CONTROL DEVICE FOR STRADDLE-TYPE VEHICLE AND VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME
First Claim
1. A control device having a processor for performing a constant-running speed control for a straddle-type vehicle having an accelerator, the control device comprising:
- a first storage means configured to store a target cruise control speed;
an input for receiving a detection signal representative of whether the accelerator is operated in a further closing direction from a totally closed position;
instructions for execution by the processor to detect if the vehicle accelerator is operated in a further closing direction from a totally closed position of the vehicle accelerator based upon the detection signal; and
instructions for execution by the processor to decrease the target cruise control speed stored in the first storage means when the further closing operation is detected during a constant-running speed control operation.

Abstract
A control device for a straddle-type vehicle includes a first storage means configured to store a target cruise control speed, and a first detection program which senses if the vehicle accelerator is operated in the further closing direction from the totally closed position of the accelerator. The control device also includes a deceleration processing program which decreases the stored target cruise control speed when the first detection program detects the further closing operation during cruise control. The deceleration processing program varies the rate at which the stored target cruise control speed is decreased according to the magnitude of the operating force utilized in the further closing operation.

23. A method for performing a constant-running speed control for a straddle-type vehicle having an accelerator, the method comprising:
-
determining if the vehicle accelerator is operated in a further closing direction from a totally closed position of the vehicle accelerator; and decreasing a target cruise control speed when the further closing operation is detected during a constant-running speed control operation.

24. One or more device readable mediums for performing a constant-running speed control for a straddle-type vehicle having an accelerator, the one or more device readable mediums storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the device-implemented steps of:
-
storing a target cruise control speed in a first storage means; determining, based upon a detection signal, if the vehicle accelerator is operated in a further closing direction from a totally closed position of the vehicle accelerator; and decreasing the target cruise control speed stored in the first storage means when the further closing operation is detected during a constant-running speed control operation.
