Abstract
The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of appropriately executing adaptive cruise control for a straddle-type vehicle while securing a driver's comfort.In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, when braking forces are generated on wheels of the straddle-type vehicle during adaptive cruise control, in which the straddle-type vehicle is made to travel according to a distance from the straddle-type vehicle to a preceding vehicle, motion of the straddle-type vehicle, and the driver's instruction, at a braking start time point at which the braking force starts being generated on each of the wheels, braking force distribution between the front and rear wheels is brought into an initial state where the braking force generated on the rear wheel is larger than the braking force generated on the front wheel. Then, a distribution ratio for the front wheel in the braking force distribution between the front and rear wheels is increased with a lapse of time.
