VEHICLE, CHARACTERISTIC VALUE ESTIMATING DEVICE, AND LOADED ARTICLE DETERMINATION DEVICE

Title:

VEHICLE, CHARACTERISTIC VALUE ESTIMATING DEVICE, AND LOADED ARTICLE DETERMINATION DEVICE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/129505

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A vehicle whose attitude can be controlled even if the position of the actual center of gravity of the vehicle is not aligned with the position of the designed center of gravity or moved. The effect of the displacement of the actual center of gravity of the vehicle from the designed center of gravity is detected as the torque value produced by the displacement of the center of gravity of the vehicle as shown in Figs. 1 (a), 1(b). As shown in Figs. 1 (c) to 1(e), the displacement of the center of gravity of the vehicle is corrected according to the detected torque value due to one of the correction of body reference angle, movement of balancer, and movement of seat so that the actual center of gravity of the vehicle is aligned with the design center of gravity of the vehicle.
