A method and a system for decelerating a single-track motor vehicle, includes using a control unit to determine a total torque of a wheel of the motor vehicle required for a desired riding maneuver, in particular a controlled slip of a rear wheel, determine, a braking partial torque and a motor partial torque as a function of the total torque required, and generate the braking partial torque on the wheel by controlling a brake system of the motor vehicle and generating the motor partial torque on the wheel by controlling a motor of the motor vehicle The invention further includes a single-track motor vehicle configured to execute the decelerating method.

A brake system may include an actuating device, in particular a brake pedal; a first piston-cylinder unit having two pistons subjecting the brake circuits to a pressure medium via a valve device, wherein one of the pistons can be actuated by the actuation device; a second piston-cylinder unit having an electric motor drive, a transmission at least one piston to supply at least one of the brake circuits with a pressure medium via a valve device; and a motor pump unit with a valve device to supply the brake circuits with a pressure medium. The brake system may also include a hydraulic travel simulator with a pressure or working chamber which is connected to the first piston-cylinder unit.

A method is provided for decelerating a vehicle. The vehicle has an electro-pneumatic brake system, at least one front axle, at least one rear axle, and a brake value transmitter. The vehicle further includes at least one axle modulator for the front axle of the vehicle, for performing control of at least one front axle brake pressure at the at least one front axle, and/or at least one axle modulator for the rear axle of the vehicle, for performing control of a rear axle brake pressure at the at least one rear axle of the vehicle. The method includes generating a redundancy signal at a first axle, the front axle or rear axle, or at a trailer control valve, and performing open-loop and/or closed-loop control of an auxiliary brake pressure at another axle, the front axle or the rear axle, via the redundancy signal.

An object of the present invention is to provide a control apparatus for an electric vehicle capable of preventing the vehicle from being destabilized because a rear wheel is locked first or drivability from reducing because a front wheel is locked early. A control apparatus includes a regenerative braking force calculation portion configured to calculate a regenerative braking force to be generated on each of a front motor and a rear motor based on a request braking force requested to an electric vehicle, a power limit portion configured to reduce the regenerative braking force based on a power limit on a power source, and a frictional braking force output portion configured to output an instruction for generating a frictional braking force according to a regenerative braking force reduction amount, which is an amount of a reduction in the regenerative braking force by the power limit portion, to a brake apparatus.

The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of hastening identification of an object or an event to be focused by a rider of a straddle-type vehicle, the rider having perceived haptic motion.

A controller (51) for a rider-assistance system (50) mounted to a straddle-type vehicle (100) includes: a determination section that determines necessity of a warning given to the rider; and a haptic motion performing section that performs haptic motion at least once to reduce or increase acceleration/deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle (100) only for a moment. The haptic motion performing section changes a priority of each wheel (3, 4) at the time of changing a braking force to reduce or increase the acceleration/deceleration only for the moment in the haptic motion according to a focusing direction that is a direction in which the rider should focus by the warning.
