold and the turn determination threshold are set so that the turn determination unit 10b determines that the vehicle is turning before the slip of the rear wheel 2R is detected. For example, when the relative speed value is used in the slip determination, a value lower than the slip determination threshold is set as the turning determination threshold. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the shift control from being executed before the traction control is started. As a result, while the engine torque is being reduced by the traction control, the driving force change caused by the shift does not occur, and the traction control can be performed stably.

As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the control device 10 further includes a coefficient update processing unit 10i. FIG. 23 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the coefficient update processing unit 10i.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i first determines whether or not the coefficient k needs to be updated. In this example, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether update is necessary in two stages. First, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the current coefficient k is appropriate (S401). For example, the time relative to the value in which the speed relative value indicates the straight traveling of the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the straight traveling display value, 0 or 1 in the above example) (that is, the time when it can be determined that the vehicle is traveling straight by the current coefficient k ( Hereinafter, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the estimated straight traveling time)) continues longer than a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as determination time). When the vehicle is traveling, the straight traveling time usually lasts longer than the turning time. Therefore, when the estimated straight traveling time continues longer than the determination time, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines that the current coefficient k is appropriate, and ends the current process.
- the straight traveling display value 0 or 1 in the above example
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the coefficient k should be updated (S402). That is, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the deviation of the coefficient k is caused by wear of the tires 2f and 2r. For example, in S402, the coefficient update processing unit 10i updates the coefficient k based on the time for which the speed relative value calculated using the current coefficient k maintains a constant value and the magnitude of the constant value. Determine whether or not.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the time during which the speed relative value calculated using the current coefficient k maintains a constant value lasts longer than a predetermined time. In S402, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the constant value is close to the straight display value, that is, whether or not the value is within a predetermined range.

If the next coefficient k1 is within the appropriate range, the coefficient update processing unit 10i rewrites the current coefficient k to the next coefficient k1 and stores it in the storage unit 19 (S405). Thereafter, the turning determination unit 10b described above calculates a speed relative value using the rewritten coefficient k, and determines whether or not the vehicle is turning.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i may perform the following processing. That is, in S401, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the minimum value of the speed relative value calculated during a predetermined time (hereinafter, update determination time (for example, 10 seconds)) matches the straight display value. judge. For example, when the speed relative value is ⁇ r / (k ⁇ ⁇ f), the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the minimum value of the speed relative value calculated during the update determination time is 1. When the speed relative value is ⁇ r ⁇ (k ⁇ ⁇ f), the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the minimum value of the speed relative value calculated during the update determination time is zero. If the minimum value matches the straight-ahead display value, the coefficient update processing unit 10i ends the process.
- update determination time for example, 10 seconds
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines in S402 whether or not the coefficient k should be updated, that is, whether or not a deviation due to wear or the like has occurred. Specifically, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines whether or not the minimum value is calculated when traveling straight ahead. When the minimum value is calculated during straight traveling, it can be determined that the coefficient k is deviated from the appropriate value. In this case, the coefficient update processing unit 10i calculates the next coefficient k1 using the rotation speeds ⁇ r and ⁇ f that are the basis of the minimum values (S403), and executes subsequent processes S404 and S405.

- the coefficient update processing unit 10i may determine whether the vehicle speed at the time when the minimum value is calculated is greater than a predetermined value. When the vehicle speed is greater than the predetermined value, the coefficient update processing unit 10i determines that the minimum value has been calculated during straight traveling. The vehicle travels on a curved road at a relatively low speed.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i may execute both the above-described determination regarding the steering angle and the above-described determination regarding the vehicle speed.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i may determine that the minimum value is calculated during straight traveling when the steering angle is smaller than a predetermined value and the vehicle speed is larger than the predetermined value.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i may determine whether or not the brake operation has not been performed at the time when the minimum value is calculated, together with the determination regarding the steering angle and the vehicle speed. When the brake operation is not performed, the coefficient update processing unit 10i updates the coefficient k in S403 to S405.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i may determine whether or not the absolute value of acceleration at the time when the minimum value is calculated is smaller than a predetermined value, together with the determination regarding the steering angle and the vehicle speed. Then, when the absolute value of the acceleration is smaller than the predetermined value, the coefficient update processing unit 10i may update the coefficient k in S403 to S405.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i stores the driving state (steering angle, vehicle speed, presence / absence of brake operation, acceleration) used in the determination of S402 in the storage unit 19 in association with the speed relative value during the update determination time. To do.
- the driving state corresponding to the minimum value is read from the storage unit 19, and based on the read driving state, it is determined whether or not the timing at which the minimum value is obtained is during straight running.
- the process of S402 may be executed as follows. That is, the coefficient update processing unit 10i may determine whether or not the time during which the speed relative value is maintained at the above-described minimum value (minimum value maintaining time) is longer than a predetermined time. A straight run generally lasts longer than a turn. Therefore, when the minimum value maintaining time is longer than the predetermined time, the coefficient update processing unit 10i may determine that the minimum value is calculated during straight traveling, and update the coefficient k in S403 to S405.
- the coefficient update processing unit 10i first determines whether or not the vehicle is traveling straight ahead. This process can be performed using the steering angle and vehicle speed described above. At this time, as described above, it may be determined whether or not the brake operation is performed and whether or not the acceleration is smaller than a predetermined value. When the vehicle is traveling straight, the brake operation is not performed, and the absolute value of the acceleration is smaller than a predetermined value, the coefficient update processing unit 10i calculates the speed relative value during the straight traveling. Then, it is determined whether or not the obtained value matches a straight-ahead display value (for example, 0 or 1). If the value does not match the straight display value, the coefficient update processing unit 10i updates the coefficient k.
- a straight-ahead display value for example, 0 or 1).

