PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein a conventional traveling vehicle having individually drivable wheels may not make a turn due to insufficient torque when performing a ultra-pivotal brake turning. SOLUTION: When making a turn of a traveling vehicle 1 having right and left front wheels 3 and rear wheels 4 which are individually drivable, and a manipulator 5 to be developed forward of a vehicle body, the manipulator 5 is developed forward of the vehicle body to shift the center of gravity of the vehicle body forward of the vehicle body, and the right and left front wheels 3, 3 are driven opposite to each other. In this turn control method, the distance from the center of gravity of the vehicle body to the front wheels 3 is reduced to enable the rotation with a low torque, and the resistance at the rear wheels 4 and the friction force with the ground are reduced to enable a smooth ultra-pivotal brake turning even by a driving motor 7 of the relatively small output.
