Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motorcycle, and more particularly to a motorcycle equipped with an antenna that performs road-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
- ITS Intelligent Transport System
- ASV Advanced Safety Vehicle
- IT Information Technology
- an antenna is disposed in front of a vehicle in order to communicate with a vehicle in front or a roadside machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- an omnidirectional antenna is arranged in front of an inclined line connecting the center of the bar handle and the axle of the front wheel. This prevents the influence of radio wave absorption by the passenger's body and prevents the electric field strength in the vertical and horizontal directions from decreasing.
- the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. That is, the conventional motorcycle has a problem that it is disadvantageous for communication with another vehicle located behind the vehicle-to-vehicle communication that is communication between the own vehicle and the other vehicle.
- the antenna is disposed on the headlight ahead of the occupant, the influence of radio wave absorption by the occupant is reduced, but the influence of the absorption and reflection of the occupant cannot be eliminated.
- the influence of the attenuation and reflection of radio waves becomes large.
- the communication distance is further reduced due to the absorption and reflection of radio waves corresponding to the material of the load.
- FIG. 16 shows a radio wave radiation pattern Ep6 in such a state. In the radiation pattern Ep6, the rear radio wave intensity is reduced.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can preferably perform communication with a side vehicle and a roadside machine, and also perform inter-vehicle communication with a vehicle in the front-rear direction.
- An object is to provide a motorcycle that can be used.
- the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the present invention provides a vehicle body frame having a main frame on which a metal structure is mounted and a seat frame disposed rearward of the main frame, and a first frame provided outward in the vehicle width direction from the main frame. An antenna, and a second antenna disposed opposite to the first antenna with at least the metal structure sandwiched between the main frame and the metal structure, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are used.
- the motorcycle performs road-to-vehicle communication with a roadside machine and vehicle-to-vehicle communication with other vehicles.
- the first antenna and the second antenna are respectively disposed outside the main frame with the metal structure or the metal structure and the main frame interposed therebetween.
- the radio wave traveling from the first antenna to the second antenna is reflected by the main frame or the metal structure mounted on the main frame.
- the radio wave traveling from the second antenna to the first antenna is also reflected.
- radio waves radiated from the first antenna and the second antenna are not simultaneously received in the lateral direction and the oblique direction of the vehicle, and radio wave interference can be eliminated.
- the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged to face each other with the metal structure interposed therebetween, the distance difference between the first antenna and the second antenna from the reception point of the radio wave traveling in the front-rear direction is reduced. As a result, the radio waves from both antennas reach the reception point in almost the same phase, so that the fluctuation of the electric field strength is slight. Therefore, road-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-vehicle communication in the vehicle front-rear direction, the lateral direction, and the diagonal direction can be performed satisfactorily.
- the first antenna and the second antenna are preferably linear antennas.
- a linear antenna By using a linear antenna, road-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-vehicle communication can be implemented at low cost.
- the first antenna and the second antenna have directivity in the front-rear direction. Thereby, communication with the other vehicle in the front-rear direction separated by a longer distance than communication with the other vehicle on the side can be performed.
- the linear antenna is a brown antenna having a ground portion that is longer in the front-rear direction than the vehicle width direction and a linear portion that is a radiation conductor, and the length of the ground portion in the front-rear direction is the length of the linear portion. Longer than the length is preferred. With this configuration, an antenna having directivity in the front-rear direction can be realized using an inexpensive linear antenna.
- the main frame may include a front frame disposed in front of the head pipe. If a metal structure that reflects radio waves is installed within the range surrounded by the front frame, the area for receiving both radio waves from the first antenna and the second antenna is only in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. In addition, since the first antenna and the second antenna can be arranged in front of the head pipe, the degree of freedom of antenna arrangement can be increased.
- the metal structure is preferably an engine unit.
- the main frame may include a reinforcing plate that reinforces rigidity, and the metal structure may be a reinforcing plate.
- the metal structure may be a metal auxiliary machine.
- the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged so as not to overlap with a foot of a passenger in a running posture in a side view. Since the first antenna and the second antenna do not overlap with the feet of the passenger in the running posture in a side view, radio waves emitted from the first antenna and the second antenna can be prevented from being absorbed by the passenger's feet.
- the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged between a cover that covers at least a part of the main frame and the main frame. Therefore, since the cover is attached after the first antenna and the second antenna are assembled, the efficiency of the assembling work can be improved.
- the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged at the same height in a side view. Since the heights of the first antenna and the second antenna are equal, the distance difference between the reception point and the antenna in the front-rear direction can be further reduced. Thereby, favorable communication can be implemented.
- the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged so as to overlap the main frame or the engine in a side view.
- the radio waves propagating from the respective antennas toward the vehicle center are reflected by the main frame or the engine, and only the radio waves radiated from either the first or second antenna are received in the lateral direction and the oblique direction. Therefore, the intensity change of the radio wave due to interference can be eliminated.
- communication with a side vehicle and a roadside machine can be suitably performed, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication with a vehicle in the front-rear direction can also be suitably performed.

Abstract
Description
すなわち、従来の自動二輪車は、自車と他車との間の通信である車車間通信のうち、後方に位置する他車との通信には不利であるという問題がある。アンテナを搭乗者よりも前方のヘッドライト上に配置することで搭乗者による電波吸収の影響を低減させているとはいえ、搭乗者の吸収や反射の影響を無くすことはできない。また、二人乗りしている場合や、自動二輪車のタンデムシート後方に荷物を積載している場合は、電波の減衰や反射の影響が大きくなる。特に荷物を積載している場合、荷物の材質に相応した電波の吸収や反射も加わってより通信距離が短くなる。このような状態の電波の放射パターンEp6を図16に示す。放射パターンEp6では、後方の電波強度が低下している。
すなわち、本発明は、金属構造物が搭載されるメインフレームと前記メインフレームよりも後方に配置されるシートフレームとを有する車体フレームと、前記メインフレームより車幅方向外方に設けられた第1アンテナと、前記メインフレームと前記金属構造物のうち少なくとも前記金属構造物を挟んで前記第1アンテナと対向して配置される第2アンテナとを備え、前記第1アンテナおよび前記第2アンテナを用いて、路側機との路車間通信および他の車両との車車間通信を行う自動二輪車である。
図1および図2を参照する。図1は、実施例1に係る自動二輪車1の概略構成を示す側面図である。図2は自動二輪車1の概略構成を示す平面図である。自動二輪車1はいわゆるアンダーボーン型の車体フレーム2を備える。車体フレーム2はメインフレーム3とシートフレーム4とを備える。メインフレーム3は、ヘッドパイプ5と、フレーム本体6と、前フレーム7とから構成される。なお、自動二輪車1の種類によっては、メインフレーム3は前フレーム7を備えなくてもよい。車体フレーム2は車体カバー14に覆われている。
次に図3および図4を参照して自動二輪車1に備えられたアンテナの構成を説明する。図3および図4は、アンテナの構成を示す説明図である。
次に、従来のアンテナ特性および実施例1におけるアンテナ特性を説明する。図6は自動二輪車に理想のアンテナ特性図である。自動二輪車1において横方向の他の車両との車車間通信は、道路幅よりも少し長い距離を通信する程度である。しかしながら、前後方向の他の車両との車車間通信または、路側機との路車間通信の場合、他の車両との距離が長くなり、通信距離が長くなる傾向がある。そこで、道路を走行する自動二輪車1のアンテナ特性は、図6に示すように、幅方向よりも前後方向に長い放射パターンEp1が好ましい。
