Abstract

See full text

The present invention refers to a system and method for controlling traction in a two-wheeled vehicle comprising a torque controlled motor and a plurality of sensors for instantaneously measuring driving parameters (v, .phi., .theta., .omega., x, a, RPM, gear) of said vehicle, the method comprising the steps of determining a reference slip value (.lamda..sub.0) as a function of a parameter (.theta.) representative of a torque request from a user detected by means of the plurality of sensors; estimating an instantaneous slip value (.lamda..sub.s); determining a first component (t.sub.CL) of a requested torque signal to the motor based upon the difference between the reference slip value (.lamda..sub.0) and the instantaneous slip value (.lamda..sub.s); and is characterised in that the reference slip value (.lamda..sub.0) is determined by means of a torque-slip map correlating the parameter (.theta.) representative of a torque request with a slip (.lamda.), the map varying as a function of a longitudinal speed (v) and a rolling angle (f) of the two-wheeled vehicle detected by means of the plurality of sensors.
