Gold Wing steers with you

Honda has patented an invention to support the active driving safety systems with automatic steering intervention. The system is supposed to bring slipping wheels back to grip with a counter-steering movement.

April 8th, 2021

As well as current lean angle-sensitive stabilization programs work on motorcycles, they currently only help when the brake pressure is built up – i.e. when the brakes are applied. The stabilization system is inactive during all other cornering. Not that it cannot intervene, manufacturers still shy away from allowing autonomous braking interventions on motorcycles. In 2018, Bosch got into heads with a nozzle system and pressure accumulators on the motorcycle: A side throttle should bring the motorcycle back into a safe driving position. Honda is thinking of a steering assistant that actively intervenes when the wheels are slipping and is part of one when it comes to implementation Gold wing quite a long way. We show what the current Gold Wing looks like in the picture gallery

Gold Wing steers independently

Much depends on the roll suppression assist torque calculation block. Whoever I would never have thought such a word even existed, the great device behind it will be explained. Honda chose this block to be the heart of the steering assistant. Using current driving data such as speed, wheel speeds, lean angle, wheel slip and all kinds of accelerations, it calculates whether and how the system exerts a force on the handlebars. Whereby it has to be explained in detail: The system gives a powerful electric motor the command to exert a force on the upper triple clamp via a lever in order to change the steering angle.

The steering assistant from Honda looks very final: on the Gold Wing on the left in the direction of travel, mounted below the handlebar, is the electric motor # 43, which transfers its power to the fork bridge via levers a and b. The engine is controlled by a system based on values ​​from cornering ABS and traction control

Gold Wing in drift mode

Basically, the Honda steering assistant should work with the data from the acceleration sensor independently and independently of ABS and traction control. But Honda has built in a mode of cooperation: If ABS and / or traction control recognize a situation in which an active correction of the steering angle makes sense, the system counter-steers. Friends of madness could look forward to a Gold Wing in a stable drifting side position.

What else could the steering assistant do?

Joking aside. Such a system can of course not only be programmed by Honda for the emergency situations of a Gold Wing. It goes without saying that the system is due to its planned coupling to the on-board systems such as Radar, cruise control or injection, ignition and throttle valves in a weakened form, also useful and conceivable as a lane departure warning for driving in a procession or as an overtaking aid. But Honda does not limit the technology to the Gold Wing, the use on motorcycles with conventional telescopic forks is conceivable and Honda expressly does not exclude it.

Anything that increases security is welcome.

They haven’t lost anything on the motorcycle.

Conclusion

That looks very close to series production. The steering assistant from Honda in a Gold Wing is drawn in detail and the installation position on the bike also appears quite final.

The tension between autonomous driving is gradually expanding to include motorcycles. Not because everyone needs it, but when other road users drive autonomously, then the motorcycle must not stand in line: the risk is too great not only to be overlooked by drivers, but to be completely ignored by cars.