Abstract
Description
ΔRf=Cf(1-cosθ)
ΔRr=Cr(1-cosθ)
後タイヤ2rの曲率半径Cfが、前タイヤ2fの曲率半径Cfよりも大きいので、ΔRrがΔRfよりも大きくなる。また、バンク角θが大きくなるに従って、減少幅ΔRf,ΔRrは大きくなる。さらに、バンク角θが大きくなるに従って、減少幅の差(ΔRr-ΔRf)も大きくなる。
ωr-ωf=0
ここで、ωfは前輪センサ9aによって検知できる前輪2Fの回転速度であり、ωrは後輪センサ9bによって検知できる後輪2Rの回転速度である。
ωr1=R×ωr/(R-Cr(1-cosθ))
ωf1=R×ωf/(R-Cf(1-cosθ))
ここで、ωf1は車両がバンクしているときの前輪2Fの回転速度である。ωr1は車両がバンクしているときの後輪2Rの回転速度である。これらの式で示されるように、バンク時の後輪2Rの回転速度ωr1とバンク時の前輪2Fの回転速度ωf1は、直進時の回転速度ωr,ωfよりもそれぞれ高くなる。また、回転速度ωr1,ωf1は、バンク角θが大きくなるに従って高くなる。
ωr-ωf=Δω>0
Δωはバンク角に応じて大きくなる。
ωr×Rr-ωf×Rf=0
ここで、ωr×Rrが後輪速度であり、ωf×Rfが前輪速度である。
バンク時には次の関係が成り立つ。
ωr×Rr-ωf×Rf>0
そして、この差はバンク角が大きくなるに従って増大する。すなわち、タイヤ2f,2rの半径Rf,Rrが同じ場合と相違する場合のいずれにおいても、車両のバンクを検知できる。
k=Rf/Rrとなる。
速度相対値=ωr×Rr-ωf×Rf
以上説明した旋回判定部10bの処理においては、旋回の開始判定と旋回の終了判定とに同じ条件が利用されていた。しかしながら、旋回判定部10bは、旋回の開始判定と旋回の終了判定とに異なる条件を利用してもよい。そして、旋回の終了判定で用いられる条件は、旋回の開始判定で用いられる条件が満たされなくなった時点から遅れて充足されるように規定されてもよい。すなわち、開始判定の条件と終了判定の条件とにヒステリシスが設けられてもよい。
上述の旋回判定部10bは、後輪2Rの回転速度の相対的な大きさを示す値(すなわち速度相対値)が旋回判定閾値より高いか否かを判定していた。しかしながら、旋回判定部10bは、操舵角センサ9cによって検知される操舵角と、前輪2Fの回転速度と、後輪2Rの回転速度とに基づいて車両のバンク角を推定してもよい。そして、その推定されたバンク角が閾値よりも大きいことを条件として、旋回判定部10bは車両が旋回していると判断してもよい。
以上説明した変速抑制処理部10cは、車両が旋回していると判断された時に、変速抑制処理を実行していた。変速抑制処理部10cは、さらに搭乗者のブレーキ操作に応じて、変速抑制処理を実行してもよい。この形態では、例えば次の処理が実行される。
車両の走行時には、後輪2Rの回転速度と前輪2Fの回転速度とに、車両の加速に起因する差が生じる。例えば加速時には、後タイヤ2rが地面に対して滑っていない場合であっても、地面との摩擦に起因して後タイヤ2rが僅かに変形する。その結果、後輪2Rの回転速度が前輪2Fの回転速度に比べて上昇する。図17は、ある車速で直進する場合における速度相対値(ωr-k×ωf)と、車両の加速度との関係を概略的に示すグラフである。横軸が速度相対値であり、縦軸が加速度である。同図に示すように、速度相対値は概ね加速度に比例した値となる。また、加速度が正の値の場合には速度相対値は正の値となる。すなわち、加速度が正の値の場合には、後輪2Rの回転速度が前輪2Fの回転速度よりも高くなる。一方、加速度が負の場合(すなわち減速時)には、速度相対値も負の値となる。すなわち、後輪2Rの回転速度が前輪2Fの回転速度よりも低くなる。なお、後輪2Rがスリップした場合には、さらに速度相対値が高くなる。この場合には速度相対値の上昇に伴って加速度は徐々に小さくなる。
本発明はトラクション制御を実行する自動二輪車に適用されてもよい。図20はこの形態における制御装置10の機能を示すブロック図である。
制御装置10は旋回判定部10bの処理で用いられる係数kを更新/修正する機能を有してもよい。係数kは、上述したように、前タイヤ2fの半径と後タイヤ2rの半径との差を補償するための係数である。しかしながら、前タイヤ2fの実際の半径と後タイヤ2rの実際の半径は、タイヤ2f,2rの摩耗によって変わる場合がある。その場合、車両が直進している場合であっても、速度相対値が直進を示す値を示さなくなる。例えば、速度相対値がωr-k×ωfである場合やωr/(k×ωf)である場合には、それらの値が直進時においても0又は1にならない。そこで、制御装置10は、そのような不具合を解消する機能を有してもよい。
