A system and method for the driving mode-dependent setting of vehicle properties of a motorized two-wheeled vehicle. The system includes a first detection unit designed to detect a manually selected driving mode, a second detection unit designed to detect an active at least assisted driving operating mode, in particular active automated longitudinal control of the two-wheeled vehicle, and a control unit designed to, based on the selected driving mode, select vehicle property settings that are defined depending on the detected driving operating mode.

An emergency braking system of a single-track vehicle configured to intervene in a braking process of the single-track vehicle includes a plurality of sensors that determine various physical variables. From the physical variables an accident risk actual value is determined, compared with an accident risk target value using an emergency braking system control unit, and if the accident risk actual value exceeds the accident risk target value, the single-track vehicle's brake is actuated by the emergency braking system control unit.

A method for controlling a recuperation device that converts kinetic energy into electric energy in a vehicle is provided. The method includes the acts of actuating at least one actuation element for generating a braking action, at least briefly arranging the actuated actuation element in at least one predefined first trigger position, and activating the recuperation device in a defined functional scope in response to the brief arrangement of the actuated actuation element in the at least one predefined first trigger position.

To further improve, in a brake control method and device for a two-wheeled motor vehicle that utilizes a wheel cylinder pressure as a parameter for predicting the potential for lifting of a rear wheel, the accuracy of predicting lifting of the rear wheel. A brake control method of the present invention comprises the steps of inputting a signal of an input sensor (step); detecting a front wheel cylinder pressure (step); detecting an amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure (step); determining whether or not the front wheel cylinder pressure and the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that have been detected correspond to a brake condition where lifting of a rear wheel can occur (step); and, when it is determined that the front wheel cylinder pressure and the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that have been detected correspond to the brake condition, reducing a pressure amplification gradient of the front wheel cylinder pressure.

To enable, with respect to a vehicle whose vehicle body is easily lifted to a relatively large extent even in a relatively early stage when rear wheel lifting is detected, more rapid and reliable securement of the safety of the vehicle body with respect to that rear wheel lifting. When lifting of a rear wheel is detected, in contrast to what has conventionally been the case, pressure reduction of brake pressure of a front wheel is immediately started (S, S) regardless of whether or not there is occurrence of skidding of the front wheel, a stepwise reduction of brake pressure is performed while lifting of the rear wheel is being detected, and when the integrated amount of that amount of pressure reduction reaches a predetermined value, pressure reduction is ended even in a state where rear wheel lifting is being detected.

Two-wheeled motor vehicle brake control method and system

To predictively determine the occurrence of rear wheel lifting before actual lifting of a rear wheel occurs and enable control of brake force. Vehicle body deceleration is computed on the basis of wheel velocities obtained by wheel velocity sensorsand(S), and when it is determined that that computed value exceeds a predetermined value K(S), then the pressure of a front wheel cylinderis reduced by a predetermined pressure and held at that reduced pressure (S), and when it is determined that vehicle body deceleration has fallen below a value that is, for example, lower by a predetermined value &#x3b1; than the predetermined value K(S), then the state of holding of the pressure of the front wheel cylinderis released (S) and brake control returns to normal brake control.

Brake control method and system

In an integral brake system having antilock braking and including at least one brake actuating element, one front wheel brake, and one rear wheel brake, the antilock braking may optionally be selectively deactivated for the front wheel brake.
