State of the art

From the DE 10 2015 224 675 A1 a method for operating a one-track two-wheeler, cornering assistance system for a one-track two-wheeler is known.

Disclosure of Invention

A method for training the driving behavior of a driver of a motorized two-wheeler is proposed, in which the driver is given a start signal at the beginning of a training program, with a reaction or behavior of the driver being monitored during the training program and analyzed in such a way that, in order to train the driving behavior of the Driver's suggestions for improving driving behavior are determined.

The advantage of the present invention is that training the driving behavior of a driver of a motorized two-wheeler can improve or increase road safety. Better self-control of the driving style can optimize the reaction to unforeseen events on the road. In this way, in particular, the probability of accidents can be reduced, as a result of which safety can be increased both for the driver and for other road users. In particular, costs can preferably be saved, for example for a trainer or other technical aids which are required for training. In particular, the training can be carried out as often as necessary or desired.

In an advantageous embodiment, the driver's reaction or behavior during the training program can be monitored by means of one or more sensors of the motorized two-wheeler. For example, the one or more sensors can be embodied as a tire pressure sensor, an acceleration sensor and/or a yaw rate sensor. As a result, the driver's reaction or behavior during the training program can be monitored, in particular safely and/or reliably. In this way, in particular, measurement data can be determined, which are thus available for analysis.

In an exemplary embodiment, the suggestions for improving the driving behavior can be presented to the driver on a display device of the motorized two-wheeler. As a result, possibilities can be shown to a driver in particular how this simple behavior can be improved, as a result of which road safety in particular can be increased. Furthermore, the transparency for the driver can be increased by showing him which behavior he can improve on the road.

In a further development, emergency braking, evasive maneuvers or cornering can be trained using the training program. In this way, particularly safety-critical situations for the driver of a motorized two-wheeler can be practiced, trained and, in particular, monitored and analyzed. As a result, road safety can be increased and preferably the probability of accidents or serious accidents can be reduced.

Emergency braking can preferably be trained using the training program, with the driver being given the start signal at the beginning of the emergency braking and with a reaction time for the driver until the brake of the motorized two-wheeler is actuated and/or a ratio of the brake pressure of the front wheel to that of the rear wheel being determined is determined and / or a braking distance is determined and / or a tilting moment is determined during emergency braking. Furthermore, the training program can be used to train evasive action, with the driver being given the start signal at the beginning of the evasive action and an evasive direction, and with a reaction time for the driver until the handlebars of the motorized two-wheeler are actuated for evasive action being determined and/or an evasive path being determined and /or a tilting moment is determined. In a further development, cornering can be trained using the training program, with the driver being given the start signal at the beginning of cornering and with an inclined position of the motorized two-wheeler being determined and/or a possible swerving of the motorized two-wheeler being determined and/or a tipping moment being determined . Alternatively or additionally, cornering can be trained using the training program in such a way that the driver is given the start signal at the beginning of cornering, that the roadway is analyzed using GPS and that an ideal line for driving on the roadway is determined. The various training programs can enable the driver of a motorized two-wheeler, in particular, to improve emergency braking, swerving/or cornering, or to improve his behavior in these situations. In this way, in particular, road safety can be increased and the probability of accidents can thus be reduced.

In a further development, the driver's reaction or behavior can be analyzed in this way be that key figures of the reaction or the behavior of the driver are determined. The determined key figures of the reaction or the behavior of the driver can preferably be stored. In this way, it is possible in particular to look back at past training sessions, which means that, for example, progress or an improvement in the training session can be made visible. For this purpose, the determined key figures of the driver's reaction or behavior can be compared during the analysis with stored key figures of the driver's reaction or behavior. As a result, a training history can be displayed to a driver, as a result of which his individual progress in particular can be made visible to him. Furthermore, a driver can be given targeted suggestions for improving his driving behavior and/or be informed about which training sessions have to be repeated. In particular, individually adapted training programs and suggestions for improvement can be made available to the driver.

Alternatively or additionally, the determined key figures of the driver's reaction or behavior can be compared in the analysis with key figures of an optimal reaction or an optimal behavior of the driver. In this way, a reaction or a behavior of the driver during the training program can be analyzed in comparison to an optimal behavior. In this way, suggestions can be made to a driver so that he can train his behavior in road traffic towards optimal behavior.

