Motorcycle Assistance Control for Lane-Splitting Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Straddle-type vehicles, such as motorcycles, present unique driving challenges due to their size and maneuverability, which existing assistance systems struggle to adequately respond to, particularly in scenarios involving pass-through driving between lines of vehicles.
Innovation Solution
An assistance system with a control device equipped with surrounding environment detection devices that determines pass-through driving conditions and transmits trigger signals via wireless communication to execute driver assistance operations for both the straddle-type vehicle and other vehicles, adjusting assistance modes accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing assistance systems are used for straddle-type vehicles, then general driver assistance functions are provided, but the systems cannot suitably respond to the driving particularity of straddle-type vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by implementing specific response strategies tailored to different driving scenarios involving straddle-type vehicles. The determination section identifies pass-through driving situations and applies specialized assistance operations for these specific conditions, rather than using generic assistance protocols for all situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts its assistance operations based on real-time detection of straddle-type vehicle movements. The execution section modifies assistance behavior according to the detected driving pattern, transitioning between different assistance modes as the straddle-type vehicle enters or exits pass-through situations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the control device transmits trigger signals to other-vehicle control devices, then driver assistance is improved for vehicles around the straddle-type vehicle, but communication operations and wireless communication requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing communication protocols and trigger signal formats for inter-vehicle communication. The control device is pre-configured with the necessary communication frameworks, allowing rapid activation of coordinated assistance operations when pass-through driving is detected, without requiring complex real-time negotiation.
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger signal acts as an intermediary mechanism between the straddle-type vehicle's control device and other vehicles' control devices. This standardized signal format enables coordinated assistance operations by mediating information exchange, allowing vehicles to understand and respond to pass-through situations without requiring complex direct communication protocols.

AI summary
The invention is to obtain an assistance system that is capable of responding to driving particularity of a straddle-type vehicle. In addition, the invention is to obtain a control method of such an assistance system. Surrounding environment information on a straddle-type vehicle (100) is acquired on the basis of the output of at least one surrounding environment detection device (11), presence or absence of pass-through driving of the straddle-type vehicle (100) between lines of vehicles is determined on the basis of the surrounding environment information, when it is determined that there is the pass-through driving between the lines of vehicles, a trigger signal is transmitted to an other-control device (120) from a control device (20) of the straddle-type vehicle (100) through wireless communication, and when the trigger signal is received, the other-control device (120) executes an other-vehicle driver assistance operation of assisting a driver of an other-vehicle (200) positioned around the straddle-type vehicle (100).
