发明名称 Use of brakes to aid vehicle steering below a threshold speed
摘要 A vehicle (10) includes a pair of steerable front wheels (14a, 14b), and a pair of rear wheels (15a, 15b) which may each independently be braked by the operation of respective brake devices (45c, 45d), the vehicle (10) further including a controller (30) which is capable of providing signals independently to the brake devices (45c, 45d) of the rear wheels (15a, 15b) to effect application and release of a selected brake, and the method including sensing the vehicle (10) traveling speed and providing a first input (26) to the controller (30), sensing steering of the vehicle (10) by the operator and providing a second input (43) to the controller (30), and where the traveling speed is below a threshold speed, and depending on the direction of steering of the vehicle (10), the controller (30) applying one of the brakes. The applied braking force may be proportional to the steering angle, the vehicle speed or a combination thereof.
