[0001] TITLE OF INVENTION

[0002] A SADDLE TYPE VEHICLE

[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004]

[0001] The present invention generally relates to a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to disposition of an electronic device in the vehicle.

[0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0006]

[0002] Typically, the saddle type vehicles (hereinafter “vehicles”) are easier to maneuver in traffic and congested areas. The vehicles provide good control with better operability in heavy, stop and go driving. Such vehicles are also lighter in weight as compared to corresponding vehicles like a four-wheeler. Generally, the vehicle comprising a body frame assembly is made of several tubes welded together. The vehicle has a steerable front wheel and a driven rear wheel. The body frame primarily includes a head pipe disposed at a front end of the body frame, the main tube running across the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and enclosed by several vehicle components, and a down tube.

[0007]

[0003] In recent times, customer attraction towards these vehicles is in increasing trend and the prospect for buying the vehicles is increasing as well. However, such vehicles must meet customer safety and convenience requirements such as leg room space, light weight, easy to handle, and the like. Among these requirements, the vehicle safety is one of the most important requirements as the customers are keen towards their safety while riding the vehicle. Apart from solid build of the vehicle, the customer safety lies with a human machine interface (HMI) provided in the vehicle as well.

[0008]

[0004] Hence, in order to provide increased safety requirements, the vehicle manufacturers typically tend to provide improved electronics HMI functional parts such as a radar, an Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) sensor, a hydraulic electrical control unit, and the like. It is a challenge for the designer to package these functional parts in the existing layout of the vehicle. Additionally, the efficient working of these functional parts is subject to various parameters such as an increased noise in the signal is observed when the IMU sensor is positioned near high voltage harness lines. Moreover, these functional parts require optimum temperature when positioned at a specific location. Importantly, the IMU sensor is configured to detect an accurate posture and motion of the vehicle. The IMU sensor helps in improving a vehicle stability and a rider safety by providing better cornering stability, ride comfort and traction control. Hence to solve the above-mentioned problems, there is a requirement for the vehicle manufacturers to efficiently package the functional parts.
