Abstract

The present invention obtains a rider-assistance system, a data structure, and a control method capable of improving safety of a straddle-type vehicle. In a rider-assistance system 1 , the data structure, and the control method according to the present invention, an execution section of the rider-assistance system 1 executes rider-assistance operation to assist with driving by a rider. Furthermore, a generation section of the rider-assistance system 1 generates travel guide information on a curved road by subjecting a data set, which includes turning travel information of each of plural straddle-type vehicles 10 on the curved road acquired by each of the vehicles, to statistical processing. Before the straddle-type vehicle 10 enters the curved road, the execution section executes the rider-assistance operation on the basis of the travel guide information that is generated by the generation section.

Claims (18)

1 . A rider-assistance system ( 1 ) for assisting a rider in driving a straddle-type vehicle ( 10 ), the rider-assistance system comprising:

an electronic controller ( 16 ) configured to execute a rider-assistance operation to assist with driving by the rider, and further configured to:

generate travel guide information on a curved road (R 2 ) by performing a process of extracting turning travel information based on a parameter from a dataset (D 1 ) including turning travel information on the curved road (R 2 ) acquired by each of plural straddle-type vehicles ( 10 ) on the curved road (R 2 ) and/or weighting the dataset (D 1 ) on the basis of the parameter, wherein

before the straddle-type vehicle ( 10 ) enters the curved road (R 2 ), the electronic controller ( 16 ) executes the rider-assistance operation based on the travel guide information that is generated by the electronic controller ( 16 ), wherein the parameter includes newness/oldness degree information of the turning travel information, and the travel guide information includes information on a swept path.

2 . The rider-assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein

the parameter includes environment information.

3 . The rider-assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein

the parameter includes vehicle information.

4 . The rider-assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein

the travel guide information includes information on a vehicle speed.

5 . The rider-assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein

the travel guide information includes information on a body lean angle.

6 . The rider-assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein

the rider-assistance operation is operation to inform the rider of the travel guide information.

7 . A control method for a rider-assistance system ( 1 ) that assists with driving by a rider of a straddle-type vehicle ( 10 ), the control method comprising:

executing, via an electronic controller ( 16 ), a rider-assistance operation to assist with driving by the rider, and further comprising:

generating, via the electronic controller ( 16 ), travel guide information on a curved road (R 2 ) by performing a process of extracting turning travel information based on a parameter from a dataset (D 1 ) including turning travel information on the curved road (R 2 ) acquired by each of plural straddle-type vehicles ( 10 ) on the curved road (R 2 ) and/or weighting the dataset (D 1 ) on the basis of the parameter, wherein

before the straddle-type vehicle ( 10 ) enters the curved road (R 2 ), the electronic controller ( 16 ) executes the rider-assistance operation based on the travel guide information that is generated by the electronic controller ( 16 ), wherein the parameter includes newness/oldness degree information of the turning travel information, and the turning travel information includes information on a swept path.