Furthermore, a computing unit of a motorized two-wheeler is set up to execute the method for training a driving behavior of a driver of a motorized two-wheeler.

Furthermore, a display device of a motorized two-wheeler is proposed, set up to execute the method for training a driving behavior of a driver of a motorized two-wheeler. A display device can be arranged, for example, in an instrument cluster of a motorized two-wheeler or be designed as an instrument cluster of a motorized two-wheeler. Information or image representations can be displayed to a driver by means of a display device. For example, a status can be displayed by means of a display device. The information that is output can be, for example, information about the status, such as the speed, the rpm display, the level of fuel in the tank and/or information about a navigation system and/or information or tips about a training program.

Embodiments of the invention:

1 shows a schematic representation of a motorized two-wheeler 20, for example a motorcycle or a scooter, with a display device 22. The display device 22 is designed to display at least one image for a driver 24 of the motorized two-wheeler 20. The display device 22 can, for example, in an instrument cluster of the motorized two-wheeler 20 or be designed as an instrument cluster of the motorized two-wheeler 20 . The display device 22 can, for example, have a display, for example an LCD display or an OLED display, or can be embodied as a display. The display device 22 is arranged in or on the motorized two-wheeler 20 in such a way that the driver 24 can view the information displayed by means of the display device 22 . By means of the display device 22, information regarding the motorized two-wheeler 20, for example status information, such as a speed and/or a number of revolutions and/or a temperature and/or a tank filling and/or navigation instructions and/or information or instructions of a training program and/or further information which can be used for the operation of a motorized two-wheeler 20 is displayed.

The display device 22 according to FIG 2 can in particular according to the display device 22 according to 1 be executed. Furthermore, the display device 22 according to FIG 2 in particular according to the display device 22 according to FIG 1 be arranged in or on the motorized two-wheeler 20 .

3 shows a schematic representation of a method 28 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method 28 is designed to train a driving behavior of a driver of a motorized two-wheeler. The method 28 can in particular be carried out on a computing unit and/or a display device according to FIG 1 and/or in accordance with 1 to be executed.

In a first step 30 of method 28, the driver is given a start signal at the start of a training program. Then, after the start signal, the driver carries out the training program or goes through one or more exercises for training. For this purpose, the start signal can be displayed on the display device, for example. As an alternative or in addition, a start signal can be designed or output as an acoustic signal.

In a second step 32 of the method 28, a reaction or a behavior of the driver is monitored and analyzed during the training program. The driver's reaction or behavior during the training program can be monitored by means of one or more sensors of the motorized two-wheeler. The one or more sensors can be embodied as a tire pressure sensor, an acceleration sensor and/or a yaw rate sensor.

The reaction or the behavior of the driver can in particular be analyzed in such a way that key figures of the reaction or the behavior of the driver are determined. The determined key figures of the driver's reaction or behavior can be stored, for example on a storage unit of the motorized two-wheeler or alternatively on an external storage device or in a cloud. The determined key figures of the driver's reaction or behavior can preferably be compared during the analysis with stored key figures of the driver's reaction or behavior. In this way, steps to improve his driving behavior can be shown to the driver. Furthermore, individual training programs can be put together. Alternatively or additionally, the determined key figures of the driver's reaction or behavior can be compared during the analysis with key figures of an optimal reaction or an optimal behavior of the driver.

In a third step 34 of the method 28, suggestions for improving the driving behavior are determined in order to train the driving behavior of the driver. The suggestions for improving the driving behavior can preferably be presented to the driver on the display device of the motorized two-wheeler.

For example, these suggestions may be displayed in text form, as an image, and/or as a video.

In an advantageous embodiment, emergency braking can be trained using the training program. Here, the start signal is issued to the driver at the beginning of emergency braking, with a reaction time of the driver until the brake of the motorized two-wheeler is actuated and/or a ratio of the brake pressure of the front wheel to that of the rear wheel and/or a braking distance and/or a tilting moment during the Full braking is determined. In this way it can be determined, for example, whether a driver can improve the ratio between the brake pressure on the front wheel and the rear wheel. Furthermore, it can be determined whether the driver generally applies the necessary braking pressure in order to brake in good time.

