  • the IMU 49 for detecting that the vehicle is in the uphill condition is further provided, and the ECU 60 calculates the hydraulic pressure required to maintain the stopped position based on the detection result of the IMU 49. , Has the following effects.
  • the oil pressure required to maintain the stopped position can be accurately calculated by the calculation based on the detection result of the IMU49.
  • the ECU 60 has been described with reference to an example of switching from the actuator holding control to the valve holding control after a lapse of a predetermined time after detecting that the vehicle is in an uphill condition, but the present invention is not limited to this.
  • the ECU 60 may switch from the actuator holding control to the valve holding control after a lapse of a predetermined time after detecting that the vehicle is in a vehicle body condition other than an uphill stop.
  • the ECU 60 when the ECU 60 detects that the vehicle is in an uphill condition, the ECU 60 gives an example of calculating the hydraulic pressure required to maintain the stopped position by the half-clutch according to the uphill condition. However, it is not limited to this. For example, when the ECU 60 detects that the vehicle is in an uphill condition, it does not have to calculate the hydraulic pressure required to maintain the stopped position.
  • the actuator holding control is switched to the valve holding control, but the present invention is not limited to this.
  • the ECU 60 may continue the actuator holding control after detecting the start of the vehicle.
  • the IMU49 for detecting that the vehicle is in the uphill condition has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this.
  • the vehicle may not be equipped with the IMU49.
  • the ECU 60 has been described with an example of calculating the hydraulic pressure required to maintain the stop position based on the detection result of the IMU49, but the present invention is not limited to this.
  • the ECU 60 may calculate the hydraulic pressure required to maintain the stop position based on parameters other than the detection result of the IMU 49.
  • the saddle-riding vehicle includes a general vehicle in which a driver straddles a vehicle body, and is a motorcycle (motorized bicycle and scooter-type vehicle). (Including), but also three-wheeled vehicles (including front two-wheeled and rear one-wheeled vehicles in addition to front one-wheeled and rear two-wheeled vehicles).
  • the present invention can be applied not only to motorcycles but also to four-wheeled vehicles such as automobiles.
  • the configuration in the above embodiment is an example of the present invention, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention, such as replacing the components of the embodiment with well-known components.
