Method and device for influencing a steering element of a single-track motor vehicle independently of the rider
A method includes ascertaining that an emergency braking operation of a single-track motor vehicle is to be automatically executed driver independently, and based on the ascertainment, automatically and driver-independently influencing a steering element of the motor vehicle during the execution of the emergency braking operation.
1. A method, comprising:
ascertaining, by a processor, that an automatic and emergency braking operation of a single-track motor vehicle which is to be rider-independently executed; and
automatically and rider-independently influencing, by the processor, based on the ascertaining, a steering element of the single-track motor vehicle during execution of the emergency braking operation;
wherein the rider-independent emergency braking operation is triggered depending on signals of a forward looking surroundings sensor system, which looks forward in a direction of travel, and
wherein the steering element includes an active steering damper, and the influencing causes the active steering damper to have a stronger attenuation of handlebar wobbles, and
wherein the active steering damper is reconfigurable by the surroundings sensor system, or wherein the steering element includes a steering actuator for a rider-independent adjustment of a steering angle, and the influencing provides that the single-track motor vehicle continues to travel in a straight line.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the steering element includes the steering actuator for the rider-independent adjustment of the steering angle, and the influencing provides that the single-track motor vehicle continues to travel in the straight line.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the single-track motor vehicle includes a motorcycle.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein when it is determined whether an accident or a collision is imminent, an emergency braking operation is initiated and a steering element of the single-track motor vehicle is influenced independently of the rider, so as to keep the single-track motor vehicle under control during the emergency braking operation.
5. A system, comprising:
a processor of a single-track motor vehicle; and
a steering element of the single-track motor vehicle;
wherein the processor is configured to perform the following:
ascertaining that an automatic and emergency braking operation of a single-track motor vehicle which is to be rider-independently executed; and
automatically and rider-independently influencing, based on the ascertaining, a steering element of the single-track motor vehicle during execution of the emergency braking operation;
wherein the rider-independent emergency braking operation is triggered depending on signals of a forward looking surroundings sensor system, which looks forward in a direction of travel,
wherein the steering element includes an active steering damper, and the influencing causes the active steering damper to have a stronger attenuation of handlebar wobbles, and
wherein the active steering damper is reconfigurable by the surroundings sensor system, or wherein the steering element includes a steering actuator for a rider-independent adjustment of a steering angle, and the influencing provides that the single-track motor vehicle continues to travel in a straight line.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein when it is determined whether an accident or a collision is imminent, an emergency braking operation is initiated and a steering element of the single-track motor vehicle is influenced independently of the rider, so as to keep the single-track motor vehicle under control during the emergency braking operation.
