BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE HAVING HAND AND FOOT BRAKE LEVERS
A vehicle has a frame, a straddle seat, front right and left wheels, a rear wheel, a steering assembly, a motor, front right and left brakes, a rear brake, and an electronic brake control unit. The electronic brake control unit has a pump, a valve box, a first pressure sensor disposed in the valve box and an electronic controller. The electronic controller is electronically connected to the pump, and valves of the valve box for controlling their operation. A hand brake lever actuates a first master cylinder and thereby actuates the front brakes through the valve box. A foot brake lever actuates a second master cylinder and thereby actuates the rear brake through the valve box. A second pressure sensor is disposed externally of the valve box. The first and second pressure sensors sensing fluid pressure applied by the first and second master cylinders respectively.
Electronic 4WD system having reinforced ABS cooperative control performance and method of controlling same
The present invention relates to an electronic 4WD system having reinforced ABS cooperative control performance, in which an ABS ACT signal by an ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) controller and a 4WD_OPEN signal by the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) controller are used. When the ABS ACT signal and the 4WD_OPEN signal are recognized, it is determined that it is an ESC vehicle and a 4WD mode is stopped. When only the ABS ACT signal is recognized, it is determined that it is an ABS vehicle and the intention of a user is determined on the basis of whether a brake pedal has been pressed down or an accelerator pedal has been released, and then a 4WD mode is stopped.
Systems and methods for operating an all-terrain vehicle
An all-terrain vehicle may include a frame and a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame. The all-terrain vehicle may further include a powertrain assembly supported by the frame and shiftable transmission supported by the frame and operably coupled to the powertrain assembly. The all-terrain vehicle may also include a display, a back-up camera, and a controller supported by the frame. The controller may be configured to receive a signal from the shiftable transmission corresponding to the shiftable transmission being in a gear of the plurality of gears other than a reverse gear. Further, the controller may be configured to determine the all-terrain vehicle is moving backwards and send an activation signal to the back-up camera to display images of the back-up camera on the display.
Braking control device for vehicle
A braking control device includes: a wheel deceleration deriving section that derives decrease rates of wheel speed detection values as wheel deceleration calculation values; an average value deriving section that derives an average value of the wheel deceleration calculation values of wheels FL, FR, RL, and RR as a wheel deceleration average value; a determination section that determines, based on the wheel deceleration average value and an anteroposterior deceleration detection value, whether or not a slip increase state has been occurring for a determination time or longer; and a detection section that detects occurrence of cascade lock when it is determined that the slip increase state has been occurring for the determination time or longer during vehicle braking.
