CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE BEHAVIOR OF A LEAN ANGLE DURING TURNING

The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of simultaneously achieving freedom of driving and safety of a lean vehicle. [0002] In a controller (60) and the control method according to the present invention, a control section of the controller (60) can execute anti-lock braking operation for suppressing locking of a rear wheel (4) by increasing/reducing a braking force or drive power of the rear wheel (4) of a lean vehicle (100) and thereby controlling a slip degree of the rear wheel (4) to a slip degree target, and in the case where a slide request, which is a request by a rider to make the lean vehicle (100) slide, is present, implements a slide control mode in which the anti-lock braking operation is performed by setting the slip degree target to be higher than that of a case where the slide request is absent.
