Title:
AUTONOMOUS TRAVELLING TYPE MOTORCYCLE AND AUTONOMOUS CONTROL METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005271815
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a motorcycle capable of autonomously travelling.

This motorcycle is furnished with a motor 9 for oscillation to oscillate a swing arm and a motor 7 for steering to steer a rear wheel 4. Additionally, it is furnished with a gyro-sensor 22 to detect a bank angle, a speedometer 23 to detect travelling speed and a handle 15 to input travelling direction. An ECU 21 computes an oscillating angle ξ0 and a steering angle ζ0 necessary for controlling the motor 9 for oscillation and the motor 7 for steering based on data provided by the handle 15, the gyro-sensor 22 and the speed meter 23. The oscillating angle of the swing arm 3 and the steering angle of the rear wheel 4 are controlled by a motor controller 24 to be the computed oscillating angle ξ0 and the computed steering angle ζ0. It is possible to handle the control for the motorcycle to autonomously travel as positional control and to realize control easy and stable as the oscillating angle ξ0 and the steering angle ζ0 are positional information.
