Provided is a vehicle control device capable of preventing a delay in driver's bank angle operation during traveling of a straddle type vehicle on a curve and enhancing safety of the vehicle. The vehicle control device 100 is a device that is mounted on a two-wheeled motor vehicle and controls the vehicle to travel while following a preceding vehicle. The vehicle control device 100 includes a curvature acquisition unit 110 that acquires a curvature of a road in front of the vehicle and a driving force control unit 120 that limits a change amount of driving force of the vehicle per unit time based on the curvature acquired by the curvature acquisition unit 110.

An earpiece includes an earpiece housing, a processor disposed within the ear piece housing, at least one inertial sensor disposed within the earpiece housing, the at least one inertial sensor operatively connected to the processor, and a wireless transceiver disposed within the earpiece housing and operatively connected to the processor. The earpiece is configured to exchange inertial data with a vehicle having one or more inertial sensors. The vehicle may be a motorcycle, moped, scooter, bicycle, electric bicycle, personal transporter, hover board, or other type of vehicle.

In an aspect, a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle is provided, having a body, and first and second wheels rotatably coupled to the body. The second wheel has at least one lateral roller rotatable about an axis that is one of oblique and orthogonal to a rotation axis of the second wheel. At least one motor is coupled to the second wheel to control rotation of the second wheel and the at least one lateral roller. At least one sensor is coupled to the body to generate orientation data therefor. A control module is coupled to the at least one motor to control operation thereof at least partially based on the orientation data generated by the at least one sensor.

The braking control device includes a control amount derivation unit that derives a target vehicle braking force representing a target value of a vehicle braking force applied, and a braking control unit that controls a regenerative braking device and a frictional braking device based on the target vehicle braking force. When the target vehicle braking force is increased, the braking control unit executes a braking force application process of increasing the frictional braking force applied to the wheel so that such frictional braking force becomes larger than the regenerative braking force applied to the wheel. When the target vehicle braking force is increased, the braking control unit executes a switching process of switching at least a part of the frictional braking force applied to the wheel to the regenerative braking force to increase the regenerative braking force applied to the wheel after execution of the braking force application process.

Disclosed is a driver assistance system including a camera installed in a vehicle, the camera having a field of view around the vehicle and obtaining an image data; and a controller configured to process the image data. The controller performs a lane keeping assistance control for providing an auxiliary steering torque to a steering actuator to maintain a driving lane of a vehicle. The controller changes at least one of a vehicle speed and the auxiliary steering torque depending on a payload of the vehicle during the lane keeping assistance control.
