SYSTEM FOR REDUCING ROLL AND PITCH IN A MOVING VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle is disclosed designed for traveling on a traveling surface. The vehicle comprises a detection means for detecting irregularities in the traveling surface. From the detected irregularities in the traveling surface a first kinematic effect is calculated that is being exerted, or about to be exerted, on a support wheel of the vehicle. The vehicle further comprises an actuator that exerts a second kinematic effect on the support wheel. The second kinematic effect is identical or similar in magnitude to the first kinematic effect, and opposite in sign. The vehicle can be any vehicle, in particular an industrial vehicle, more particularly a vehicle that can be extended to a height exceeding its wheelbase.

1. A vehicle comprising a chassis; at least one wheel in contact with a traveling surface; a detection means for detecting a surface characteristic of the traveling surface; data processing means for calculating from the surface characteristic a first kinematic effect being exerted or about to be exerted on the at least one wheel by the traveling surface; an actuator for exerting a second kinematic effect on the at least one wheel, said second kinematic effect being designed to counteract the first kinematic effect.
