A drive assistance device (24) for a saddle type vehicle (1) includes a ride sensor (37) configured to detect a ride attitude of a rider (J), a vehicle body behavior generating part (25) configured to generate a behavior on a vehicle body by a prescribed output, and a controller (27) configured to control driving of the vehicle body behavior generating part (25), the vehicle body behavior generating part (25) includes a brake device (BR) configured to brake a host vehicle, and wherein, when the brake device (BR) is actuated regardless of an operation of the rider (J), the controller (27) actuates the brake device (BR) according to the ride attitude of the rider (J) detected by the ride sensor (37).

The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a user-specific configuration of a braking device of a motor vehicle, the method including detecting measurement data using a detector and providing a data record to an evaluation circuitry. Based on the measurement data and data record, a user-specific braking profile is determined. Furthermore, a selected braking profile that has the greatest degree of conformity with the user-specific braking profile is identified from a plurality of braking profiles. A corresponding configuration associated with the selected braking profile is identified as the suitable user-specific configuration. A changeover operation is triggered in order to provide the user-specific configuration in the motor vehicle.

A method of controlling an electric vehicle includes operating the vehicle in accordance with a current pedal map. A plurality of alternative pedal maps is defined. A variance for each of the plurality of alternative pedal maps is determined. Operation of the vehicle is switched from the current pedal map to one of the alternative pedal maps based on the determined variance.

Disclosed herein is a method and system for detecting, monitoring and/or controlling one or more of mobile services for a mobile communication device (also referred to herein as a Controllable Mobile Device or CMD), and in particular, when the device is being used and the vehicle, operated by the user of the device, is moving. In addition, one aspect of the invention generally relates to a method and system for modifying a user's driving behaviors, in particular to a system and method for modifying a user's unsafe driving behaviors, e.g., using one or more services of a controllable mobile device while driving, by providing a score to the user rating indicating that they are using a mobile device in a distracting way, or driving in a manner that indicates that they are distracted.

An advance driver brake customizing method applied to a brake customizing system is provided to identically implement a braking feeling set according to a driver's vehicle regardless of a vehicle type by transplanting driver braking feeling information of a driver's vehicle into a braking feeling matching vehicle. A braking characteristic of a brake of a brake system, which is applied to the braking feeling matching vehicle, is directed to follow the braking characteristic of a brake of the brake system, which is applied to the braking feeling matching vehicle, through driver matching control in conjunction with a wireless network. In particular, even when the same driver changes a vehicle or a driver for the same vehicle is changed, the same braking feeling is maintained.

A drive assistance device includes an automatic brake unit configured to perform automatic brake control, a brake hold unit configured to perform a brake hold control keeping the vehicle stopped, a brake hold cancel unit configured to cancel the brake hold control when it is determined that a predetermined cancel condition is satisfied, a surroundings information obtaining unit configured to obtain surroundings information indicating a situation around the vehicle, a maneuver information obtaining unit configured to obtain maneuver information about a driving maneuver performed by a driver of the vehicle, a maneuver determination unit configured to determine, based on the surroundings information and the maneuver information whether the driving maneuver performed during the brake hold control is appropriate for the situation around the vehicle, and a prohibition unit configured to prohibit cancelling the brake hold control as long as it is determined that the driving maneuver is inappropriate.

Among other things, a vehicle having autonomous driving capabilities is operated in a mixed driving mode.

Methods of assessing driver behavior include monitoring vehicle systems and driver monitoring systems to accommodate for a driver's slow reaction time, attention lapse and/or alertness. When it is determined that a driver is drowsy, for example, the response system may modify the operation of one or more vehicle systems. The systems that may be modified include: visual devices, audio devices, tactile devices, antilock brake systems, automatic brake prefill systems, brake assist systems, auto cruise control systems, electronic stability control systems, collision warning systems, lane keep assist systems, blind spot indicator systems, electronic pretensioning systems and climate control systems.
