To provide a vehicle which can maintain a vehicle body stability because the acceleration components in the lateral direction are zero even when the position of a vehicle body changes and a force in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis line of the vehicle body acts upon the vehicle body and an occupant, improve turning performance, without making the occupant feel any sense of unease, provide good riding comfort, and achieve a stable traveling state.
The vehicle has: a vehicle body which includes a steering part and a drive part which are mutually connected; a tilting actuator device which tilts the steering part or the drive part in the turning direction; a plurality of sensors which either directly or indirectly detect the lateral acceleration acting on the vehicle body; a required turning amount detection means which detects the required turning amount for the vehicle body; and a vehicle speed detection means which detects the speed of the vehicle. The vehicle carries out feedback control on the basis of the lateral acceleration, and feedforward control on the basis of the required turning amount and the vehicle speed, and thus controls the tilt of the vehicle body.
