ABSTRACT:
A two-wheeled vehicle control apparatus will compute banking angle and handlebar steering angle to control the vehicle. One feature of the vehicle which is controlled is light distribution from the headlight. A dynamic center value for the headlight will be utilized in this control unless the apparatus determines this value has a low level of accuracy. The control apparatus will store certain control values for a predetermined time after the vehicle is turned off. If the vehicle is traveling in excess of a predetermined velocity, the control apparatus will modify its control of the vehicle. Further, if the velocity is less than another predetermined level and the turning of the handlebar is below a certain level, the control apparatus will stop controlling the vehicle. For example, if the vehicle is traveling over a bumpy road, the control apparatus can recognize this and accordingly modify the control of the vehicle. Finally, the control apparatus can modify the handlebar steering angle used in controlling the vehicle, if an amount of change in the steering angle exceeds a given level.
