The first bicycle electric component includes one of a height adjustable seatpost and a suspension. The second bicycle electric component includes one of a gear transmission and the other of the height adjustable seatpost and the suspension.

A vehicle control device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a road surface condition in a traveling direction of a vehicle and occupant information on an occupant of the vehicle; an analysis unit configured to obtain an optimum vehicle characteristic based on the road surface condition and the occupant information such that a probability density distribution of changes in the road surface condition does not overlap a probability density distribution of changes in a vehicle characteristic; and a control unit configured to control the vehicle using the optimum vehicle characteristic obtained by the analysis unit.

This vehicle control device is provided with: a control unit for executing one-pedal control, that is, the control for accelerating a vehicle when a single pedal is depressed from a predetermined reference point of a pedal stroke, and for decelerating the vehicle when the pedal is released from the reference point; and a determination unit for determining whether or not a rate of change in a pedal operation amount when the pedal is released is equal to or greater than a first threshold value. The control unit performs control for increasing a braking force when the rate of change is equal to or greater than the first threshold value.

Control system, which is adapted for application in a vehicle and intended to recognize vehicles driving in front on the basis of environmental data which are obtained from at least one environmental sensor (110) disposed on the vehicle. The at least one environmental sensor (110) is adapted to provide an electronic controller (200) of the control system with the environmental data which reflect the area (115) in front of the vehicle. The control system is at least adapted and intended to detect another vehicle (alter) participating in traffic in front of the own vehicle (ego) with the at least one environmental sensor (110) during a predetermined time period or continuously and to recognize a position change of the other vehicle (alter). If a position change of the other vehicle (alter) is recognized, a signal (255) is output, which is suitable to warn a driver of the own vehicle (ego) of an irregularity in the road surface and/or to adjust a speed and/or a vehicle setting of the own vehicle (ego).

A method is provided to control a power steering device and an adaptive damping system of a motor vehicle. The power steering device makes available a mechanical steering angle range that is limited by steering stops. The adaptive damping system makes available a variable damping force. The damping force of the adaptive damping system is increased and a maximum achievable steering angle is simultaneously increased in case a steering stop is reached.

The present invention obtains a control system and a control method capable of appropriately suppressing front lift-up of a straddle-type vehicle. In the control system and the control method according to the present invention, damping forces of suspensions and drive power generated to the straddle-type vehicle are controlled. The drive power adjustment control is executed to adjust the drive power generated to the straddle-type vehicle so as to suppress the front lift-up that causes a front wheel of the straddle-type vehicle to lift off from the ground, and initiation timing of the drive power adjustment control is controlled by using a physical quantity to which states of the suspensions are reflected.

A tire load calculation section of a controller calculates tire load factors of the respective wheels. A target tire load-factor calculation section calculates a tire load factor average value (.sub.ave) obtained by averaging the tire load factors (.sub.i) of the respective wheels as a target tire load factor. A target tire vertical-load calculation section calculates target tire vertical loads (Fzref.sub.i) for the respective wheels so that the tire load factors of the respective wheels become equal to the tire load factor average value. A vertical-load control section and a suspension control section control thrusts of electromagnetic dampers for the respective wheels so as to achieve the target tire vertical loads.

Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle including a friction control device are provided. A method of controlling the vehicle includes operating at least one friction control device in a first of a plurality of friction modes, detecting a vehicular speed, changing operation of the at least one friction control device from the first friction mode to a second of the plurality of friction modes in response to the vehicular speed exceeding a first threshold speed value, and changing operation of the at least one friction control device from the second friction mode to the first friction mode in response to the vehicular speed falling below a second threshold speed value that is less than the first threshold speed value. The second friction mode is associated with a higher level of resistance than the first friction mode.
