BRAKE SYSTEM FOR SADDLED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18277700 titled 'BRAKE SYSTEM FOR SADDLED VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a brake system for a saddled vehicle that automatically adjusts brake fluid pressure based on the driver's posture changes during deceleration.

The system includes a control device that regulates brake pressure for the front and rear wheels.
It also features a throttle position detector that monitors the throttle position on the steering handlebar.
If the throttle position is below a set threshold, the system maintains automatic brake control; if it exceeds the threshold, the automatic control is canceled.

Key Features and Innovation

Automatic adjustment of brake fluid pressure based on driver posture changes.
Throttle position detector for monitoring throttle position.
Threshold-based system for maintaining or canceling automatic brake control.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied to various saddled vehicles such as motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles.

Problems Solved

Ensures proper braking force control considering changes in the driver's posture.
Enhances safety and stability during deceleration.

Benefits

Improved braking performance.
Enhanced rider safety.
Better control over the vehicle during deceleration.

Questions about Adaptive Brake System for Saddled Vehicles

How does the throttle position detector contribute to the automatic brake control system?

The throttle position detector monitors the throttle position on the steering handlebar, allowing the system to adjust brake fluid pressure based on the driver's throttle input during deceleration.

What are the potential safety benefits of this adaptive brake system for saddled vehicles?

The system enhances safety by ensuring proper braking force control, especially when the driver's posture changes during deceleration. This leads to improved stability and control over the vehicle.

Original Abstract Submitted

To provide a brake system for a saddled vehicle that exerts proper braking force control considering changes in the driver's posture during deceleration. A brake system for a saddled vehicle including a control device exerting automatic control over a brake fluid pressure of a front-wheel brake and that of a rear-wheel brake according to various information, and a throttle position detector for detecting a throttle position of a rotary-type throttle operating element mounted on a steering handlebar. When an operation on the throttle operating element is detected at start of automatic control over the front-wheel brake and the rear-wheel brake, if the throttle position is less than a predetermined threshold value, the control device maintains the automatic control, and if the throttle position is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the control device cancels the automatic control.
