A controller and a control method to a vehicle, the controller and the control method executing brake control in which primary information is selectively supplemented by secondary information that is information on an assumed state related to connection and disconnection of a clutch. The controller includes a determination section that determines whether an actual state and the assumed state, which are related to the connection and the disconnection of the clutch, match each other in accordance with a temporal change in the secondary information; and a brake control section that executes the brake control by using the primary information but not the secondary information in the case where the determination section determines that the actual state and the assumed state do not match each other.

Controller and control method

The invention has a purpose of improving applicability of a controller and a control method to a vehicle, the controller and the control method executing brake control in which primary information is selectively supplemented by secondary information that is information on an assumed state related to connection and disconnection of a clutch. A determination sectionAand a brake control sectionAare provided, the determination sectionAdetermining whether an actual state related to the connection and the disconnection of the clutch matches the assumed state in accordance with a relationship between the secondary information and travel state information indicative of a travel state of the vehicle, and the brake control sectionAexecuting the brake control by using the primary information but not the secondary information in the case where the determination sectionAdetermines that the actual state does not match the assumed state.

Control device and control method

There is provided a configuration, including a storage unit that stores a theoretical driving wheel rotating speed based on a correspondence relationship with a predetermined engine speed in each gear stage of a transmission of a vehicle; gear stage detection means for detecting the gear stage when currently travelling; engine speed detection means for detecting an engine speed; driving wheel rotating speed detection means for detecting a driving wheel rotating speed; and torque control means for controlling output torque, in which the output torque is increased so that a current driving wheel rotating speed becomes close to the theoretical driving wheel rotating speed when a relative value of a calculated value which is calculated by using the detected driving wheel rotating speed with respect to a calculated value which is calculated by using the theoretical driving wheel rotating speed is equal to or greater than a first threshold value.

Vehicular torque control device and torque control method

To suppress occurrence of a wheelie of a motorcycle. A torque control apparatus includes a the detection unit that detects a state in which the front wheel of the motorcycle is likely to be lifted up based on at least one of engine information of the motorcycle, accelerator operation information of the driver of the motorcycle, and information of the vehicle body or wheel of the motorcycle. The torque control apparatus further includes an output unit that, when the detection unit detects the state in which the front wheel is likely to be lifted up, outputs a torque smaller than a request torque of the driver as a request torque for an the engine of the motorcycle or outputs the difference between the request torque of the driver and a torque smaller than the request torque of the driver as a brake torque.
