Title:
VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011230727
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To prevent a rider from feeling a sense of incongruity when turning a vehicle by executing tilt control.

A vehicle has: a body including wheels for traveling; a steering part 60 including a steering member, a wheel 12F for steering, and a steering shaft; a vehicle tilting device including an actuator and a vehicle tilting mechanism for tilting a prescribed tilting location; a lateral acceleration detecting part arranged at the tilting location so as to detect lateral acceleration; a tilt control processing means for driving the actuator on the basis of lateral acceleration; and a steering return member that connects a prescribed part in a riding part 11 and a prescribed part in the steering part 60 to each other so as to return the steering member to the neutral position. When turning is finished and if the steering member is returned toward the neutral-position side along with acceleration of the vehicle by the rider, it reduces a command value to the actuator. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an increase in tilt angle of the vehicle.
