Title:
CAMBER CONTROL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/061925
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
When traveling on a downhill slope, a lessening of vehicle stability is effectively avoided by means of giving negative camber to the wheels. To this end, a camber control device is disclosed for controlling the camber of prescribed wheels of a vehicle provided with a body and multiple wheels rotating relative to said body. The camber control device has: a camber-varying mechanism for imparting camber to said prescribed wheels which is disposed in the prescribed wheels of the aforementioned multiple wheels; a camber-imparting processing means which operates said camber-varying mechanism to impart negative camber to the aforementioned prescribed wheels; and a downhill slope determination processing means for determining whether or not the aforementioned vehicle is traveling on a downhill slope. If the aforementioned vehicle is traveling on a downhill slope, negative camber is imparted to the aforementioned prescribed wheels by means of the aforementioned camber-imparting processing means.
