Abstract
Abstract An antilock brake control system for a motorcycle having front and rear wheels includes detectors (S o , S₁) for detecting front and rear wheel velocities, and a calculator (CAL) for calculating an estimated velocity of the motorcycle. The calculator (CAL) also calculates a slippage of the front and rear wheels relatively to the estimated motorcycle velocity. The amount of slippage is corrected by a compensation amount determined by the detection of various situations such as presence and absence of antilock control applied to front or rear wheel and presence and absence of brake applied to front or rear wheel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
An antilock brake control system for a motorcycle having front and rear wheels, comprising: means for detecting a velocity of said front wheel; means for detecting a velocity of said rear wheel; means for calculating an estimated velocity of said motorcycle based on the detected front and rear wheel velocities; means for calculating a slippage of said front and rear wheels relatively to the estimated motorcycle velocity; means for detecting a brake applied to said front wheel; means for detecting a brake applied to said rear wheel; means for providing antilock control to said front wheel; means for providing antilock control to said rear wheel; means for detecting whether or not one of said front and real wheel is provided with antilock control; means for detecting whether or not one of said front and real wheel is applied with brake; and means for producing compensation amounts for compensating said slippage when each of said front and rear wheels is provided with antilock control.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
163 words
An antilock brake control system for a motorcycle having front and rear wheels, comprising: means for detecting a velocity of said front wheel; means for detecting a velocity of said rear wheel; means for calculating an estimated velocity of said motorcycle based on the detected front and rear wheel velocities; means for calculating a slippage of said front and rear wheels relatively to the estimated motorcycle velocity; means for detecting a brake applied to said front wheel; means for detecting a brake applied to said rear wheel; means for providing antilock control to said front wheel; means for providing antilock control to said rear wheel; means for detecting whether or not one of said front and real wheel is provided with antilock control; means for detecting whether or not one of said front and real wheel is applied with brake; and means for producing compensation amounts for compensating said slippage when each of said front and rear wheels is provided with antilock control.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
An antilock brake control system for a motorcycle as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said compensation amount producing means produces a first compensation amount when one of said front and rear wheel is provided with antilock control and, at the same time, the wheel not provided with antilock control is not applied with brake.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
An antilock brake control system for a motorcycle as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said compensation amount producing means produces a second compensation amount when one of said front and rear wheel is provided with antilock control and, at the same time, the wheel not provided with antilock control is applied with brake.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
An antilock brake control system for a motorcycle as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said compensation amount producing means further produces compensation amounts for compensating said slippage when neither of said front and rear wheels is provided with antilock control and at the same time, either of said front and rear wheels is applied with brake.
