Abstract
The present invention obtains a control device and a control method with which the operability of a brake operation can be improved. A control device (20) and a control method according to the present invention are for controlling the behavior of a saddle-type vehicle comprising a brake-by-wire braking device (12), which is not connected to a brake operation unit (31) via a brake fluid flow path and which applies a braking force to wheels (2, 3). An execution unit of the control device (20) executes a braking force control function to control the braking device (12) such that a braking force determined according to an index indicating the degree of input provided to the brake operation unit (31) in a brake operation using the brake operation unit (31) is applied to the wheels (2, 3). The execution unit executes a characteristics adjustment function to adjust the characteristics of the braking force with respect to the index in the braking force control function.