In other words, a specific mode can be selected for training in emergency braking. In training mode, the display shows a start signal, for example a traffic light, which can show different phases. First, the traffic light shows a green sign, for example the writing go. As soon as the motorized two-wheeler has reached a certain speed and a random time has elapsed, the display shows the start signal, for example the word Stop. The start signal indicated the point in time at which the driver should carry out or start emergency braking. Braking behavior is recorded and analyzed. The analysis can be carried out using emergency braking during a training session, but also partly using past driving behavior. First of all, the reaction time can be determined, which has elapsed between the start signal on the display and the first application of the brake pressure. The braking distance can be determined, for example, via an integral over the speed of the wheels and output as a graph or number. Furthermore, the ratio of the braking pressure of the front wheel to that of the rear wheel can be measured and calculated and, in particular, displayed. For example, the ratio of the brake pressure to an ideal ratio can be determined and displayed. The tilting moment can be determined via a yaw rate sensor and can be specified, for example, as an angle.

In a further development, avoidance can be trained using the training program. In particular, avoiding an obstacle can be trained. Should an obstacle suddenly appear, such as a moving object, for example another road user, a pedestrian crossing the road or a car door opening, the driver must suddenly react to the obstacle and take evasive action. In order to train this reaction, the training program can be run through or executed. In this case, the driver can be given the start signal at the beginning of the evasion and an evasion direction, in particular displayed on the display device. For the analysis, a driver's reaction time until the handlebars of the motorized two-wheeler are actuated for evasive action and/or an evasive distance and/or a tipping moment can be determined. It can be determined, for example, whether the avoidance route was sufficient or whether a possible obstacle would be touched or contacted despite avoiding the obstacle. A driver can thus be given suggestions for improvement as to how evasion can be improved so that no collision takes place.

In other words, the display can be used to train the dodge exercise in a similar way to the braking exercise. In an advantageous embodiment, a traffic light can be displayed here, and in particular arrows pointing to the left or right can also be displayed. As a result, the driver can be signaled in which direction he should dodge. The direction can then be determined via a yaw rate sensor, which is arranged in particular approximately perpendicularly to the vehicle. The evasive route can be determined via the integral over the yaw rate and classified as to whether the exercise was sufficient or not. This makes it possible to determine whether the alternative route is sufficient. The reaction time can also be displayed and compared to the previously achieved reaction times.

Furthermore, cornering can be trained by means of the training program. For example, cornering, driving a circle or slalom driving can be practiced. In this case, the driver is given the start signal at the beginning of cornering, with an inclined position of the motorized two-wheeler and/or a possible swerving of the motorized two-wheeler and/or a tipping moment being determined. In a further development, cornering can be trained using the training program in such a way that the roadway is analyzed using GPS and an ideal line for driving on the roadway is determined. The ideal line can be shown to the driver in particular on the display device, as a result of which he can drive or follow the ideal line. It is preferably possible to mark the points at which the driver deviates from the ideal line.

In other words, during the cornering exercise, the rotational movement can be detected via a yaw rate sensor perpendicular to the vehicle and the cornering behavior can be represented via an integral. With the help of acceleration sensors, it is possible in particular to measure and display a maximum lateral acceleration. Furthermore, an estimate can be given of the area from which a breakout would be expected. With the support of GPS or a differential GPS, it is possible to include a localization within the area of the road and to show the comparison to an ideal line. Likewise, in an advantageous implementation, the current engine output and/or the torque can be displayed. Furthermore, an inclined position can be determined and displayed by means of a calculation by the inertial sensors.

A driving safety function for training driving behavior is preferably integrated into the display device, in particular the connectivity display. Sensor information from the assistance systems can determine key figures and diagrams and present or display them to the driver.

In an advantageous embodiment, certain vehicle functions, such as engine performance, can only be activated after a certain level of driving safety has been released. A closed chain of rules with a technical intervention would be available here.

In an advantageous embodiment, the training program could only be possible if the road conditions are appropriate. In other words, a driver can only start the training program if the conditions on the road allow this, and this can be analyzed in particular using sensors and/or a camera and/or weather data. For example, an instruction in the training program, such as emergency braking, swerving, braking or cornering, can only be given if the road surface has a minimum coefficient of friction, if the road is dry and/or if the surrounding area is at a certain temperature , for example over 7°.
