VEHICLE AND ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate a change of a wheel base accompanying a rise of the center of gravity. SOLUTION: A vehicle 10 includes: a body 11; front wheels 12, 13; a rear wheel 14; body support mechanisms 31, 32 for vertically moving the body 11 with respect to the front wheels 12, 13; a rea...

Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate a change of a wheel base accompanying a rise of the center of gravity. SOLUTION: A vehicle 10 includes: a body 11; front wheels 12, 13; a rear wheel 14; body support mechanisms 31, 32 for vertically moving the body 11 with respect to the front wheels 12, 13; a rear wheel support mechanism 33 for swinging to move the rear wheel 14 back and forth; and a control part for controlling the body support mechanisms 31, 32 and controlling a vertical position of the body 11 so as to swing the rear wheel support mechanism. The control part makes the wheel base smaller by swinging the rear wheel support mechanism 33, and lowers the body 11 by controlling the body support mechanisms 31, 32 when rising the center of gravity of the vehicle 10 so as to reduce a load of swinging the rear wheel support mechanism 33.
