VEHICLE

摘要

Intended is to provide a vehicle giving a comfortable ride and utilizing the attitude control of an inverted pendulum. The balance (or the inverted state) of a vehicle body is kept by moving a riding area containing a rider, translationally in the longitudinal directions of the vehicle. The riding area containing the rider is moved translationally in the accelerating direction so that a balance between an anti-torque of drive wheels to act on the vehicle body and an inertial force accompanying the acceleration may be kept by the acceleration/deceleration according to a target running state (e.g., acceleration, deceleration or stop) based on the rider's operations. As a result, the angle of inclination of the vehicle body with respect to the acceleration/deceleration can be reduced to provide a comfortable and safe inverted type vehicle.
