A braking system for vehicles may have a pilot pump fluidically connected to a hydraulic actuator device. The hydraulic actuator device has a by-pass, configured to connect or disconnect fluidically a first actuation chamber and a delivery duct, where a movable septum is connected to a motor device. The movable septum places the first actuation chamber in communication with the by-pass and with a second actuation chamber, to a braking correction condition. The motor device is activated to translate the movable septum so that the first actuation chamber is fluidically separated from the by-pass and from the second actuation chamber. The second actuation chamber, fluidically connected to the delivery duct, controls the actuation of the braking device, excluding the action imposed by the user through the fluid under pressure in the first actuation chamber.

An emergency braking system of a single-track vehicle configured to intervene in a braking process of the single-track vehicle includes a plurality of sensors that determine various physical variables. From the physical variables an accident risk actual value is determined, compared with an accident risk target value using an emergency braking system control unit, and if the accident risk actual value exceeds the accident risk target value, the single-track vehicle's brake is actuated by the emergency braking system control unit.

Left target information and right target information are acquired on the basis of output of at least one surrounding environment detector (11c, 11d). The left target information is information on a target (T1) located on a left side of a travel line (DL) of a straddle-type vehicle (100). The right target information is information on a target (T2) located on a right side of the travel line (DL). A travel state of the straddle-type vehicle (100) is analyzed on the basis of at least one of the left target information and the right target information, and rider-assistance operation corresponding to an analysis result thereof is executed.

A controller (60) and the control method according to the present invention control operation of a straddle-type vehicle (100) in which anti-lock brake control for a front wheel (3) and anti-lock brake control for a rear wheel (4) are executed. An acquisition section of the controller (60) acquires an anti-lock brake actuation state showing whether the anti-lock brake control is actuated for any of the wheels (3, 4). A determination section of the controller (60) determines a threshold value on the basis of the anti-lock brake actuation state. An output section of the controller (60) outputs an emergency braking signal command in the case where deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle (100) is higher than the threshold value.

In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, during the cruise control, in which acceleration/deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle is automatically controlled without relying on an accelerating/decelerating operation by a driver, a vehicle speed of the straddle-type vehicle is restricted to be equal to or lower than an upper limit speed at the time of turning, an exit of a curved road is detected on the basis of a predicted route of the straddle-type vehicle, and a magnitude of the deceleration of the decelerated straddle-type vehicle is reduced at a time point before the straddle-type vehicle reaches the exit.

A method for carrying out an autonomous brake application in a two-wheel motor vehicle. In the method, the need for a vehicle deceleration is detected with the aid of a surroundings sensor system; depending thereon, a driver-independent vehicle deceleration is initiated; once the vehicle deceleration has been initiated, a driver readiness variable characterizing the readiness of the driver to control the vehicle deceleration maneuver is ascertained; and the temporal progression of the vehicle deceleration is continued depending on the driver readiness variable.
